Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; age tanned; single crease to spine; otherwise very minimal wear; The main thesis of Chariots of the Gods is that extraterrestrial beings influenced ancient technology. Von Däniken suggests that some ancient structures and artifacts appear to reflect more sophisticated technological knowledge than is known or presumed to have existed at the times they were manufactured. Von Däniken maintains that these artifacts were produced either by extraterrestrial visitors or by humans who learned the necessary knowledge from extraterrestrials. Seller Inventory # 009661
