Summary
Erich von Däniken again shows his flair for revealing truths that his contemporaries have missed. After closely analyzing hundreds of ancient and apparently unrelated texts, he is now ready to proclaim that human history is nothing like the world religions claim---and he has the proof! In History Is Wrong, von Däniken takes a closer look at the fascinating Voynich manuscript, which has defied all attempts at decription since its discovery, and makes some intriguing revelations about the equally incredible book of Enoch.
Von Däniken also unearths the astounding story of a lost subterranean labyrinth in Ecuador said to be home to an extensive library of thousands of gold panels. He supplies evidence that the metal library has links not only to the Book of Enoch but also to the Mormons, who have spent decades searching for it, believing it to contain the history of their forefathers. And what about the mysterious lines in the desert of Nazca that resemble landing strips when viewed from the air? Archeologists claim they are ancient procession routes. "Think again!" cries von Däniken, as he reveals the data that the archeologists never even thought to check. History Is Wrong will challenge your intellect---and maybe a few long-held beliefs, too.

A sensationalised mixed bag
I am open to von Daniken’s ideas but really wish he wouldn’t present them as the one and only truth. Also, the main point of the book is lost amongst all the side comments. As for the narration, it adds a dramatic layer that really isn’t necessary.

Victory of the open mind
Even if someone would question details of the book, it is a pure pleasure to follow freedom and clarity of author thinking... Isn't this enough good reason to enjoy this book?...

It's not bad
Personally I prefer his actual theories to his angry rambling but interesting all the same.

interesting ideas strung together randomly
What disappointed you about History Is Wrong?
The narration is so quick you don't have any time to take in the proposed ideas. And much as I like Von Daniken books, he asks so much of the reader here while saying every other idea that asks something of the reader is just wrong. Sans explanation why his should be the only idea you think of. At the end of the day they're all theories, but he doesnt even attempt to justify why his is the correct one.
Has History Is Wrong put you off other books in this genre?
No
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of John Allen Nelson?
Erich Von Daniken
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Very interesting thought idea.
Any additional comments?
His other books are better.

Intriguing
If it was a book , l wouldn't put it down. When l first heard of EV Daniken l thought he was a nutcase!
But l decided to have an open mind.
Four books later and l have completely changed my mind.
I would recommend this and all other books of his. As a boy l saw the markings of Nasca and thought, airport! That memory is indelible
Glad l listened..

Superb story
Erich Von Däniken is a master storyteller.
He has his detractors, but do your research on his record and make up your own mind.
Myth peddler, fantasist or purveyor of uncomfortable, recondite facts? The truth will out.

Yet another great listen
Some people may struggle with the questionable yet practical thinking that Mr Daniken provokes you to. claiming the ties between religion are more frequent than originally believed. And as for the explanation to the book of Enoch, I mean WOW 👌 👏

A Very Good read.
I find Mr Von Danikens books are always a pleasure to read because he presents his evidence & his reasoning with warm enthusiasm & a twinkling humour but also with honesty & humility. A man for his time.
