von

holy
writings
and

archaeological
puzzles.

a

he
began
writing

Erich Von Daniken's Biography At A
Glance
Erich
Von
Daniken
grew
up
in
a
family
who
followed
strong
catholic
rules.
As
a
young
child,
Erich
was
a
free-minded
spirit,
and
a
rebel
at
heart.
Erich’s
father
felt
that
his
son
would
require
strong
education
and
discipline
in
life
by
enrolling
him
to
Jesuits
boarding
school
in
Fribourg,
Switzer-
land.At
this
boarding
school
Erich
studied
Latin
&
Greek,
whilst
translating
old
religious
texts.
Already
at
his
tender
age,
Erich
began
to
question
the
nature
of
god
and
religions.“What
these
texts
refer
to,
can
never
be
an
almighty
god
-
young
Erich
thought
to
himself.
This
Being
makes
mistakes
and
is
not
out
of
time!”
Erich
curiosity
to
know
if
other
cultures
around
the
world
share
similar
stories
or
belief
systems
sets
him
on
a
journey
which
in
later
years
became
the
most
compelling
revelations of our times.
EvD
remembers
very
well
about
his
time
as
Boy
Scout:
“There,
I
learned a lot for my entire life…”
…and on his research, he traveled around our globe several times…
Driven
by
a
strong
desire
to
know
more
than
conventional
scientific
books
can
offer,
Erich
delves
much
deeper
into
the
subject
–
and
so,
the
search
for
the
answers
about
the
mysterious
gods
of
the
world's cultures, began.
