Publisher's Summary
When Chariots of the Gods was published 50 years ago, it began a worldwide change in humanity's view of the cosmos. In an era of the military space race, Erich von Daniken boldly proclaimed that Earth had been visited by more advanced beings early in our history. But prescientific man had no concept of spaceships, so he called their vehicles "chariots", and those driving the chariots became "gods".
Over the next five decades, von Daniken's 32 books built an ever-stronger case for Earth being visited by extraterrestrial visitors. And Chariots became an international best seller, with 30 million copies sold in more than two dozen languages. Also during that time, the case for ET visitations millennia ago was being reexamined by contemporary UFO researchers, who found evidence of modern visitations. And von Daniken expanded his perspective to encompass the present.
Now he presents his long-awaited sequel to Chariots of the Gods, proclaiming that the gods never left us, with all-new material to show that ancient aliens are still with us.
The Gods Never Left Us contends that recent advancements in biotechnology, astrophysics, engineering, and artificial intelligence not only give us a fresh perspective on his ancient astronaut theory but actually validates it. We are - as a race - embarking on the exact same trajectory of our own interplanetary colonization, just as von Daniken suggested Earth itself was colonized.
ETs are definitely at work today. And that affects all of us.

Not for closed minded
This hypothesis is very interesting and been following this train of thought for decades now but kinda like simulation theory both very plausible and also improbable, but super fun for us Star Wars and Star Trek fans thanks for great insights, yours truly a Canadian always looking to sky.

Food for thought
A very interesting perspective of how we came to be supported by very well researched evidence. Some parts of the book go into very intricate details making the story a little dry, but overall a very good book.

Great point of view
I really enjoyed the eye opening nature of this book. It makes your see things in an alternate light and does so in a way that is easy to follow. Well done

Interesting premise
Interesting theory but not convincing. He assumes reader believes in extraterrestrial beings snd the is no alternative explanation of his facts.

Scattershot Contentions
By the time Erich von Däniken gets around to arguing *for* a theory of the origins of humanity, he's become disorganized (apparently overwhelmed by the volume of data). The majority of his evidence for an extraterrestrial source is based on traditional myths from around the planet (Greek, Polynesian, Hebraic, etc.) and is presented as a conglomeration - as though he is trying to prove his point by throwing as big a pile of unconnected evidence as he can gather. Don't get me wrong, the legends are well-compiled and described nicely.. but they're poorly connected and the 'plethora dump' debate technique doesn't impress me (von Däniken could have formed them into a cogent thesis).
Adding to my "Meh" assessment of the book is the author's establishing "Biology-is-Wrong, Physics-is-Wrong, Chemistry-is-Wrong, Mathematics-is-Wrong, Geology-is-Wrong" attempt in the first half of the book to encourage readers to set aside preconceptions. That message is backed up with examples of essentially random conflicting findings that "prove" Science's folly.
(Note: I personally agree that claiming that we "know" our universe reveals incredible hubris.. but the author's absolute denial of accumulated knowledge is baffling. A single finding that "doesn't fit" means that you reformulate the theory.. not abandon it.)
Blackstone Audio engineers do a creditable job supporting reader Sean Runnette, but his capable narration is unspectacular. Admittedly, his reading is more than adequate, but another professional reader could have provided similar quality.
If you're interested in the Annunaki/Panspermia theories of human history - and you can get this 5/10 star book as a 'Plus' selection - 'The Gods Never Left Us' is an acceptable thought-provoking distraction for a few hours. If you're asked for a Credit, however, you would be better served spending it on some Zecharia Sitchin or Chris Topaz.
