Resumen del Editor

In this book, Erich von Däniken shares the story of his friend Adel H., an Egyptologist who, as a 16-year-old boy, was trapped for days under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Based on his conversations with Adel H., he retells the boy's search for a way out of the underground world, how the boy roamed passageways and chambers and saw what he calls "impossible" things of which the professional world is completely unaware. Adel experienced uncanny events, a mixture of spirit realm and reality, which is described here for the first time. "The story of Egypt," Adel says, "has two sides - the official one and the unknown one."

It is secrets like the sights and events Adel experiences underground that von Däniken refers to throughout this book. Von Däniken shows that the Great Pyramid of Giza is nothing but a huge library created for the people of the future. He proves his claim through quotes from the few ancient works that still survive. Who actually had an interest for millennia in destroying knowledge/books? It's not about a few thousand, but about millions of books. Von Däniken documents the fanatical destructive rage of the people and means: If we would only have 1/10,000th of the former writings, human prehistory would have to be completely rewritten.

Excellent and mostly correct

This is an interesting tale even if you don’t buy into it. Well researched and well written. I do believe him however, even if I feel he’s a little wide of the mark on some points - after all that’s how science is supposed to work, it’s rarely a revelation but rather a series of refinements. Excellent book.

Wow!!!

I loved it! Erich does it again he wows, surprises, educates, & makes you think

insightful

really enjoyed this book, provided very interesting and intelligent perspectives on important ancient topics. regardless if it's true or not, well worth the insight. highly recommend to scholars that entertain these topics. thank you Erich.

Outstanding

Great supplemental information! This really makes you think and believe and want to research the truth!

Book is Pseudo History or sScience

If you believe in fantasy you might like this book. At times, statements in this book are not true or misleading.

Erich is writing about anything and nothing

When a man writes chariots of the gods, then write this book, something must have gone wrong in the years between those 2 books. This book is entertaining but it stops right there.
