HOW MUCH DO WE REALLY KNOW?
Where was Camelot? What are the gigantic mathematical lines spotted from the air on the Nazca Desert in Peru? Has fabled Atlantis finally been located? Were the Egyptian pyramids really ancient astronomical observatories? Was the dividing of the Sea of Passage part of a cosmic catastrophe which struck the whole earth?
Shrouded in mystery and obscured by legend, man's prehistory is still largely an enigma. Each year new archaeological and scientific discoveries change our view of the past. Rupert Furneaux's ANCIENT MYSTERIES is a fascinating attempt, based on these discoveries, to unravel the truth. He has traveled all over the world, sifting all the available evidence in order to form his own intriguing conclusions about the secrets of our vanished civilizations.
From the dust jacket:
How much do we really know about the ancient mysteries of time arid space? Shrouded in mystery and obscured by legend, man's prehistory is still largely an enigma. Each year new archaeological and scientific discoveries change our view of the past and raise new questions:
• Has fabled Atlantis finally been located? Is it in fact the ancient Minoan civilization of Crete? What are the facts?
• Were the great Egyptian pyramids really tombs of the pharaohs? Could they have been ancient astronomical observatories?
• Is the ark named in Genesis buried in a glacier on Mt. Ararat? What did the French expedition discover there?
• Was the dividing of the Sea of Passage in the biblical book of Joshua part of a cosmic catastrophe which struck the whole earth?
• What are the gigantic mathematical lines—37 miles long and a mile wide—that have been spotted from the air on the Nazca Desert in Peru?
Rupert Furneaux has travelled the world, sifting all the available evidence and checking the findings of the latest scientific and archeaological discoveries, to find the answers to these and countless other questions. ANCIENT MYSTERIES is the fascinating product of that search to unravel the truth.
The author lives in England and has written over thirty books of fiction and nonfiction.
