...In December 2012, the gods will return from a long journey and appear on Earth again. The Mayan calendar, its written and oral sources force us to believe in this... A “divine blow” of incredible proportions is coming. But doesn’t any more or less sane person know that intergalactic flights are simply impracticable and most likely will remain so due to the gigantic distances between celestial bodies? And that aliens cannot be like us? Well, my dear reader, I will destroy these prejudices. Consistently. Detail by detail. I hope you enjoy reading this book! Yours, Erich von Däniken.
