Book Description
The author of the 7-million-copy bestseller Chariots of the Gods? reveals startling new evidence of extraterrestrial contact with Earth. From undiscovered passageways to the world's first robot to ancient flying ships, this amazing evidence will add new spark to the old debate and fascinate a new generation with von Daniken's explosive theories.
About the Author
Erich von Daniken's first book, Chariots of the Gods, became a worldwide bestseller following its publication in 1968 and has been translated into thirty-two languages. It has since been followed by over two dozen additional books, including The Eyes of the Sphinx, Odyssey of the Gods, and The Gods Were Astronauts. Born and educated in Switzerland, Erich is an active researcher and explorer. His books have given rise to two full-length documentary films, Chariots of the Gods and Messages of the Gods, and he has delivered over 3,000 lectures in twenty-five countries. He lives in Beatenberg, Switzerland, with his wife. Danny Campbell's regional acting credits include the Actors Theatre of Louisville, the Utah Shakespearean Festival, the Vermont Stage, Stage West, the Mint Theatre in New York City, and six years with the Independent Shakespeare Company in Los Angeles. His favorite roles include Falstaff, Bottom, Launce, and the Porter. He has appeared in CBS's The Guardian, the recent films A Pool, a Fool, and a Duel and Greater Than Gravity, and over twenty-five commercials. Danny is also a member of the adjunct faculty in the theatre arts department at Santa Monica College. He has recently narrated the audiobook Once a Spy by Keith Thomson, and he read the part of David Foster Wallace in Mike Lipsky's Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself.

Barely about aliens,
By "icameasarat" (Ilion, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyes Of The Sphinx (Paperback)
It isn't until the 3rd chapter which is 115 pages into the book that any hint of aliens is eve mentioned. And when they are, its brief and pretty much info restated from Chariots of the Gods. There's more talk of aliens on the back cover than throughout the book. Most of the book talks about Egypt history and about the pyramids, which is fine if you're interested in that stuff. but I'm not, I wanted to see all the new evidence of aliens like the cover says but it didn't happen.As for his credibility: I don't care. I wanted to merely be entertained by this and instead of was boring. There's one really interesting thing about the special powers that any pyrmid shape can have and the results of experiments used with these. If you wanna know about the pyramids shafts and Egypt history, then get this book. If you wanna know about aliens building the pyramids like this book says it will explain, don't get this book. What a waste of time and money.

Misleading Pseudoscience,
By Clara Lee (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyes Of The Sphinx (Paperback)
This book is completely misleading. I had to read it for a class on myths in Archaeology, where we discussed the factual basis for aliens in ancient Egypt and other claims. However, Von Daniken has no factual basis for this book. He twists the truth, misquotes other authors, leaves out pertinent evidence, and outright lies to his readers, all because he thinks that ancient extraterrestrials visited the earth. His "research" is solely based on what he wants to believe, not facts. Don't waste your money.

A Daniken fan will like this book,
By "titan2160" (Bolingbrook, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyes Of The Sphinx (Paperback)
A big part of the book is mostly Egyption history. He talks about the dating of the pyrimids was a fraud, which is very interesting. He gets into the Enoch subject for a while and much more. A Daniken fan will love this book
