Bestselling author Erich von Däniken delves into the mysteries of the
Mayan civilization and when the extraterrestrial will return. Includes a
Foreword by Giorgio Tsoukalos.
High up in the Bolivian Andes-4,000 meters above sea level-lies Puma
punku, an ancient ruined city that simply could never have been
constructed by its Stone Age inhabitants. "Something here really stinks
to high heaven," writes Erich von Daniken.
"In Twilight of the Gods," says von Daniken, "I document precisely
what it was that left the first visitors breathless as they stood before
the mighty stone blocks some 400 years ago. I will show you what
archeologists discovered hundreds of years ago and demonstrate how much
has been destroyed over the centuries. Intentionally.
"I will also prove that Puma punku was not built by any Stone Age
people.
"And in December 2012, the gods will return from their long journey and
appear again here on Earth. At least that is what the Mayan calendar
would have us believe.
"The so-called gods--the extraterrestrials--will come again. We're
headed for a 'god shock' of major proportions.
"But doesn't anyone with half a brain know that interstellar travel is
simply impossible because of the sheer distances involved? And that
extraterrestrials would never look like us?
"Well, dear readers, I destroy these preconceptions. Systematically. One
bit at a time."
In his own inimitable way, Erich von Daniken picks these preconceptions
and prejudices apart with a clarity no other author could manage.
