Modern day science along with society tend to believe that civilizations of the past were primitive in all aspects within their world of being. But how do we account for their mathematical, astronomical, and constructive skills that to this day, in many instances, cannot be duplicated.
Many mathematical procedures came into our knowledge of existence within the past 100 years, and yet many civilizations, including the Mayans, predicted with complete accuracy the movement of celestial bodies far into the future. How did these ancient builders create phenomenal structures around the planet? How did they move 60-ton blocks of stone and some larger that baffle our present day thinking? The book reveals that they used natural laws that presently eludes those of the Scientific, the Atheist, and the Spiritual. The secrets, as explained in the book, refers to these three belief systems that must combine within Natural Laws to rise above the elements, which then releases knowledge of higher light physics of the Ancients. All by Natural Laws! |
 Egyptology (Hardcover) by Emily Sands (Illustrator), Nick Harris (Illustrator), Helen Ward (Illustrator), Ian Andrew |
I cannot praise this book enough. Unfortunately in academic areas, introductions and overviews to various fields, particularly broad histories, tend to reflect the opinions and suppositions of the authors much more than render the actual environment they are working in. This book proves to be a rare exception to this sad fact and sets a standard of scholarship to be emulated by all researchers of the ancient world. Never in egyptology, assyriology, or biblical studies have I found a history that did such a wonderful job of laying out the textual and archaeological finds that scholars base their judgments upon. This is important to me, as I am in disagreement with many scholarly communities about issues of chronology. This book, rather than simply laying out tables and dates, supplements those tables with actual references to the texts and archaeological items that have lead scholars to date things the way they have, pointing out inconsistancies and uncertainties along the way. -- Jonathan Bailey |
The Histories is commonly thought of as the classic chronicle of the great 5th century BCE wars between the underdog confederacy of Greek city-states and the mighty Persian Empire. To the modern reader of military history, this implies an overriding focus on causes, strategy and tactics as well as detailed, extensive descriptions of pivotal battles. Herodotus, commonly referred to as the "father of history," takes a much broader approach with his work. While he does cover the heroic battles of Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis and Plateau, their treatment is surprisingly shallow, with the bulk of the book dedicated to narration of the gathering storm of Persian power and related expository coverage of the many lands, nations and peoples, intrigues, power struggles and heroic achievements of classical times. Contemporary expectations aside, this is a fascinating book, consistently entertaining and, with proper attention to editor John Marincola's notes, highly educational. -- Molon Labe |

Graham Hancock, the bestselling author of The Sign and the Seal, reveals the true origins of civilization. Connecting puzzling clues scattered throughout the world, Hancock discovers compelling evidence of a technologically and culturally advanced civilization that was destroyed and obliterated from human memory. Four 8-page photo inserts. He begins the book by introducing us to an ancient map of Antartica, made in 1513. It is called the Piri Reis map and was drawn up in Constantinople. It is an enigma because according to our current "knowledge" Antartica was not discovered until 1818. Hancock goes on to reveal many examples wich indicate that at some time in the distant past mankind was much more "evolved" tecnologically than in the recent past. Somehow the ancients had detailed knowledge about astronomy, mathematics, engineering, etc much of which we have only "learned" in the past century. How did they learn of these things? How did we - as a species - forget or lose this knowledge? |
Adam's Alien Genes - Did the Annunaki Alter Mans DNA?
The Bible asserts that the Elohim said: Let us fashion the Adam in our image and after our likeness. But if one is to accept a tentative explanation for enigmatic genes that humans possess, offered when the deciphering of the human genome was announced in mid-February, the feat was decided upon by a group of bacteria...An Account of Egypt by Herodotus
The subject of the history of Herodotus is the struggle between the Greeks and the barbarians, which he brings down to the battle of Mycale in 479 B. C. The work, as we have it, is divided into nine books, named after the nine Muses, but this division is probably due to the Alexandrine grammarians. His information he gathered mainly from oral sources, as he traveled through Asia Minor, down into Egypt, round the Black Sea, and into various parts of Greece and the neighboring countries. The chronological narrative halts from time to time to give opportunity for descriptions of the country, the people, and their customs and previous history; and the political account is constantly varied by rare tales and wonders...Atlantis
The impact of the ice ages and inter-glacial effects on the rise and fall of ocean levels and the earth readjustments to the departure of the ice cap cannot be over-looked in the human historical picture. Research in the area is far greater than in the recent past and we can learn what might have happened to earlier civilizations on earth. Atlantis is a given name for a civilization that inhabited many islands and coastal regions, in my mind. The idea of one central location makes little sense when one considers such things as Ice Ages and changes in the flow of the Gulf Stream and climate that resulted. Because it lasted for from 30,000 to 100,000 years and may have co-existed with other civilizations rising and falling it is most inauspicious to debate one specific time when it was in Tara or Crete or the Azores or Bimini or even Finias...Azazel and the Se'irim
Azazel is the chief of the Se'irim, or goat-demons, who haunted the desert and to whom most primitive Semitic (most likely non-Hebrew) tribes offered sacrifices. The Old Testament states that Jeroboam appointed priests for the Se'irim. But Josiah destroyed the places of their worship, as the practices accompanying this worship involved copulation of women with goats...Extraterrestrials? The Vatican Said "Yes"
The death of Pope John Paul II has occasioned widespread discussions about his own stand and the Vatican's position regarding a variety of subjects, from purely theological to social issues. Completely lacking has been any reference to an issue of concern to many, and especially to those interested in the subjects of UFO's, Life on other planets, and Extraterrestrials in general, and in Zecharia Sitchin's writings in particular...Going to Mars What is NASA Looking For?
