In an era of the military space race, Erich von Däniken 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the next five decades, von Däniken's 32 books built an ever-stronger case for Earth being visited by extraterrestrial visitors. \u003cem\u003eChariots of the Gods\u003c\/em\u003e became an international best seller, with 30 million copies sold in more than two dozen languages. During that time, the case for ET visitations millennia ago was reexamined by contemporary UFO researchers, who found evidence of modern visitations, expanding von Däniken's perspective to encompass the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow, he presents his long-awaited sequel to \u003cem\u003eChariots of the Gods\u003c\/em\u003e, proclaiming that the gods never left us with all-new material to show that ancient aliens are still with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Gods Never Left Us\u003c\/em\u003e 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 validate it. We are—as a race—embarking on the exact same trajectory of our own interplanetary colonisation, just as von Däniken suggested Earth itself was colonised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47599448064236,"sku":"9781632651198","price":49.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781632651198-the-gods-never-left-us.jpg?v=1777979227","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-gods-never-left-us-by-erich-von-daniken-9781632651198","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
