Eric von Daniken, whose books have enthralled millions of readers around the world, presents astonishing confirmation for his revolutionary theories about the inexplicable artifacts of bygone ages.

THE GOLD OF THE GODS unveils new evidence of an intergalactic battle of the gods whose losers retreated to and settled Earth. He explores a vast, mysterious underworld of Ecuador - caves filled with gold and writings in solid gold that go back to the time of the Great Flood, bolstering von Daniken’s theory of a prehistoric earthly era of the gods. Von Daniken, also, takes us to the ancient ruins of Nan Madol in Micronesia (composed of basalt blocks impossible to transport without advanced technology) and explores other inexplicable artifacts of bygone ages. Von Daniken ultimately suggest an intergalactic battle of the gods whose losers retreated to and settled our earth.
