"Air Chariots of the Gods" is a book by the Austrian writer Erich von Däniken, which was first published in 1968. In his work, the author examines and analyzes archaeological evidence, which, in his opinion, may indicate the possibility of the existence of highly developed civilizations on Earth long before the official dates. Däniken questions the assumption that ancient humans were technologically less advanced than we are today, and draws parallels between ancient myths and legends and possible contacts with the aforementioned otherworldly civilizations. Chariots of the Gods is a fascinating exploration that encourages readers to think outside the box and raises questions about our history and place in the universe.
