«Der Tag, an dem die Götter kamen» is the essay by Erich von Däniken published by Goldmann in paperback (319 pages, in German).
Erich von Däniken returns to his thesis that extraterrestrial beings visited Earth in antiquity and were venerated as gods. In an accessible style, he surveys monuments, myths and archaeological artefacts, paying particular attention to the Maya culture and the date 11 August 3114 BC, and argues that conventional history should be revised.
The subtitle on the cover is «11. August 3114 v. Chr.». The work originally appeared in 1984; this edition is from 1990.
For readers interested in palaeoastronautics, heterodox archaeology and theories about extraterrestrial visits in antiquity.
Erich Anton Paul von Däniken was a Swiss author of several pseudoscientific books which made claims about extraterrestrial influences on early human culture, including the best-selling Chariots of the Gods?, published in 1968. Däniken was one of the main figures responsible for popularizing the "paleo-contact" and ancient astronauts hypotheses.
