Just silly straw-grasping, but unfortunately the template for much subsequent television and internet fodder and pseudo-scientists. ( ) Thoroughly debunked by current science (and by using the term "current", I mean that the scientific method is to change the theory as evidence presents itself), but I loved it back in high school and I have to say that the idea is still fascinating. (Side note: I didn't realize that it was guilty of that peculiar Western culture superiority complex bias until reading a few of the reviews.) It's interesting to read Chariots now considering the immense influence it's gotten in the form of the very successful Ancient Aliens franchise. It was written in 1968 and it's extremely evident from the state of science fiction and actual science at that time. Däniken thinks men on Mars is a distinct possibility. He returns again and again to "looks like X to me" type reasoning such as how any ancient depiction of a figure with rays around its head must be wearing a helmet with an antenna. Because of course at this time you think of antennas in the form of rabbit ears for radio or TV, or the sci fi round helmet with the sproingy antenna on top. Or how other symbols seem like a battery to him. It's precisely in the dated futurism the method behind the madness becomes evident - and the method hasn't changed. Däniken and his acolytes just morph the looks like X to me arguments to be more in line with what sounds plausible today. Similarly with the arguments about men on Mars or starships needing people to scratch out landing paths in the dirt are quietly dropped in a God of the Gaps fashion as new science comes in and makes old arguments sound dumb. Especially interesting to note how closely this book lines up with Graham Hancock's alt-history, with many notable staples like the Piri Reis map and the exact same lines about how it "exactly" shows a snow free Antarctica. Hancock has borrowed liberally from Däniken's books but also scoffs and swears off the ancient astronauts as nonsense. There's some scale of plausibility where he's gone close enough to actual history to remain in good graces with people who would dismiss Däniken (even though if you listen deeper than his popular appearances you'll soon find such headscratchers as sonically levitated megaliths). Quando entendemos o contexto da escrita do livro, sem sermos anacronistas, nos transportamos para um tempo em que a associação era mais do que plausível. É importante que o leitor tenha isso em mente quando se deparar com a obviedade transmitida pelo autor de que sim, os Deuses poderiam ser astronautas.
Dit is de 37ste druk van een controversieel boek, dat vanaf de eerste publicatie in 1969 voor opschudding heeft gezorgd in wetenschappelijke kringen. De auteur gaat uit van de prikkelende hypothese dat de verering van goden binnen oude culturen in wezen kosmonauten betrof, afkomstig van andere universa. Ter onderbouwing van zijn suggestieve stellingen trekt hij alle registers open zonder deze ideeën te toetsen aan de weerbarstige wetenschappelijke werkelijkheid. Toch zet de schrijver aan tot reflectie van zijn vooronderstellingen want hoe staat het onder meer met de oude zeekaarten van Piri-Reis, de mythologie van de Soemeriërs en de Ark van het Verbond. Het is onwetenschappelijk hoe de schrijver te werk is gegaan, maar zijn onderzoek verdient ook nu nog aandacht vanuit wetenschappelijke hoek. Het geïllustreerde boek wordt afgesloten met een literatuuroverzicht en een register. Wordt gevolgd door 'De odyssee van de goden'*.
