The Ancient Alien Question: A New Inquiry Into the Existence, Evidence, and Influence of Ancient Visitors Description
"…an important and outstanding contribution."
--Erich von Daniken, best-selling author of Twilight of the Gods
"The Ancient Alien Question provides a captivating adventure around the world and sheds an interesting perspective on the Ancient Astronaut Theory. It raises questions that culminate in well-thought-out, and sometimes downright startling, conclusions. A must-read for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge horizon in this kick-ass field."
--Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, author, Gods or Ancient Aliens? producer, Ancient Aliens: The Series
"In The Ancient Alien Question Coppens breaks the intellectual sound barrier and offers his readers a well-researched and well-written book that challenges this last taboo of the human adventure. Definitely a not-to-be-missed book!"
--Robert Bauval, author of The Orion Mystery
"Philip Coppens covers all the bases on this controversial topic. His research is thorough and he addresses each topic with a balanced overview that cuts through the jungle of confusion with a very sharp machete of reason."
--David Hatcher Childress, author of Technology of the Gods
Have we been visited by extraterrestrial beings?
Did these "ancient aliens" contribute to the birth of human civilization?
Do our ancient monuments contain evidence of their presence?
The Ancient Alien Question reveals an array of astonishing truths, including:
A radically different understanding of the pyramids and how they were constructed
The origins of crystal skulls and how they were found
The extraordinary stories behind monuments such as the Nazca lines and Puma Punku, and who built them
How extraterrestrials came to our planet and the evidence that supports this
Analyzing the historical and archaeological evidence, Philip Coppens demonstrates that there is substantial proof that our ancestors were far more technologically advanced than currently accepted, and that certain cultures interacted with non-human intelligences. Our ancestors were clearly not alone.
Forty years after Erich von Däniken posed these questions in Chariots of the Gods, Coppens provides clear and concise answers to the great historical enigmas in a most accessible and readable format.

Philip Coppens' book is a fascinating and mind-boggling overview and critique of some of the more impressive "evidence" that suggests the impact and influence of ancient aliens on mankind's history. The author sagely doesn't buy into everything and anything involved in the debate and therefore doesn't offer his readers both baby and a tub of bathwater. Given such a fantastic premise to play with, many an author under the influence of P.T. Barnum runs with any premise - no matter how absurd or easily disproven - just so long as there is a profit to be had after their published "product" makes it to Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Philip Coppens is discerning and level-headed in his approach to mankind's mysteries. He pans the famous Nazca lines, discounting the popular conception that they are the markings for an ancient airport. He also downplays E.T. participation (at least of an active sort) in the actual construction of the Egyptian Giza complex. One might disagree with his conclusions - but in lending credence to the ordinary explanations first (where warranted) without a rushing recourse to the truly extraordinary, Mr. Coppens does his readership a vast service. He truly does a wonderful job of separating the wheat from the chaff. Carefully weighing the pros and cons, his prime argument and agenda are more aimed at one's keeping an open mind rather than providing definitive conclusions with regards to the central thesis of this book. An open mind is, afterall, a prime requirement in a Universe where growth and evolution seem to form the foundation of its major laws.
This book is, as I've said, an excellent introduction to learning more with regards to one of the profoundest mysteries in human history: are we alone in life's classroom - or are there teachers to guide us?
