The Cult of Alien Gods: H.P. Lovecraft And Extraterrestial Pop Culture

Many Americans believe that so-called ancient astronauts (visitors from outer space) were responsible for historical wonders like the pyramids. This entertaining and informative book traces the origins of such beliefs to the work of horror writer H. P. Lovecraft (1890â€“1937). The author takes the reader through fifty years of pop culture and pseudoscience highlighting such influential figures and developments as Erich von DÃ¤niken (Chariots of the Gods), Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods), Zecharia Sitchin (Twelfth Planet), and the Raelian Revolution. The astounding and improbable connections among these various characters are revealed, along with the disturbing consequences of Lovecraftâ€™s "little joke" for modern science and public knowledge.
