The Books by Erich von Daniken

My quest in the 'search for truth' began with reading Erich von Daniken's books, many moons ago. Von Daniken's books were revolutionary in their ideas and analysis of what 'he' saw as the 'truth' about our origins and the seeds for human life. Though controversial in his claims about the extraterrestrial origins of human life, his works are largely not recognized by the scientific and archaeological communities. This common theme continues along his many books about the ancient alien travelers and their interactions with the humans. Each book present a new facet and a case in point for reading, analyzing and debating. His first book - Chariots of the Gods, published in 1968 won him instant acclaim across the world.

Von Daniken (Erich Anton Paul Von Daniken), a Swiss national, born on 14th April, 1935 had gone on to publish a total of 26 books and translated into more than 20 languages selling more than 60 million copies worldwide. Reviewed below are a few of his works, which are available from Amazon and ebay for purchase and download as ebooks.

PS: I have to add that my own views and learning's have evolved much over time and reflect on some of my writings. Please feel free to explore for the 'truth' at your own pace!

Erich von Daniken in the News

Prometheus – review
What it also does is return us to the world of Erich von Däniken's 1968 bestseller Chariots of the Gods, about humankind being bred on Earth aeons ago by spaceman-aliens. The crew of the spacecraft Prometheus are basically on a mission in 2094 to ...
Is Ridley Scott the most macho man in movies?
"All these things are considered mumbo-jumbo, but they were written about by Erich von Däniken in Chariots of the Gods [1968], and a lot of Erich's shit is now being reconsidered. Scientists are saying: now we know a lot more, we believe we're not the ...
Secrets of Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus': An Earthquake, Never-Seen Photos and ...
It only makes passing reference to its 1979 inspiration and pays heavy tribute to author Erich von Daniken's ideas in his 1968 book Chariots of the Gods? -- which argued that we are not alone and another sentient entity might have spawned us.
T. Boone Pickens Should Stop With the Oil Forecasting
Instead, he makes the logical leap that it can't be done, and prices must rise. This is reminiscent of Erich von Daniken, who, not comprehending how ancient Egyptians could build the pyramids, concluded that aliens must have been involved.

    Funny, I read Von Daniken as a 14 year old, and fascinated me about our past - and at the same time read Asimov who's stories frightened me about the future! Still don't really like the idea of robots - although we are surrounded by mini bots all the time nowadays.
    Great lens, thanks!
  • yano_jl Dec 15, 2011 @ 11:33 am | delete
    He's a brilliant writer, and an excellent speaker (in multiple languages). I see him on 'Ancient Aliens' from time-to-time.
  • aesta1 Dec 10, 2011 @ 10:08 am | delete
    Gods must be crazy...Daniken makes me think, something I refrain from doing sometimes.
  • crstnblue Dec 10, 2011 @ 1:08 am | delete
    Great lens in regard to Daniken's books.
    Was a great pleasure to find this lens and recall memories about first SF author read in my childhood, the one who managed thru his rows to develop in me a sort of "lateral thinking" : )
    Thanks for thinking of Erich von Daniken!

    I saw Chariots of The Gods in the theater when it came out.
    Yes I am that old...LOL
    It's odd that Stargate revisited these theories years later.
    I wonder how many SG-1 fans have read these books?

    I don't think I have read any of Erich von Daniken's books, but they do sound thought provoking. As always, a creative presentation.

    I've heard of a few of these books, but never picked them up - I may take a look at them sometime, though. They sound most intriguing.
