Böcker av Erich (Erich von Daniken) von Daniken

"War of the Gods examines ancient scriptures from India, Siberia, Tahiti, and many other regions of the world independently on reports of battles in the stars. Weapons of unimaginable destructive power were used in the battle. Use of one of these weapons destroyed a planet completely. Traditions from all over the world depict the gruesome effects of the battle in space. Many ancient stories speak of it raining fire from the sky for years. The people of the time tried to protect themselves from this, and thus created more testimonies that prove the star war and contact with beings from other planets. With impressive examples von Dèaniken illustrates some of the numerous cities that were dug underground as safe harbors from the destructive boulders. Miles and miles of underground passageways have been discovered around the world as they made space for villages and entire cities. To end the book, von Dèaniken presents his newest discoveries of an event that can only be described as shocking: In 2017, the author was informed that strange mummified creatures were found near the Peruvian village of Nazca. They lived several thousand years, had three fingers and three toes, and had exceptionally long heads. One of the mummies, apparently several thousand years ago, had been implanted with a metal plate under the skin. Scientists agree: These creatures are not from Earth!"-- Publisher.

We live in an age of information. But there are things in our prehistory "e;about which we do not have the faintest idea,"e; writes best-selling author Erich von Daniken in his gripping new book, REMNANTS OF THE GODS. Stone structures erected by master builders, mysterious underground complexes, geometrically aligned stone circles, the breathtaking pyramids of Egypt - who built them? And, perhaps more importantly, where did these builders obtain such incredible knowledge? Erich von Dniken shows in detail how whole countries were surveyed thousands of years ago. Hundreds of Stone Age holy places are located at equal distances from one another, forming giant squares and triangles. How was all of this possible? Classic archaeology provides no answers to these questions. Worse still, it doesn't even appear to be interested. Are we all threatening to become "e;camp followers of disinterest,"e; as Erich asks? Featuring more than 160 colour photos and illustrations, Erich reveals the secrets of "e;impossible buildings"e; in Europe and the Mediterranean region, describes "e;crazy facts"e; and relentlessly exposes false doctrines. REMNANTS OF THE GODS will make even strident sceptics reconsider what they think they know of the past.

This translation originally published in 1973.

The author tackles the history of Greece and again challenges beliefs about how civilization arose. Using painstaking archaeological research and evidence from the writings of Plato and Aristotle, he suggests that the Greek myths were, in fact, very much a reality, and that the Greek gods were actually extraterrestrial beings who arrived on Earth many thousands of years ago. 224 pp.
