Book Overview
Sifting through the historical and archaeological evidence, Ancient Gods: Lost Histories, Hidden Truths, and the Conspiracy of Silence by ordained minister Jim Willis probes the myths, stories, history, and facts of ancient civilizations, lost technologies, past catastrophes, archetypical astronauts, and bygone religions to tease out the truth of our distant past and modern existence. It takes and in-depth look at the facts, fictions, and controversies of our ancestors, origins, who we are as a people-and who might have come before us.
Ancient Gods: tackles more than 60 nagging stories of ancient gods, ancestors, alien visitors, theories and explanations, such as ... 40,000 years ago, why did our ancestors across Europe and Asia crawl deep underground-sometimes as much as a mile-to paint magnificent images on the walls of caves? How did the megalithic temple site called G bekli Tepe come to be built-11,600 years before the agricultural revolution and before humans learned how to grow their own food? How were massive stones, weighing up to four tons, dragged 140 miles across England to build Stonehenge? Who-and why-were pyramids built on the equatorial band circling the earth? What does modern DNA analysis tell us of mankind's heritage? Are we to believe the Ancient Alien Theory?
Along the way, Willis examines human history and searches for the sparks of contemporary society. It also includes a helpful bibliography and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness.
