By Erich von Däniken. Von Daniken's most famous work, which popularized the "ancient astronaut" field in the late 1960s. "This world-famous best seller examines scientific evidence from five continents that proves that Earth has been visited repeatedly by advanced aliens from other worlds. They left their mark in ancient ruins, lost cities and spaceports, and most amazingly of all, on your own face in the mirror: for von Daniken's most startling conclusion is that we ourselves are descendants of these alien astronauts!" Text from back cover.

"As in his Chariots of the Gods?, Von Daniken once more strains scientific credulity but intrigues and fascinates with his bold theories and speculations about mysterious 'visitors' from outer space in ancient and prehistoric times. Such open-ended possibilities as he proposes make for absorbing reading." -- Publishers' Weekly (3/22/99)

By Erich von Däniken. 1972 (1974), Bantam, 250pp, B+W illustrations throughout. (VG) "Erich von Daniken covered 76,000 miles and three continents developing new evidence to bolster his theory of a prehistoric earthly "era of the gods." From a mysterious system of caves and tunnels (filled with gold!) in Equador to ancient ruins on the Caroline Islands (composed of blocks impossible to transport without advanced technology) [Nan Madol] the author explores the inexplicable artifacts of bygone ages. Elucidating undecipherable writings and drawings in solid gold which take us back in time to the Great Flood, he ultimately suggests an intergalactic "battle of the gods" whose losers retreated to, and settled, our earth." Includes B+W photos and 8 pages of color photos. (3/22/99)
