A great book on the secrets of ancient civilizations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book explores the many secrets, speculations and sensations surrounding the various world civilisations. However, rather than being a New-Agey book that focuses on the esoteric "mystical traditions" this one is more concerned with facts, documents and archaeology. Only in the last few chapters does it spin off into lunacy but even then it's presented as only a theory.The book is very extensive, with 28 chapters, each one covering a different civilization meaning that most of the world's lost worlds are here. There's the traditional expositions on Egypt, the Mayas and Atlantis as well as lesser known places such as Zimbabwe and the Etruscans.Overall, an excellent introduction into the archaeology and mysteries of ancient and not so ancient worlds.
Excellent reading - Objectively links ancient cultures

This is undoubtably one of the best books that I have read on the origins (and demise) of ancient civilisations of the world. The book seeks to objectively link old world myths with archeological fact. Very well done. I am on here looking for similar books by the same author !
I found this book to be the most intriguin book I've read.
