About this listen

In this book, Erich von Däniken shares the story of his friend Adel H., an Egyptologist who, as a 16-year-old boy, was trapped for days under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Based on his conversations with Adel H., he retells the boy's search for a way out of the underground world, how the boy roamed passageways and chambers and saw what he calls "impossible" things of which the professional world is completely unaware. Adel experienced uncanny events, a mixture of spirit realm and reality, which is described here for the first time. "The story of Egypt," Adel says, "has two sides - the official one and the unknown one."

It is secrets like the sights and events Adel experiences underground that von Däniken refers to throughout this book. Von Däniken shows that the Great Pyramid of Giza is nothing but a huge library created for the people of the future. He proves his claim through quotes from the few ancient works that still survive. Who actually had an interest for millennia in destroying knowledge/books? It's not about a few thousand, but about millions of books. Von Däniken documents the fanatical destructive rage of the people and means: If we would only have 1/10,000th of the former writings, human prehistory would have to be completely rewritten.

This is an interesting tale even if you don’t buy into it. Well researched and well written. I do believe him however, even if I feel he’s a little wide of the mark on some points - after all that’s how science is supposed to work, it’s rarely a revelation but rather a series of refinements. Excellent book.

Excellent and mostly correct

The contents of this book are limitless in their ability to navigate multiple layers of human comprehension. I am amazed! New information is presented here that has now put many of my ponderings to rest while simultaneously creating more complex questions that yearn for home-based, heart-felt answers; similar to those found here. Enjoy!

Profoundly Transformative Potential Here

I love ancient alien history and megalithic history. It’s unfortunate that many of these places and their cultures have been lost forever due to the wars in these areas. I enjoy stories that come from these places. This was easy to follow.

When a man writes chariots of the gods, then write this book, something must have gone wrong in the years between those 2 books. This book is entertaining but it stops right there.
