Erich von Däniken Book order

Who Was Enoch and Did He Speak the Language of Extraterrestrials? The bestselling author of Chariots of the Gods , Erich von Däniken, examines the great traditions of mankind—thousands of years old—for signs, traces, messages that point to early contact with extraterrestrial intelligences. The Gods were here. But when will they return? Or have they ever really left? The culmination of long-term research, Enoch and the Return of the Gods argues that we are very much in the minds and eyes of other cosmic life-forms and that, as a result, many of the dramatic historical events and remarkable teachings of religious texts should be reinterpreted. The words of the Bible are at the center of his text-critical interpretations that pick apart the sense and nonsense of religious views. He also draws on ancient Jewish sagas and legends, reports from early historians, and Indian, Babylonian, and Persian traditions. As always, von Däniken finds support for a number of interesting  The Gods were here, and it is clear their influence remains to this day. This book was first published in 1998 under the title  The Return of the Gods . This new edition features a new introduction by the author.

A fascinating exploration of why Darwinism no longer explains everything. There was once a set of ideas called the theory of evolution conceived by clever people and confirmed by countless scientists. Then, the electron microscope was invented. This made it possible to make the molecules within the cell visible, and suddenly, new, heretofore hidden questions about evolution arose, questions we didn't even know how to ask. What is the force that actually bundles atoms in the right order? What moves the molecular chains into the correct position? How did the first living unit within the cell come about? How does inheritance work? How does this molecular information pass on to the next generation? Did humans descend only and exclusively from primates--as Charles Darwin and countless other great minds assumed--due to "natural selection," or did additional "engines" intervene in evolution? In this fascinating book, Erich von Däniken uses countless biologic examples to demonstrate the implausibility of the prevailing theory of evolution. He quotes scientists who argue against Darwinism and those who defend it. Clearly, there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than can be explained by the theory of evolution alone. And if Darwin was wrong, what does that mean for our understanding of our own evolution of humanity.--

"This book shares the story of Adel H., an Egyptologist, who, as a sixteen-year-old boy, was trapped for days under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Based on conversations with Adel H., the author tells of the boy's search for a way out of the underground world, how the boy roams passageways and chambers and sees what he calls 'impossible' things of which the professional world is completely unaware. Adel experiences uncanny events, a mixture of spirit realm and reality, that is described here for the first time. 'The story of Egypt,' Adel says, 'has two sides - the official one and the unknown one.'"

A highly readable introduction to Erich von Daniken's astounding theories about alien contact with the Earth from earliest times, updated with new evidence from his research into formerly inaccessible sites.

"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 Däniken 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 Däniken 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!"--Amazon.com

The father of the ancient alien theory with more than 65 million books sold reveals everything he has withheld for years. In all his years of service, why didn't Erich von Däniken ever doubt his theory that inhabitants of other planets had come into contact with humanity ages ago, and that they still observe us today? How could von Däniken in all these years say firmly that the UFO phenomenon is real and that people are being abducted by aliens? Why does he repeatedly criticize the official historiography and our religions and thus accept scorn and hostility? The answers to these questions are: Because Erich von Däniken spoke to people who supported his theories. Because people who saw UFOs or were kidnapped by aliens trusted him. And because experts and insiders inaugurated secrets known to only a few people. In this book, the now 81-year-old presents selected eyewitnesses and insiders for the first time, reveals secrets and stories that he has hitherto kept private, and presents reports and revelations that leave one speechless!

"Erich boldly continues to challenge our understanding of history." --Philip Coppens, author, The Ancient Alien Question We live in an age of information. But there are things in our prehistory "about which we do not have the faintest idea," writes best-selling author Erich von Däniken 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 Däniken 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 "camp followers of disinterest," as Erich asks? Featuring more than 160 color photos and illustrations, Erich reveals the secrets of "impossible buildings" in Europe and the Mediterranean region, describes "crazy facts," and relentlessly exposes false doctrines. Remnants of the Gods will make even strident skeptics reconsider what they think they know of the past.

Dispels the prejudices and misconceptions that surround the Mayan Calendar, 2012, and the existence of extraterrestrial life.

Why do nearly all the world's major religions share such similar myths and legends? Erich Von Däniken, author of the runaway international bestseller Chariots of the Gods, believes he knows--and the answer is as wondrous and awe-inspiring as it is controversial: the winged angels populating the Bible, Koran, and other religious texts from cultures the world over were in reality extraterrestrials who visited the Earth in ages long past. Fully illustrated with compelling full-color and black-and-white photographs, the book takes us from the jungles of Myanmar, where ancient pagodas point heavenward in the unmistakable shape of spacecraft, to Portugal's mysterious legend of Fatima and on to the unexplained "landing strips" of Peru and Egypt, offering persuasive evidence that actual living beings inspired the legends that became the basis for many of our religious traditions. Intellectually challenging and provocative, these findings shake the foundations of both science and faith.
