Erich Von Daniken - The Gold Of The Gods

1 - The Gold Of The Gods
the Incas, whose culture, it is established, began around A.D. 1200. So
we must make a choice: either the Incas had received visitors from
Africa who drew elephants next to the pyramids for them or these gold
plaques are more than 14,000 years old (12,000 plus 2,000). The only
answer is either / or.
I think that the pyramids stamped in metal from Father Crespi's
treasure help to eliminate an academic error. Until now scholars have
asserted that both the pyramids in South America and the Mayan
pyramids in Central America originated without any connection with
the Egyptian pyramids. In Egypt the colossal structures were burial
places, in the other hemisphere simply grandiose edifices on the upper
platforms of which temples were built The gold plaques do not exhibit
a single flattened surface at the summit with a temple on it! They have
the same pyramidal shapes as those m Egypt. Who copied from
whom? Who were the first to build pyramids, the Incas or the
Egyptians? They cannot be posthumous forgeries. Firstly forgers
would have needed more gold than there is in Fort Knox, secondly,
they would have needed to employ a whole corps of artists with a
far-reaching knowledge of the ancient peoples and their cultures, and
thirdly it would have been necessary to continue making the grandiose
forgeries right through the Inca period, whenever that was.
I should like to know what tricks scholars will use to displace this
fabulous metal treasure of inestimable archaeological and historical
value, which is described here for the first time, from the period into
which it does not seem to fit. Could it be that all pyramids everywhere
in the world had the same master-builders?
Characters can often be made out on the illustrated objects from
Cuenca. Are they older than all previously known forms of writing?
Cuneiform writing in Phoenicia and hieroglyphics in Egypt are
supposed to have originated circa 2000 B.C. from a mixture of
Egyptian and Babylonian influences. Circa 1700 B.C. the pre-Israelite
