About the author

Greek: Έριχ φον Νταίνικεν

Erich Anton Paul von Däniken (1935–2026) was a Swiss author of several pseudoscientific books which made claims about extraterrestrial influences on early human culture, including the best-selling Chariots of the Gods?, published in 1968. Däniken was one of the main figures responsible for popularizing the "paleo-contact" and ancient astronauts hypotheses.

The ideas put forth in his books are rejected by virtually all scientists and academics, who categorize his work as pseudohistory, pseudoarchaeology, and pseudoscience. Early in his career, he was convicted and served time for several counts of fraud or embezzlement, and wrote one of his books in prison.

Guilty pleasure. Im głębiej w tekst, tym bardziej autorowi odjeżdża peron, ale trzeba mu przyznać, że ma niezły warsztat pisarski.

It is always nice to hear about the old civilizations of the mayans and natives in central america, it makes me think about home and also a little sad about how that big awesome empire just got erased from the earth.

I do wonder what would have happened if the conquistadores would let the mayans keep their traditions and religion. Oh well.

Thinking about what the author says in the book about how the gods of the mayans might have come from another place in the universe is an interesting theory that even if doesn't necesarly be true, it kind fo makes a little bit of sense.

After all, surerly we are not alone on the cosmos, right?

I give it such a high rating because I read the whole thing in science fiction key :P I was terribly curious about this alien conspiracy guru and had a lot of fun.

This is my favorite Däniken book. Having been introduced to ancient mysteries, this one sums it all up: Ancient astronauts, the gods of old civilizations, came to this earth, did great things, and left with the promise of returning someday. Bold ideas supported by archaeological data, or simply tall tales for the gullible? Who cares! I enjoyed reading it.
