Mysteries of the Ancient Past

A Graham Hancock reader consisting of a series of essays building on his work. The premise is that there is more to history than the official version, and that our ancestors knew a great deal more then we give them credit for. The essays cover a variety of topics on alternative science, history and archaeology and share a concern to uncover a deeper level of truth and make a contribution to the evolution of consciousness. Topics include Vedic literature, correspondences between ancient thought and modern science, the meaning of megaliths, the significance of the sun, Atlantis, similarities between Jesus and Mithras, and mysterious astronomical phenomena. All the essays are informative, and some are more readable than others. The reader who will get most out of them is one who is already familiar with these fields.
