Erich Von Daniken’s book — CHARIOTS OF THE GODS — was the start of the ever – popular ANCIENT ASTRONAUT THEORY — that the human race was actually created by ALIENS. We later learned that VON DANIKEN actually ripped off this idea from H.P. LOVECRAFT — like countless others. However — it is still a fun concept. HAPPY BIRTHDAY VON DANIKEN.
The same with me – I knew about this book before I heard of Lovecraft as well – there was also a documentary based on Chariots Of The Gods in the early 70s that was narrated by Rod Serling – this type of stuff was really popular in those days – Thanks for the comment.
Lovecraft had some great stories.

I actually liked the book, but I was a child when I read it, before I discovered Lovecraft.
