Books like Prophet der Vergangenheit by Erich von Däniken

Zecharia Sitchin's gripping exploration of ancient conflicts, revealing the Earth's violent origins on another world.

For ten years, Jeremy Narby explored the Amazonian rain forests, the libraries of Europe, and some of the world's most arcane scientific journals, following strange clues, unsuppressible intuitions, and extraordinary coincidences. He collected evidence and researched the seemingly impossible possibility that specific knowledge might somehow be transferred through DNA, the genetic information at the heart of every cell of every living thing, to a specially prepared consciousness. Narby demonstrates that indigenous and ancient peoples have known for millennia - and have even drawn - the double helix structure, something Western science discovered only in 1953. He also suggests that DNA and the life it codes for at the cellular level are "minded."

The breakthrough book that was immediately recognized as a work of monumental importance when it first introduced the theory that ancient earth had established contact with aliens. This world-famous bestseller endures as proof that Earth has been visited repeatedly by advanced aliens from other worlds. Erich von Däniken examines ancient ruins, lost cities, space-ports, and a myriad of hard scientific facts that point to extraterrestrial intervention in human history. Most incredible of all, however, is von Däniken's theory that we ourselves are descendants of these galactic pioneers--and the archeological finds that prove it: 1.Sophisticated batteries found in Bronze Age cities 2.An alien astronaut preserved in a pyramid 3.Thousand-year-old spaceflight navigation charts 4.Computer astronomy from Incan and Egyptian ruins 5. A map of the land beneath the ice cap of Antarctica 6. A giant spaceport discovered in the Andes
