In the sixteenth century, Spanish conquerors came to the New World in search of El Dorado, the fabled city of gold. Rather, they experienced inexplicable phenomena which have puzzled scholars and historians ever since: substantial stone edifices constructed in the Earth’s most inaccessible areas . great monuments forged with difficult skill and unknown tools . . . intricate carvings describing occasions and places half a world away.

Who have been the bearded ‘gods from the golden wand’ who had brought civilization towards the Americas millennia before Columbus? Who had been the giants whose sculpted stone minds in Mesoamerica still mystify to this day?

With this remarkably researched fourth level of THE PLANET EARTH Chronicles, author and explorer Zecharia Sitchin uncovers the long-hidden secrets from the lost ” NEW WORLD ” civilizations from the Olmecs, Aztecs, Mayas and Incas, and links the conquistadors’ search for Un Dorado to the extraterrestrials who searched there for silver long before.
