The gold of the gods.

by Erich von Däniken

Von Daniken gives new evidence to bolster his theory of a prehistoric earthly "era of the gods." He explores the inexplicable artifacts of bygone ages such as caves and tunnels in Ecuador filled with gold to ancient ruins composed of blocks impossible to transport without advanced technology. He ultimately suggests an intergalactic "battle of the gods" whose losers retreated to, and settled, our earth.
