Download or read book Europe s Lost Civilization written by Peter Marshall and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in some of the wildest and most beautiful places in Europe, the megaliths of the stone age prompt many questions: who built them and why? Do they throw light on our origins? What mysteries are encoded in their stones? Peter Marshall argues that the megaliths are the beguiling remnants of a highly advanced lost civilisation of Europe. He sails from Scotland via Ireland, Wales, England and France to the Mediterranean islands in a small boat, proving that ancient mariners made such long-distance journeys. He meets experts, enthusiasts and local characters, uses geology, archaeology, astronomy and engineering and includes myths, legends, stories and anecdotes to illustrate his theory. Europe's Lost Civilization is an exciting travel adventure and a compelling detective story, a fascinating physical, intellectual and spiritual quest into an ancient mystery.
Download or read book Hidden History written by Brian Haughton and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2007-01-15 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An archaeologist explores history’s most fascinating enigmas, from the ancient Druids to the mysteries of the Mayan calendar and the lost city of Atlantis. Across thousands of years of history, so-called lost civilizations still speak to us through their artifacts and architecture. In Hidden History, archaeologist Brian Haughton fills the gap between archaeology and alternative history using the latest available data and a common sense, open-minded approach. Divided into three sections, this expertly researched volume shares the secrets of Mysterious Places, Unexplained Artifacts, and Enigmatic People. Haughton introduces readers to the greatest mysteries of the ancient world, from the labyrinthine palace of Knossos on Crete to the pyramids of Egypt, the remote jungle temples of Peru, and the megalithic mystery of Stonehenge. But he also goes further to explore historical puzzles like the Coso Artifact, the possibility of ancient flight, and the Voynich Manuscript, as well as mysterious peoples from the Magi and the Druids to the Knights Templar and the Green Children. With more than 50 photographs and illustrations, this is the ideal reference work for those interested in the archaeology of these great enigmas.
Download or read book Glimpses of Vanished Civilizations written by Marion McMurrough Mulhall and published by TGS Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the origins of mankind through lost and vanished civilizations, including mysterious Atlantis. PREFACE. The present little book is devoted to an at- tempt to simplify the story of the early begin- nings of our world, and to trace the origin of the vanished civilizations, remains of which are now being brought to light every day by distinguished archaeologists. The treatment of such subjects in so small a compass may well deserve the name of " Glimpses," and only merits consideration from the fact that the author confesses to have annexed without qualm or compunction (but she hopes with care) the writings of learned men, and has tried to re-tell their discoveries in plain lan- guage suitable to her youthful readers. It can scarcely be said that there is anything in this book which has not appeared somewhere be- fore, in the vast literature of many lands which has grown up round so many distinguished scientists, some of whose books are so pro- found as to be outside the range of general readers. They have forgotten that youthful students have to walk before they attempt to run. This accomplishment in the paths of early history the author of this little book has endeavoured to teach, through the medium of others' profundity.

Download or read book Our Unknown Ancient Past written by Alexandros Angelis and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine the following scene: Eric Schliemann having to get the permission of scientists, telling them that, based on Homer's descriptions, he believes he can discover the mythical Troy. Besides laughing their hearts out, do you believe there would even be the slightest chance for Schliemann to have gotten their permission? And it is not just Troy nor just Knossos nor just the Mycenae, most major archaeological findings in the entire world, despite the references in the ancient texts, were a complete surprise for the scientific establishment. If that establishment had full control, all those discoveries would simply never have happened.The main purpose of this book is to present evidence supporting the theory of a relatively advanced civilization during prehistory, which was however lost due to some natural catastrophe. This is mainly attempted by presenting knowledge of the ancient people which they are not justified to have had and similarities between very distant cultures which should not have existed. How advanced was that civilization? I would say somewhat more advanced than that of Europe during the 18th century AC. Secondarily, but no less important, there are the following goals:*To reveal the huge danger our civilization faces from cosmic impacts and help realize how much more frequent natural catastrophes are than we think.*To shoot down the theories regarding Indo-Europeans & foreign invaders in the area of Greece, proving that the Greeks have preserved knowledge from events that happened in this area many thousand years before their time.*To show that mythology hides within itself big doses of historical truth as it describes real events, although often distorted by the human imagination. And this truth may be of great help to the work of science in the investigation of the unknown aspects of our past.*To trouble the reader on how much we really differ from men of past eras, even from other human species, contrary to the common belief that we are vastly "superior".*To arouse the reader's interest in the ancient mysteries which spread like a fog over the history of the human civilization.Science after all accepts that large-scale catastrophes often occur while man walked the earth, so is it really unlikely for the human civilization to have had a set-back at least once in the past? On the contrary I would say, it is probably the normal thing. In a smaller scale than the one proposed here, there have been many set-backs in the human civilization, like the domination of the Romans (when the Hellenistic Age collapsed), the collapse of the Romans themselves later on, the rise of Islam, and more.The funny part is that science accepts the Indo-European theory, meaning that there was an Indo-European / Arian race which started travelling around the world during prehistoric times spreading civilization, but left no single trace behind before mysteriously disappearing. But how far is the Indo-European theory from that of a lost civilization? Not much, as one difference is the time period and the other one is the geographical area (the present theory presupposes the crossing of the ocean). So how reasonable is it for one theory to be officially adopted by science and the other to be out of the question?We are used to rejecting anything opposed to the established views, but during the course of human history all the great pioneers did exactly that: challenged the status quo.

Download or read book Before Atlantis written by Frank Joseph and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-03-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive exploration of Earth’s ancient past, the evolution of humanity, the rise of civilization, and the effects of global catastrophes • Explores biological evidence for the aquatic ape theory and 20-million-year-old evidence of pre-human cultures from which we are not descended • Traces the genesis of modern human civilization to Indonesia and the Central Pacific 75,000 years ago after a near-extinction-level volcanic eruption • Examines the profound similarities of megaliths around the world, including Nabta Playa and Gobekli Tepe, to reveal the transoceanic civilization that built them all Exploring emerging and suppressed evidence from archaeology, anthropology, and biology, Frank Joseph challenges conventional theories of evolution, the age of humanity, the origins of civilization, and the purpose of megaliths around the world. He reveals 20-million-year-old quartzite tools discovered in the remains of extinct fauna in Argentina and other evidence of ancient pre-human cultures from which we are not descended. He traces the genesis of modern human civilization to Indonesia and the Central Pacific 75,000 years ago, launched by a catastrophic volcanic eruption that abruptly reduced humanity from two million to a few thousand individuals worldwide. Further investigating the evolutionary branches of humanity, he explores the mounting biological evidence supporting the aquatic ape theory--that our ancestors spent one or more evolutionary phases in water--and shows how these aquatic phases of humanity fall neatly into place within his revised timeline of ancient history. Examining the profound similarities of megaliths around the world, including Nabta Playa, Gobekli Tepe, Stonehenge, New Hampshire’s Mystery Hill, and the Japanese Oyu circles, the author explains how these precisely placed monuments of quartz were built specifically to produce altered states of consciousness, revealing the spiritual and technological sophistication of their Neolithic builders--a transoceanic civilization fractured by the cataclysmic effects of comets. Tying in his extensive research into Atlantis and Lemuria, Joseph provides a 20-million-year timeline of the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, both human and pre-human, the evolutionary stages of humanity, and the catastrophes and resulting climate changes that triggered them all--events that our relatively young civilization may soon experience.
