In 1968 a book was published that shattered conventional theories about history and archaeology –

CHARIOTS OF THE GODS

Written by Swiss author Erich von Däniken, Chariots Of The Gods claimed to prove that aliens had visited Earth thousands of years ago. Von Däniken insists that religious texts, cave drawings, stone sculptures, pyramids and monuments of the great ancient civilizations should be viewed as evidence of this close encounter. 

He affirms that the extraterrestrial visitors interfered in the genesis of Homo sapiens and changed the course of human history forever, with the promise that they would come back one day.

These controversial theories shocked, excited and captivated the public. Chariots Of The Gods caused a sensation and became a monumental bestseller which took the world by storm capturing the imaginations of generations around the world.
