Publisher's summary

Were human beings created by powers from outer space? Did extraterrestrial giants build the megaliths of Malta and the menhirs of Brittany? Was the Ark of the Covenant a machine built by the astronaut gods?

In Signs of the Gods?, Erich von Daniken travels far and wide around the globe to study the many strange phenomena that all point to one conclusion - that many thousands of years ago, Earth was visited by a race of superhuman powers and intelligence. The questions he addresses along the way include:

  • Why are the religious sites in Greece all laid out in the same geometrical pattern - a pattern which is repeated throughout the world?
  • Does the extraordinary longevity of the ancient Sumerian kings mean that the Land of the Two Rivers was ruled by a race of supermen?
  • Could the first men have been produced by cloning?
  • Do the great ruins of Zimbabwe point to an impossibly detailed knowledge of astronomy?

Erich von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods provoked a worldwide storm of controversy. In Signs of the Gods? he produces powerful arguments to support his theory of astronaut gods, with evidence that is difficult to explain any other way. Hear what he has to say with an open mind - and you may find yourself agreeing with him.

Fascinating Continuation of Connecting the Dots...

Would you listen to Signs of the Gods? again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to Signs of the Gods again and in fact I already have. Very often I listen to books while driving and of course cannot take written notes.

What other book might you compare Signs of the Gods? to and why?

I would compare Signs of the Gods with Gold of the Gods because the data Erich von Daniken presents continues to build in tempo until the dots paint a picture that is undeniable.

Which character ??? as performed by Peter Berkrot ??? was your favorite?

Although I didn't have a favorite character, I thought the performance was just fine.

If you could give Signs of the Gods? a new subtitle, what would it be?

I wouldn't give it a new subtitle.

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoyed Signs of the Gods and would recommend it to anyone wanting to explore changing the current paradigm.

I think it's time.

I think it's time. Time for all people in the world to open their eyes and open their minds. Including all religious leaders and followers to speak truthfully about our history. Also make public the secret books files and documents. I think we're old enough and smart enough and can accept anything as long as its the truth. This was only my 4th audiobook so far and my third that was written by Erich von Daniken. Over the last several years I've I watched many shows on UFOs and Stonehedge and the pyramids and Erich von Daniken is in most of them and because of the way he asked the questions and shows the evidence is the only reason that I've read or listen to any of his books. The narration was good and the contents of the book was presented well. I think we need to keep praying to our Creator and giving thanks for all the blessings we humans have received. Doesn't it make Jesus a hybrid, because his mother was human and his father was a God ........or Alien? Who cares ........we were made by divine entity. I'm just happy to be here and be part of the plan. Whatever my purpose in this life is. Amen

his logical reason for his book and proof of the people that are trying to disprove the obvious

Some times the lists of things are so long and takes a while to go through all the name.

Another home run

I have read many of Mr. Von Daniken's books. He now has close to 40 that have been published. Although his books are touching on the same subject they are all different and very entertaining in my opinion. He does boots on the ground research and comes up with undeniable evidence of his theories. I would definitely recommend all of his books.

Wonderful book

This book kept me entertained, all the way through. Very interesting, indeed. I would highly reccommend this book to others. Especially if you already know of his work.
