Erich von Daniken has exhaustively researched and analyzed the great world religions, their myths and belief structures, in an effort to find an answer to a question that has fascinated humans for millennia: who, or what, were the Gods described in ancient stories? His extraordinary conclusion? The Gods were not metaphysical beings born of humanity's overactive imagination, but extraterrestrials who left traces of their presence everywhere on Earth. The book includes:

  • The suggestion, based on a thorough examination of ancient texts, that alien beings employed high-tech vehicles in epic aerial battles
  • Compelling evidence that the Gods used awesome weapons of mass annihilation, both against themselves and humankind
  • A radical new interpretation of evolution on Earth that contradicts both established religions and modern science

    What did you love best about The Gods Were Astronauts?

    This book answered so many questions about religion that we've had for years. It is logical and makes sense.

    Have you listened to any of Kevin Foley’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    This was our first book with Kevin Foley and we thought his voice a little bland. At first, my husband thought it was a computer voice- expressionless.

    Any additional comments?

    We take a long drive to work every day and this was our first Audio Book....how fun, and the time and miles flew by!!!

    Now this makes Sense!

    The book is good the audio is debatable.The quality of the mike quality and the sound it produces seem to capture all the pronouciation of ‘S’ so painful on the ears...

    Mike quality is not food

    This is a great place to start your own research. Have a question about what the author said? Look it up in the original source material, he provides the passages that he's referencing. Erich covers many religions and historical texts. I really enjoyed this audio book.

    Many great questions asked and resources quoted

    Great reading. The author asks all the right questions. And with his knowledge surmises the best hypothesis per his knowledge. Always enjoy Mr. von Däniken's work

    Amazing, detailed research. I will listen to this again to absorb as much as possible.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Gods Were Astronauts to be better than the print version?

    I haven't read the print version but the audio version was excellent.

    What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

    The most compelling aspect of this book is the basic questioning of the history we have all been taught. Upon closer scrutiny we realise that our version of history is nothing more than a collection of nonsense from arrogant egotistical megalomaniacs.

    Which character – as performed by Kevin Foley – was your favorite?

    There were no characters as this is a non-fictional work. The narrator simply read Erich's words.

    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    No particular moment as the entire book was one astounding revelation after another.

    Any additional comments?

    It is such a pity that the world has been stuck an induced coma of religious dogma and myopia, for the better part of two thousand years. We have limited our own progress as a species - we
