It isn't until the 3rd chapter which is 115 pages into the book that any hint of aliens is eve mentioned. And when they are, its brief and pretty much info restated from Chariots of the Gods. There's more talk of aliens on the back cover than throughout the book. Most of the book talks about Egypt history and about the pyramids, which is fine if you're interested in that stuff. but I'm not, I wanted to see all the new evidence of aliens like the cover says but it didn't happen.
As for his credibility: I don't care. I wanted to merely be entertained by this and instead of was boring. There's one really interesting thing about the special powers that any pyrmid shape can have and the results of experiments used with these.
If you wanna know about the pyramids shafts and Egypt history, then get this book. If you wanna know about aliens building the pyramids like this book says it will explain, don't get this book. What a waste of time and money.

This book is completely misleading. I had to read it for a class on myths in Archaeology, where we discussed the factual basis for aliens in ancient Egypt and other claims. However, Von Daniken has no factual basis for this book. He twists the truth, misquotes other authors, leaves out pertinent evidence, and outright lies to his readers, all because he thinks that ancient extraterrestrials visited the earth. His "research" is solely based on what he wants to believe, not facts. Don't waste your money.

A big part of the book is mostly Egyption history. He talks about the dating of the pyrimids was a fraud, which is very interesting. He gets into the Enoch subject for a while and much more. A Daniken fan will love this book

I'm sorry to say that this book barely touches upon the extraterrestial question in egypt. It has alot of interesting facts and theories surrounding the pyramids but the mention of actual alien contact is only implied not directly discussed. Also I had hoped to read more on the Sphinx since it is in the title and on the cover but I was disappointed there too. The books ends not on any major point or idea but with the author attacking his collegues crying foul play. How much can I sell this book used again?

Von Daniken's books are great to discuss with othr people. You'll find that once you outline his theories for people that want to read the book themselves. At some point we all wonder about the missing link in mankind. He offers a plausable and well documented theory. This is controversial material but the way in which he puts forth facts and documentation will have you accepting this as a possibility. What is unexpected for a book of this magnitude is that it's also a very enjoyable book to read. You aren't bogged down in textbook like analysis. I found myself devouring this book and then searching out his other titles. But the real joy is being able to relate it to other people, its a real conversation starter.
