Story
Erich von Däniken again shows his flair for revealing truths that his contemporaries have missed. After closely analyzing hundreds of ancient and apparently unrelated texts, he is now ready to proclaim that human history is nothing like the world religions claim---and he has the proof! In History Is Wrong, von Däniken takes a closer look at the fascinating Voynich manuscript, which has defied all attempts at decription since its discovery, and makes some intriguing revelations about the equally incredible book of Enoch.

The father of the ancient alien theory with more than 65 million books sold reveals everything he has withheld for years. In all his years of service, why didn't Erich von Däniken ever doubt his theory that inhabitants of other planets had come into contact with humanity ages ago, and that they still observe us today? In this audiobook, the now 81-year-old presents selected eyewitnesses and insiders for the first time, reveals secrets and stories that he has hitherto kept private, and presents reports and revelations that leave one speechless!

Popular Lost Cities author David Hatcher Childress takes us into the amazing world of ancient technology, from computers in antiquity to the flying machines of the gods. Childress looks at the technology that was allegedly used in Atlantis and the theory that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was originally a gigantic power station. He examines tales of ancient flight and the technology that it involved; how the ancients used electricity; megalithic building techniques; the use of crystal lenses and the fire from the gods; and more.

But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-established picture and we know now that the Americas were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago - many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere.

Publisher's Summary
Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods is a work of monumental importance---the first book to introduce the shocking theory that ancient Earth was visited by aliens. This world-famous best seller has withstood the test of time, inspiring countless books and films, including the author's own popular sequel, The Eye of the Sphinx. But here is where it all began---von Däniken's startling theories of our earliest encounters with alien worlds, based upon his lifelong studies of ancient ruins, lost cities, potential spaceports, and a myriad of hard scientific facts that point to extraterrestrial intervention in human history. Most incredible of all, however, is von Däniken's theory that we ourselves are the descendents of these galactic pioneers---and the archaeological discoveries that prove it:
- An alien astronaut preserved in a pyramid
- Thousand-year-old spaceflight navigation charts
- Computer astronomy from Incan and Egyptian ruins
- A map of the land beneath the ice cap of Antarctica
- A giant spaceport preserved in the Andes

The Book That Started the Conjecture
This book is pretty dated - there is much more evidence uncovered by investigators inspired by von Däniken (watch 'Ancient Aliens' for examples). His initial "crazy" quasi-archeological theorizing was merely the first.. (courageously published in 1968). Subsequent criticism of his methods (AND theories) is surely warranted - von Däniken is no scientist - but the outside-the-box thinking is encouraging and triumphantly "human". The book is clearly written (easy to follow) and introduces truly intriguing ideas. There are real flaws (the chapter on the development of the Space Program doesn't fit, for example) but most of the book is well-planned.
I'm a skeptic (I think this stuff is nonsense), but it's undeniably thought-provoking and the ideas are fun to contemplate. I'm convinced that giving consideration to the craziest-sounding alternative viewpoints is part of developing Critical Appraisal skills. For that reason (and for the undeniably entertaining aspects), I can definitely recommend this genre-establishing book.
The weakest feature of the recording is the use of William Dufris as the reader. He does a professional job (reading clearly and with evident interest), but his pacing is notably off (I sped the recording to 1.20X on the app to good effect). Additionally, I am thankful there is no dialogue in the book - I suspect Dufris would not be good (in fact I *cringe* at the thought).
Make use of an open mind and enjoy this clear and relatively well-written pseudoscientific first foray into the idea that Earth was visited/instructed/seeded from outer space. The author doesn't fully address the hypothetical ancestor race (e.g. the 'Annunaki') and doesn't discuss the incredibly interesting theories on 'Panspermia', but this novel started it all - and is a great place to start if you're interested. Worth the Credit.
TO THE PRODUCERS: This product would be vastly improved with the inclusion of a PDF with the accompanying photographs that are in the paper copy of the book.

