About this audiobook
"In Twilight of the Gods," says von Daniken, "I document precisely what it was that left the first visitors breathless as they stood before the mighty stone blocks some 400 years ago. I will show you what archeologists discovered hundreds of years ago and demonstrate how much has been destroyed over the centuries. Intentionally.
"I will also prove that Puma punku was not built by any Stone Age people.
"And in December 2012, the gods will return from their long journey and appear again here on Earth. At least that is what the Mayan calendar would have us believe.
"The so-called gods-the extraterrestrials-will come again. We're headed for a 'god shock' of major proportions.
"But doesn't anyone with half a brain know that interstellar travel is simply impossible because of the sheer distances involved? And that extraterrestrials would never look like us?"
In his own inimitable way, Erich von Daniken picks these preconceptions and prejudices apart with a clarity no other author could manage.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5An interesting book. Really there is no way any of it can be backed up. Unless of course extraterrestrials finally reveal themselves. I take these books with a pinch of salt. I want to believe but I’m not going to be fooled into it or accept everything blindly.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5this book was a bit more thoroughly written than chariot of the gods. it's written as an academic text, yet it's still just as whiny as chariot of the gods. how many times is he going to write 'after all, i've written 25 books on the subject, so i know it's true'. srsly.
