    About this audiobook

    Were human beings created by powers from outer space? Did extraterrestrial giants build the megaliths of Malta and the menhirs of Brittany? Was the Ark of the Covenant a machine built by the astronaut gods?

    In Signs of the Gods? Erich von Daniken travels far and wide around the globe to study the many strange phenomena that all point to one conclusion-that many thousands of years ago, Earth was visited by a race of superhuman powers and intelligence.

    The questions he addresses along the way include:

    -Why are the religious sites in Greece all laid out in the same geometrical pattern-a pattern which is repeated throughout the world?

    -Does the extraordinary longevity of the ancient Sumerian kings mean that the Land of the Two Rivers was ruled by a race of supermen?

    -Could the first men have been produced by cloning?

    -Do the great ruins of Zimbabwe point to an impossibly detailed knowledge of astronomy?

    Erich von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods provoked a worldwide storm of controversy. In Signs of the Gods? he produces powerful arguments to support his theory of astronaut gods, with evidence that is difficult to explain any other way. Hear what he has to say with an open mind-and you may find yourself agreeing with him.

    Erich von Daniken

    Erich von Daniken has spent a lifetime gathering evidence to prove that before the dawn of recorded history our ancestors were visited by an alien race. Erich Von Daniken was responsible for popularising the ancient astronaut hypothesis of human development. Orthodox historians have been sceptical but a vast public have been drawn to his ideas by instinctive interest and wonder. His 26 books have sold over 60 million copies, in over 40 languages.

      Another brilliant book by Erich. Probably his best yet since his first book Chariots of the Gods. You are a genius Erich and everything that you write is absolutely on the mark. People of this world, stand up and take note. Listen to what this man has to say and your life will have so much more meaning!

      I like this book the least of Von Däniken’s books that I have read so far. While I don’t subscribe to the majority of his writings I do find them entertaining and a little thought provoking. This book seemed to have a lot of filler to it. Whole passages are given over to examples of what extra terrestrials think of humans and of earth. And I don’t think we really need to have these examples presented to us. I would find it more worthwhile if some of the archeological finds talked about in the book had been fleshed out a bit more.
