| Summary/Abstract |
This book offers the definitive proof that Earth has been visited repeatedly by advanced aliens from other worlds. The author examines ancient ruins, lost cities, spaceports, and a myriad of hard scientific facts that point to extraterrestrial intervention in human history. Most incredible of all, however, is the author's theory that we ourselves are the descendants of these galactic pioneers - and the archaeological finds that prove it.
