Theos-Talk Archives (October 2008 Message tt00940)

Frank,
 Nice to know, you are over there where you can access Von Danikens Ancient Astronaut Society and his playgrounds he built. Like you I also read many years ago a couple of his books. But I had problems with him misrepresenting some the of permanent features of the Nasca Lines and that lowered his credibility in my personal view.  His books were stimulating in a generalized way and made fun reading as beginner stock.
Regards,
John

Daniel cannot be regarded as having the monopoly here on Erich von Däniken,
since I, a theos-talk member since its beginning in 1997, have mentioned him
here and then.:-)

I read him since two decades and he was in fact the key person who brought
me in this incarnation to the gupta vidya, since he quoted The Secret
Doctrine which caused a flashback to me.

BTW, in one of the major German lexica, the "Bertelsmann Lexikon", EvD - as
he is called by his friends - he is labeled as "a theosophist" - although in
magazine articles of his co-workers HPB and theosophy is always downplayed.

In his latest book Falsch informiert! (Wrong informed!) EvD gives again
first hand knowledge abaout the Cheops conspiracy. As a member of the Pen
Club he also for the first time protests publicly against laws to silence
those authors who come to other conclusions about historical events than the
political correct party line allows.
