This compendium of ancient mysteries and controversial knowledge is "an excellent briefing on the genre and its complexities" ( Fortean Times).Where did "modern" civilization begin? What lies beneath the waves? Do myths describe interstellar impact? How'd they lift that stone? Was the Ark of the Covenant a mechanical device? Were there survivors of an Atlantean catastrophe? Who really discovered the "New" World? "Hidden history" continues to fascinate an ev...

The Egyptologist acclaimed for re-dating the Great Sphinx at Giza sets his sights on one of the true mysteries of antiquity: the Great Pyramid of Giza.What is the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ask that basic question of a traditional Egyptologist, and you get the basic, traditional answer: a fancy tombstone for a self-important pharaoh of the Old Kingdom. This, Egyptologists argue, is the sole finding based on the data, and the only deduc...

Is it a mere coincidence that pyramids are found throughout our globe? Did cultures ranging across vast spaces in geography and time, such as the ancient Egyptians; early Bud-dhists; the Maya, Inca, Toltec, and Aztec civilizations of the Americas; the Celts of the British Isles; and even the Mississippi Indians of pre-Columbus Illinois, simply dream the same dreams and envision the same structures?Robert M. Schoch-one of the world's preeminent geologists in recasting the date of th...

Sobre la base de su teoría revolucionaria de que los orígenes de la Gran Esfinge de Egipto se remontan mucho más allá del 2500 a.C., el geólogo Robert Schoch analiza la evidencia científica de una civilización avanzada anterior al antiguo Egipto, Sumeria y Grecia, así como la catástrofe que destruyó la alta cultura temprana hace casi 12.000 años y lo que su legado puede enseñarnos sobre nuestro propio futuro.Combinando evidencias de múltiples disciplinas científicas, Schoch argumen...

"I suspect the real breakthroughs in our understanding of consciousness are going to come from an entirely different direction. That direction, controversially, has to do with psychedelics--which, as many of the contributors to The Divine Spark argue, offer spectacular potential for the investigation of the 'hard problem' of consciousness." --from the introduction by Graham HancockPsychedelics: Medicinal? Vital in interspecies communication or communion wi...

Kein anderes Denkmal der Welt verkörpert ein solches Geheimnis wie die Große Sphinx von Gizeh. Sie hat das raue Klima Ägyptens über Tausende von Jahren überlebt und wird noch lange nach dem Verschwinden unserer eigenen Zivilisation bestehen bleiben. Nach der orthodoxen Ägyptologie wurde die Sphinx um 2500 v. Chr. als Denkmal für den Pharao Khafre (Chephren) errichtet. Doch für diese "Tatsache" gibt es kaum Beweise. Wann wurde die Sphinx wirklich gebaut und vor allem warum? In dieser provok...
