" It is embarrassing to admit having read this monumental bestseller, but I did after having heard about it all over the place. Among the very many books which attempt to substantiate the hypothesis that our distant ancestors had substantial contact with aliens from outer space, this is one of the worst. Charitably, von Daniken simply didn't do much homework. Less charitably, and as further suggested by his later work, he is a pathological liar. "
