Forty years after the publication of Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods, Philip Coppens revisits the question of whether "ancient aliens" contributed to the birth of human civilization.

Analyzing the historical and archaeological evidence, Philip Coppens demonstrates that there is substantial proof that our ancestors were far more technologically advanced than currently accepted and that certain cultures interacted with nonhuman intelligences. Our ancestors were clearly not alone.

Are history books giving us the whole story? Or is civilization far more complex and for older than we have been taught?

Civilization goes back at least another 10,000 years, if we are willing to believe what our ancestors themselves claimed.
