“Chariots of the Gods” is a groundbreaking book written by Erich von Däniken that explores the possibility of extraterrestrial influence on ancient human civilizations. Published in 1968, the book presents a compelling argument suggesting that various ancient monuments, artifacts, and myths could be interpreted as evidence of advanced extraterrestrial visitations. Von Däniken examines archaeological findings from different cultures and time periods, proposing that these ancient civilizations may have received knowledge, technology, or even direct guidance from beings not of Earth. The author’s hypothesis challenges conventional interpretations of history and archaeology, sparking debates and discussions about the origins of human achievements and the role of otherworldly entities in shaping our past.
