Bestselling author Erich von D\xe4niken shares the story of a 16-year-old grave-diver who discovered a mysterious labyrinth of the old kings under one of the pyramids of Saqqara.

In this book, Erich von D\xe4niken shares the story of his friend Adel H., an Egyptologist, who, as a 16-year-old boy, was trapped for days under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Based on his conversations with Adel H., he retells the boy\u2019s search for a way out of the underground world, how the boy roamed passageways and chambers and saw what he calls \u201cimpossible\u201d things of which the professional world is completely unaware. Adel experienced uncanny events, a mixture of spirit realm and reality, which is described here for the first time. \u201cThe story of Egypt,\u201d Adel says, \u201chas two sides\u2014the official one and the unknown one.\u201d

It is secrets like the sights and events Adel experiences underground that von D\xe4niken refers to throughout this book. Von D\xe4niken shows that the Great Pyramid of Giza is nothing but a huge library created for the people of the future. He proves his claim through quotes from the few ancient works that still survive. Who actually had an interest for millennia in destroying knowledge/books? It\u2019s not about a few thousand, but about millions of books. Von D\xe4niken documents the fanatical destructive rage of the people and means: If we would only have one ten-thousandth of the former writings, human prehistory would have to be completely rewritten.

And where are the lost labyrinths? The one of Crete and the gigantic labyrinth of Egypt, of which all ancient historians reported?

Against the background of these revelations, von D\xe4niken turns the spot on to another focus of his book. A paradigm shift in the question of extraterrestrial life: \u201cThe gods have already come back. They came down again. They are currently orbiting our planet!\u201d
