TY - SOUND N2 - When Chariots of the Gods was published 50 years ago, it began a worldwide change in humanity's view of the cosmos. In an era of the military space race, Erich von Daniken boldly proclaimed that Earth had been visited by more advanced beings early in it's history. But pre-scientific man had no concept of space ships, so he called their vehicles 'chariots', and those driving the chariots became 'gods'. The long-awaited sequel to Chariots of the Gods contends that recent advancements in biotechnology, astrophysics, engineering, and artificial intelligence not only give a fresh perspective on von Daniken's ancient astronaut theory but actually validates it.
