The multi‐million‐copy bestselling author of Chariots of the Gods, Erich von Däniken is headed to the top of the book lists again with his new title, Odyssey of the Gods: The History of Extraterrestrial Contact in Ancient Greece. Von Däniken’s game‐changing Chariots of the Gods rocked traditional beliefs about ancient history. Now, he tackles the history of Greece again with a new viewpoint using painstaking archaeological research and evidence from the writings of Plato and Aristotle. He suggests that Greek myths were, in fact, very much a reality, and that the Greek gods were extraterrestrial beings that arrived on Earth thousands of years ago
