Erich von Däniken is arguably the most widely read and most-copied nonfiction author in the world. He published his first (and best-known) book, Chariots of the Gods, in 1968. This worldwide bestseller was followed by forty more books, including the recent bestsellers The Gods Never Left Us, Evolution Is Wrong, Confessions of an Egyptologist, Eyewitness to the Gods, Twilight of the Gods, History Is Wrong, Evidence of the Gods, Remnants of the Gods, and Odyssey of the Gods. His works have been translated into twenty-eight languages and have sold more than sixty-five million copies. Von Däniken's ideas have been the inspiration for a wide range of television series, including the History Channel's hit Ancient Aliens.
