How could an ancient Sanskrit text contain an account which could only be of a journey in an alien craft? The onsite quarrying for stones and also canal transportation of the stones is the most accepted hypothesis regarding the construction of Pyramids. I think for us to stand here on one infinitely insignificant world among countless billions (or trillions) in the "known" universe and state "we are it and we are the best" is ridiculous beyond my ability to put into words.

Chariots of the Gods is a provocative attempt to explain some of the universe's most interesting mysteries. The concept of ancient extraterrestrials has been used as a plot element in television shows and movies like Star Trek (which actually addressed the question before von Däniken's book was published), Stargate, The Thing, The X-Files, the Alien franchise (most notably, Prometheus), Neon Genesis Evangelion, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and The Eternals.Von Danikens ideas have been the inspiration for a wide range of television series, including the History Channel’s hit Ancient Aliens. And since Thor is known as the Thunderer, he must be a reference to space aliens who make the sky unsafe for human travel (because the alternative theory, that people were aware of the existence of thunder, is too ludicrous for him to even consider). Compare photographs of American space centre launch sites to the constructions on the plains of Nazca in Peru.

When he, in between these topics, dismisses the Theory of Relativity on the grounds that "19th century mathematicians" proved that trains were impossible because passengers would die when the train reached 21 miles an hour.

Books like it might also be a prime example of why one of these Goodreads friends observes that he sometimes has trouble deciding whether to classify a book as "nonfiction" or fiction; the author certainly wants readers to view it as nonfiction, but a factual basis isn't one of its attributes. a whole civilisation which is so far away, we cannot comprehend, we dismiss it all as a mythical superstitions. Later editions were published as "Chariot of the Gods"; but this early edition I have is instead entitled "Chariot of the Gods?

There are many problems connected with the technology of the pyramid builders and no genuine solutions. the narrators of the Thousand and One nights drew on their own imagination, and on a rich heritage of folk tales. for me, an engineer who began his career in aircraft desgin in 1934, and who was working on large rockets and spacecraft, such books provide wonderful entertainment, and no more; they discribe exciting events that occured at times and in places that cannot be checked. It's not really an 'early' date at all, when you consider that humans had been around for tens if not hundreds of thousands of years by that point, and near-humans for much longer.

In this book, the author tries to tell us the mysteries behind the Egyptian civilization and Mayan civilizations. Today, documentaries espousing alien mythology can be found on most streaming platforms and are plentiful on YouTube. HAVING BEEN TO EL CASTILLO AT CHICHEN ITZA,MEXICO MYSELF, IT IS VERY OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THESE ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS SUCH AS THE MAYANS POSSESSED TECHNOLOGIES FAR ADVANCED OF WHAT WE BELIEVE THEM TO BE CAPABLE OF.