Answers? No. But if you wish to think it's great!
If you could sum up Chariots of the Gods in three words, what would they be?
Thought provoking theories.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Chariots of the Gods?
The general question...Why/How did our ancient ancestors on nearly every continent just CHOOSE to do things completely without reason or logic if other forces were NOT at work and yet have such similarities?
Which scene was your favorite?
No scenes as this is a book of theories.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Extreme reaction? No - but certainly fed my fire for answers of the "Big Picture" even more.
Any additional comments?
I've read a few dozen reviews about what people like & don't like about this book. I can agree with some, disagree with many others, but in my personal opinion what most of the reviews have in common that I believe is incorrect is the expectation that the author/researcher produced THE handbook with answers to the many mysteries of the 3rd planet from the Sun.I believe the author is just trying to get others to think about the same things and curiosities that the author himself found to be worth the time to correlate and explore knowing that no answers can be given. Just offering many more questions and how nearly all cultures from all over the globe have such similar things during a time when getting from one place to another took days, weeks, months, etc. And yet how much the varied people of the world have in common at the roots of their own cultures background.Also - this book was written about four decades ago and much has been learned since. Even more striking to me personally is how much has NOT been answered or determined in that same period of time. Is it because we as the race of humans cannot figure it out, or are their other forces making sure we do not learn truths that are not the generally accepted "truths". I was raised Catholic and in my lifetime I've learned personally just how much the church as an entity does NOT want people to know anything other than what a collected group of plain old human beings decided is what we SHOULD ONLY KNOW & TOLD TO BE THE ONLY TRUTH centuries after the Gospels and Bible were written by other humans who were there for the new Testament and some bits or the old Testament and to question is tantamount to blasphemy. Why should ANYTHING that was written by those who were writing about their personal experience in the time of Christ be edited, revised, or even omitted? Since this IS TRUE, how much else do the powers in control of the people of this planet not want us to know?

Makes for an interesting perspective
What did you love best about Chariots of the Gods?
The story is engaging and many a facts presented will make you yearn to corroborate from other sources. Much of the info is dated and the fantastical conjectures are not very believable every time. However it is the enthusiasm of the author and well translated by the reader which makes things interesting and not to mention that the authors thesis may be true to some extent as many of the Herculean feats betrays a higher intelligence in play. The amazing mathematics of the Giza pyramids and Mayan astronomical finesse cannot be attributed to tribe intelligence, if so where has this intelligence disappeared, as no doubt with all the modern scientific capabilities much of these architectures cannot be replicated.
What other book might you compare Chariots of the Gods to and why?
To all the readers who might be interested, I will gladly suggest books by c.k.quartermain and Dr Patric Heron (few of ken johnson's) esp those related to aliens, ufo and nephilim etc which presents a similar case with a dramatically different flavour and replete with scriptural - historical cross-references. If you like chariots of god you will not fail to appreciate the solid thesis of these authors. Works of these authors are also available in audible.
Any additional comments?
This book is a pioneer work and should be read by all who get a nagging feeling about the incongruencies in ancient history. But beware the stuff in the book are mostly opinions and in the current times much more scientific & archaeological clarity is available freely on the Internet.

Revolutionary at the time but feeling a bit dated
Would you try another book from Erich von Daniken and/or William Dufris?
No I don't think so. I learned of him through Graham Hancock's books and also through Coast to Coast AM on the radio at night.
Would you recommend Chariots of the Gods to your friends? Why or why not?
No I don't think so. Too many of his conclusions have been questioned and overturned about specific items of proof in archaeology for his claims of ET contact in the past. Von Daniken was a visionary in his time but too many problems with him including convictions for fraud and some prison time.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes narration was fine
Did Chariots of the Gods inspire you to do anything?
NO. Other than read some more modern books on this subject.

good listen
Erich Von Daniken like or loathe him is enthusiastic and believes what he is saying. The audiobook is easy to listen to and an example of just let the topic draw the listener in and let all the other theatrical ploys be very minimal. William Dufris injects Mr. Von Daniken's enthusiasm into the read and even when I didn't agree with everything I went away feeling.... like I listened to a motivational tape. The future seemed exciting! As with any review on topics like this it comes down to sticking to one topic long enough to get all of the information,theory and evidence out. Mr. Von Daniken doesn't do that but the foreword does "clean up" a lot of the past arguments and greatly adds to the book. Great read.

Great Stuff!
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for von Daniken and his books.
I read this book originally when I was very young. I thought it was interesting and inventive and lead me to read the rest of his books as he's written them. It also lead me to sample other books of alternative history, all of which has given me a better perspective of the world.
I don't think you have to agree with his conclusions to like the book, but it should help you learn how one individual began to ask questions of the world around him when the answers he was receiving weren't personally satisfying.

Extremely Thought-provoking
Author did a magnificent job of using extensive research to suggest plausible theories of visits by ancient alien space travelers, tying in legends and history from many different cultures around the globe. Some of his theories really hit home for me, suggesting explanations of events and circumstances that make much more sense than current poplular beliefs. This book was written many years ago, yet is still timely, and I'm only sorry that I took so long to discover it.
The narrator did a wonderful job of giving just the right inflection in his voice, inviting the reader to think.

very informative, informarion you need to know!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, it has information that people need to hear. Not enough people get a broad view of the world. Von Daniken does a good job of taking history of many cultures and gives us a new way to fit history together.
What other book might you compare Chariots of the Gods to and why?
It reads like fiction until you fact check his work.
What does William Dufris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He brings the readers into the story and does a good job of making you feel part of the story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It took me only two sittings to finish the book. If I could have listened to it in one day I would have.
