Böcker av Erich (Erich von Daniken) von Daniken

"War of the Gods examines ancient scriptures from India, Siberia, Tahiti, and many other regions of the world independently on reports of battles in the stars. Weapons of unimaginable destructive power were used in the battle. Use of one of these weapons destroyed a planet completely. Traditions from all over the world depict the gruesome effects of the battle in space. Many ancient stories speak of it raining fire from the sky for years. The people of the time tried to protect themselves from this, and thus created more testimonies that prove the star war and contact with beings from other planets. With impressive examples von Dèaniken illustrates some of the numerous cities that were dug underground as safe harbors from the destructive boulders. Miles and miles of underground passageways have been discovered around the world as they made space for villages and entire cities. To end the book, von Dèaniken presents his newest discoveries of an event that can only be described as shocking: In 2017, the author was informed that strange mummified creatures were found near the Peruvian village of Nazca. They lived several thousand years, had three fingers and three toes, and had exceptionally long heads. One of the mummies, apparently several thousand years ago, had been implanted with a metal plate under the skin. Scientists agree: These creatures are not from Earth!"-- Publisher.

"This book shares the story of Adel H., an Egyptologist, who, as a sixteen-year-old boy, was trapped for days under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Based on conversations with Adel H., the author tells of the boy's search for a way out of the underground world, how the boy roams passageways and chambers and sees what he calls 'impossible' things of which the professional world is completely unaware. Adel experiences uncanny events, a mixture of spirit realm and reality, that is described here for the first time. 'The story of Egypt,' Adel says, 'has two sides - the official one and the unknown one.'"

We live in an age of information. But there are things in our prehistory "e;about which we do not have the faintest idea,"e; writes best-selling author Erich von Daniken in his gripping new book, REMNANTS OF THE GODS. Stone structures erected by master builders, mysterious underground complexes, geometrically aligned stone circles, the breathtaking pyramids of Egypt - who built them? And, perhaps more importantly, where did these builders obtain such incredible knowledge? Erich von Dniken shows in detail how whole countries were surveyed thousands of years ago. Hundreds of Stone Age holy places are located at equal distances from one another, forming giant squares and triangles. How was all of this possible? Classic archaeology provides no answers to these questions. Worse still, it doesn't even appear to be interested. Are we all threatening to become "e;camp followers of disinterest,"e; as Erich asks? Featuring more than 160 colour photos and illustrations, Erich reveals the secrets of "e;impossible buildings"e; in Europe and the Mediterranean region, describes "e;crazy facts"e; and relentlessly exposes false doctrines. REMNANTS OF THE GODS will make even strident sceptics reconsider what they think they know of the past.
