Success!

The first being, was god an astronaut. No, he wasn't. The premise to his theory is that knowledge couldn't come without somebody giving man the idea. To use my example rather than Danikens; the bike couldn't have been thought up by man, some superior being must have shown man a bike like vehicle and then man copied it. That's how it seems to be for poor old ancient man. Too dumb to create things and could only make "new" things because he had been shown something of a similar thing before. Man inventing anything to Von Daniken is more far fetched than an alien telling us about it. So all the stories of God's moving about the sky were astronauts from another planet. Filling ancient man's head with things he was too stupid to invent. Doesn't sound plausible in the slightest, not when you consider what has been invented since man became more than an animal. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you cannot follow Einstein; one scientist called him the great solitary because he could discuss his theory with only a dozen or so of his contemporaries."

Not because of large words or the difficulty of the issues. Rather, the prose is so stilted, the editing so horrible, the sentences so run-on, it was hard to plod through.

Consensus among archeologists is that the Nazca lines were created by pre-Columbian civilizations for cultural purposes. Efforts by archeologists to refute fringe theories such as Däniken's have been minimal, however. [30] Silverman and Proulx have said that this silence from archaeologists has harmed the profession, as well as the Peruvian nation. [30] Von Däniken's books attracted so many tourists to the Nazca region that researcher Maria Reiche had to spend much of her own time and money preserving the lines.

The most notorious among these was put forth by Erich von Däniken (...) Samuel Rosenberg said that the Book of Dzyan, referred to by von Däniken, [27] was "a fabrication superimposed on a gigantic hoax concocted by Madame Blavatsky." He also says that the " Tulli Papyrus", cited by von Däniken in one of his books, [27] is probably cribbed from the Book of Ezekiel, and quoted Nolli (through Walter Ramberg, Scientific Attache at the U.S. Embassy in Rome), then current Director of the Egyptian Section of the Vatican Museum, as "suspect[ing] that Tulli was taken in and that the papyrus is a fake." [28] According to Richard R. Lingeman of The New York Times, it is likely that von Däniken obtained these references from UFO books that mentioned them as real documents. [27] Nazca Lines [ edit ] Some of the Nazca lines The main thesis of Chariots of the Gods is that extraterrestrial beings influenced ancient technology. Von Däniken suggests that some ancient structures and artifacts appear to reflect more sophisticated technological knowledge than is known or presumed to have existed at the times they were manufactured. Von Däniken maintains that these artifacts were produced either by extraterrestrial visitors or by humans who learned the necessary knowledge from extraterrestrials. [1] [3] [4] It's more of a pamphlet that raises questions. The author raises some important and intriguing questions, but I can't recommend that readers pay for a book of questions.
