review 1: To read Daniken's book, you have to be aware that Daniken not only believes in aliens but propounds that aliens created humans. I have read many of Daniken's books and have always found him to be fascinating.Yet, this book wasn't one of my favorites. I felt the title mostly capitalized on the upcoming Mayan prophecy without really fully explaining it. I wanted a clear explanation for December 23, 2012 but felt this book didn't do any better of a job than any of the documentaries or articles I've already read. Could that be because it's all a bunch of bunk? Probably. But, fun bunk.The author does make a very clear and believable argument that Mayan culture was so technologically and culturally advanced that some other ancient alien culture must have been involved. On... moree thing I really like about Daniken as a researcher is that he actually goes into the field to examine the evidence and doesn't just rely on others' works and hearsay. This book also provides photographic evidence so the reader can 'see' for him or herself.It is a really fast, really fun read and a good introduction to Daniken and his theories.
review 2: I think I would have enjoyed this more if I hadn't watched all of the Ancient Aliens episodes on History ChannelI found the discussion of the dating of the MAyan Calendar very interesting and informative... it explains why the identified date of 12-21 (or 23) -2012 may NOT be the correct date... the date is based on interpretations and assumptions.I think Von Daniken makes very good points about the much older age of the earth - and it's people - than mainstream science does. It seems very plausible that there have been civilizations that were destroyed through earth's ancient past cataclysms - civilizations that have been lost to us.Puma Punku is one set of remains that is not explained by our mainstream science - the technology required would have taken technology that mainstream science does not attribute to the stone-age peoples of that time.Were there extraterrestrials who cane to earth and assisted the people who were here many, many years ago? I believe there were. I believe we are rather limited in our thinking to believe that our time and civilization, our planet, is all there is ... we try to put limits on things that are infinite less
