Myths are not considered the product of human imagination. It involves the hypothesis that the technologies and religions of many ancient civilizations were given to them by ancient astronauts who were welcomed as gods. He is also a convicted felon, having spent time in prison on several counts of fraud and other financial crimes.Įrinnerungen an die Zukunft = Chariots of The Gods, Erich von DänikenĬhariots of the Gods, is a book authored in 1968 by Erich von Däniken. Von Däniken is a member of the Swiss writers association, the German writers association, and the International PEN-Club. This enables him to closely examine the phenomena about which he writes. Fluent in four languages, Erich von Däniken is an avid researcher and a compulsive traveller, averaging 100'000 miles each year to remote spots of the Earth. Of the more than 3,000 lectures which Erich von Däniken has given in 25 countries, over 500 were presented at universities.

From his books two full-length documentary films have been produced: Chariots of the Gods and Messages of the Gods. Von Däniken's books have been translated into 28 languages, and have sold 60 million copies worldwide. While managing director of a Swiss hotel, he wrote his first book, Chariots of the Gods, which was an immediate bestseller in the United States, Germany, and later in 38 other countries. In prefata noua a cartii, Erich von Daniken analizeaza reactiile pro si contra starnite de tezele sale, pe care le reexamineaza in contextul cunostintelor recent dobandire.īorn on April 14th, 1935, in Zofingen, Switzerland, Erich von Däniken was educated at the College St-Michel in Fribourg, where already as a student he occupied his time with the study of the ancient holy writings. Din acest motiv, am considerat oportuna reeditarea in limba romana, intr-o traducere noua si necenzurata, a cartii sale de debut, care nu a pierdut nimic din caracterul exploziv, incitant si senzational, atat in privinta limbajului, cat si a continutului.

Numarul adeptilor sai creste de la an la an. In decurs de doi ani, cartea a atins numai in Germania un tiraj de peste cinci sute de mii de exemplare.Ĭercetarile si descoperirile lui Erich von Daniken nasc si astazi discutii aprinse. Totusi, succesul enorm al cartii sale a demonstrat ca subiectul abordat este unul de mare interes. Chiar daca si-a argumentat teza prin cercetari intreprinse cu rigurozitate in lumea intreaga, ea a ramas destul de controversata. Erich von Daniken a sustinut ca Pamantul a fost vizitat in timpuri stravechi de catre fiinte inteligente extraterestre, si ca acestea au creat de fapt homo sapiens.
