About this audiobook

Legendary UFO expert Erich von Daniken stirs up another controversy with an imaginative supposition: What if the myths of ancient Greece were attempts to describe events that really happened? What if ancient peoples were visited, not by imaginary gods and goddesses, but by extraterrestrial beings who arrived on earth thousands of years ago? The author's research into both ancient mythology and current archaeological discoveries leads him to some explosive hypotheses. He suggests that the best explanation of such creatures as centaurs and Cyclops, as well as stories about the lost continent of Atlantis and wars among the deities, may be efforts by artists of the times to record never-before-seen phenomena. Dozens of ancient sculptures and temple decorations, von Daniken points out, look surprisingly similar to equipment used by today's astronauts. Could these be long-lost secrets, being rediscovered by scientists today?

    SamenvattingZijn buitenaardse beschavingen iets van de toekomst of van het verleden?Van de bestsellerauteur van Waren de goden kosmonautenIn dit boek wordt de oude Griekse geschiedenis in een volkomen nieuw perspectief gesteld: de oude mythen zijn in feite een weergave van echte gebeurtenissen. De hoofdrolspelers (goden) buitenaardse wezens die duizenden jaren geleden de aarde bezochten. Archeologische vondsten en de geschriften van Plato en Aristoteles ondersteunen zijn theorie. Von Dänikens bestseller Waren de goden kosmonauten had het denken over mythologie, geschiedenis en buitenaardse beschavingen totaal op zijn kop gezet. Zijn nieuwe boek zal dit opnieuw doen.
