Chariots of the Gods

by Erich von Daniken

[inlibrisveritas]

Let me start of by saying that I do not accept this as the truth, however the some of ideas are not as far-fetched as they might seem at first. One reason I love the ancient astronaut theory is because it brings light to all the thing archaeology conveniently "overlooks". When I was in my archaeology/anthropology classes and learned about the great wonders of out past surprisingly none of the "unexplainable" stuff was ever mentioned. Which is part of the reason I know look at my once favorite field of study with a bit of disdain. I wanted to hear their theories on all the amazing feats accomplished but they chose to give very straightforward answers that while they make it easier to understand don't really seem to fit. Main stream scientists don't seem to like facing the possibility of things they themselves consider impossible, where as this theory doesn't like to discredit anything truly probable. Daniken had some very interesting theories that make a lot of sense of you look at it from an open mind. Some of them of course are little out there but at least it opens you up to think on such grand scales. I might pick up a few more of his books in the future.
