2nd book by author Erich Von Daniken
Is mans compulsion to reach, observe, and wish upon the stars a memory of our origins? Do we all yearn to return there? Are all the unexplained relics and artifacts remnants from that past? Is there a missing link because the "aliens/gods" engineered us in their image? Did they give us intelligence? Civilization? written language?
I think yes!

1970s mysticism - the same author who wrote "Chariot of the Gods?" that was made into a movie.
"Many people have scoffed at the idea of beings from another universe visiting Earth. But in 1970 we witnessed the drama of a crippled American spacecraft being brought back to Earth. Suppose it had landed on another planet? What would our astronauts teach the inhabitants? What remnants of their efforts to return to Earth would be left behind? How would that planet's inhabitants remember our men in myth and art? The answers we would give fit exactly the vast number of unexplained mysteries that have been found around the world."

In this follow up to Chariots of the Gods Daniken looks for evidence of aliens' past visits to earth by examining archaeology. Many cultures from the past show rays projecting from the heads of the people they portray. Large carved rocks are hard to explain. Using technology of the time they would have been very tedious to erect.
Throughout the book Daniken asks, "How could they do this without help from aliens?" or "Is this a carving of an alien?"
