Atlantis Blueprint Review

Atlantis Blueprint
Average Reviews:

How can I be the first one to review this book!? This is one of the best books on Atlantis ever written! You have Colin Wilson, master writer of over 50 books, and Rand Flem-Ath, genius of "When The Sky Fell", both working together to write this piece, and no one reviews it? Holy crap!
Just know this. If you can read this book and still look me in the face and tell me Atlantis wasn't real, I will 100% believe that the Earth has no future.
5/5

In 1982, the American scholar Charles Hapgood made an astonishing claim to a young librarian, Rand Flem-Ath - that civilization was almost 100,000 years old and he had the evidence to prove it. Before he could substantiate this remarkable assertion, Hapgood died. Together with fellow author Colin Wilson, Flem-Ath set out to track down the truth behind the scholar's statements. Their study of the world's most sacred sites - Stonehenge, the Great Pyramids and many others - led them to an amazing discovery. Far from being built by local people for local reasons, these monuments formed an undeniable geometrical pattern. This is turn implied the existence of an ancient advanced civilization, one that existed before the Flood that destroyed Atlantis and whose knowledge of the world was far wider than had previously been thought possible. This book deciphers this remarkable code and the reasons behind it: the attempt by scientists from Atlantis to preserve a legacy of their civilisation. The book presents its argument with enormous persuasiveness - namely that our civilization is not the first to occupy the planet, nor is it likely to be the last.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World Review

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Seven Wonders of The Ancient World is one of the most complete and illustrative books that I have ever read on the subject. Each chapter explains in detail one of these seven ancient monuments, starting with it's history, location, purpose, building and description; and ending in how they came to be no more or the way the sites still stand in our day. The pictures included within the text also tell us, besides the description of the monument, a little bit about the way that archaeology reconstructed the pieces to the puzzling appearance of some of these monuments and the way archaeologists interpreted ancient accounts of people that lived to see these wonders in their heyday. The book also contains two chapters in which the authors describe others lists of seven wonders and the way the lists that we know today came to be chosen. The task of the authors in putting together in one book all the information of these seven wonders is a remarkable work of scholarship given to the fact that six of these seven monuments no longer exist and the great number of different accounts that do and shouldn't, but don't exist. This is a must-read book for all of those interested in archaeology, history or ancient civilizations.

Ancient Inventions Review

Ancient Inventions
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is describes ancient inventions and construction projects predating 1492. It is well researched, documented, and illustrated.
There is an assumption with some that earlier humans were rustic simpletons. This book dispels that notion. It describes everything from the mundane (wine, cosmetics), to the grandiose (an early Suez Canal), to the dangerous (trepanning, i.e. drilling holes in one's head as an early form of surgery), to the practical (mills, weapons, paper). One of the strangest discoveries is of a cave that is made to resemble hell.
In addition to the expected inventions from Egypt, Greece, and Rome inventions from all over the world are represented including ones from South America, China, and ancient Scythia the area where modern Ukraine is found. Inventions from that area include the earliest form of shelter (mammoth bone huts), domestication of horses, the earliest melodic musical instruments (flutes), maps, trousers, jewelry, ovens, houses, soap, and saunas (in which hashish was thrown on hot stones).
This is a feel-good book. It documents the creativity and imagination of humans.
