"Erich boldly made us think about what no one else dared to even speak of. He continues to challenge our understanding of history."
--Philip Coppens, author of The Ancient Alien Question

Ancient humans had the natural urge to document the world in which they lived, a fact that is evident in the cave paintings and carvings that still exist today. Why do rock paintings from various sites around the world all seem to depict the same things? Did the peoples of the prehistoric world have contact with each another? Is it possible that some were transported to far-flung locations in what our ancestors could only have described as "flying chariots"?

Erich von Daniken, one of the best-selling authors of all time and regarded by many as the father of the ancient alien theory, continues his mission to uncover Earth's ancient past--this time with more than 150 extraordinary full-color photographs--in Evidence of the Gods .

This extensively illustrated book features never-before-seen photographs from his unique archive, compiled throughout decades of searching around the world for traces of the cosmic gods whom he believes came to Earth thousands of years ago. Evidence of the Gods offers the best and most impressive evidence to date, along with concise explanations for the images, to bolster the case that von Daniken has already been making quite convincingly for years.

Evidence of the Gods is his most convincing--and thoroughly entertaining--work yet.

Did extraterrestrial visitors really leave their unmistakable traces on our planet thousands of years ago?

The images will speak for themselves.

Muchos escritores han insistido en que la Gran Pirámide de Keops, en Gizeh, no podría ser construida ni siquiera con los conocimientos científicos y la maquinaria actuales. Erich von Däniken, afirma sin rodeos en el libro: ‘Hoy, en el siglo veinte, ningún arquitecto podría construir una copia de la pirámide de Keops, aunque los recursos técnicos de todos los continentes estuvieran a su disposición.’ Si nosotros no podemos construirlas, ¿cómo pudieron hacerlo los antiguos egipcios, con su técnica primitiva y sus sencillas herramientas? ¿Acaso los ‘ayudó’ alguna inteligencia extraterrestre? Daniken conocido por haber difundido la teoría de que la Tierra ha sido visitada por extraterrestres en el pasado, lo que inspiró al movimiento New Age y dio a conocer así la teoría de los “Antiguos Astronautas”. Popularizó sus teorías a través de sus múltiples libros, vídeos y programas para televisión. Este libro sirvió de argumento base para el rodaje de la película Recuerdos del Futuro.