The planet Mars is back in the news. This time, in spite of preceding failures (by Japan, Britain) of Mars missions, manmade Landers and their robotic rovers NASA's Spirit and Opportunity - made it safely and successfully to the Red Planet. And the initial indications, and photographs, already suggest that the assumption underlying these missions will be proven true; That Mars was once a planet with water - rivers, lakes, perhaps even seas; and that some of that water is still there...Marduk (Sumerian spelling in Akkadian AMAR.UTU "solar calf"; Biblical Merodach) was the name of a late generation god from ancient Mesopotamia and patron deity of the city of Babylon, who, when Babylon permanently became the political center of the Euphrates valley in the time of Hammurabi (18th century BC), rose to the position of the head of the Babylonian pantheon. ...Planetary Discoveries - When Astronauts Need Rethinking
The discovery of a giant planet amid a cluster of primitive stars, Science reported, is challenging one of astronomers' pet notions. It's a big shock, said the leader of the team of astronomers, astrophysicist Steinn Sigurdsson of Pennsylvania State University. The discovery, based on measurements by the Hubble Space Telescope, challenges scientists to rethink theories of how, when and where planets form, explained the science editor of The New York Times...The Book of Enoch & the Pseudepigrapha Jewish Traditions Not Included In the Bible
The Pseudepigrapha is a collection of various works written approximately between 200 BCE and 100 CE that were left out of the Old Testament. They tend to be written in Hebrew or Aramaic or occasionally Greek, and tend to be attributed to well known biblical heros like Abraham, Moses, and Noah. Some of these books were included in Greek manuscripts of the bible, and those extra books became known as the Apocrypha and are still included in Catholic bibles...The Book of Enoch Overview of the Enochic Texts Found at Qumran
The earliest of the Enochic corpus found at Qumran is the Astronomical Book, which dates to the third century BCE and consists of insights and revelations Enoch passes on to his son Methuselah from the angel Uriel. The majority of the book contains information on the solar and lunar calendar systems and on the astronomical positions of the heavenly bodies...The Case of the Evil Wind Climate Study Corroborates Sumer's Nuclear Fate
At the end of the third millennium B.C. the great Sumerian civilization came to an abrupt end. Its sudden demise was bewailed in numerous lamentation texts that have been discovered by archeologists. The texts ascribed the calamity to an Evil Wind that came blowing from the west (from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea) -- a deathly cloud that caused excruciating death to all living beings, people and animals alike, that withered plants and poisoned the waters...The Case of The Layered Asteroid - Once Again, Modern Science Corroborates Ancient Knowledge
Potato-shaped and about 21 miles long, Eros is one of countless bits and pieces of planetary matter that orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, collectively called the Asteroid Belt. One theory is that these are remains from the time when primordial matter around the Sun coalesced into planets, but these bits and pieces failed to do so...The Case of The Missing Elephant - The French Astronomer
The ruins and remains of Mexico's pre-Columbian civilizations enchant, intrigue, fascinate and puzzle. Of them the oldest and earliest, that of people referred-to as Olmecs, is the most enigmatic -- for they challenge present-day scholars to explain how had people from Africa come and settled and thrived in this part of the New World, thousands of years before Columbus...The Case of the Misplaced Teapot A Failed Challenge To An Enigma of Ancient Astronomy
The depiction and my interpretation thereof have embarrassed astronomers for the past quarter of a century, because it is just not possible for ancient peoples to have known about post-Saturn planets, to say nothing about one more yet to be acknowledged "unknown planet." My explanation that the knowledge was provided by the Anunnaki ("Those who from Heaven to Earth came) -- Extraterrestrial visitors to Earth -- is an even greater anathema to the scientific establishment...The announcement, on July 30th 2005, that a new celestial body has been discovered made media news around the world; and because the reports were headlined Astronomers Claim Discovery of 10th Planet, my phone started to constantly ring Some callers shouted Congratulations!; others, more cautiously, asked: Is it Nibiru? Nibiru being the planet...The Comet That Speaks Sumerian
On July 4th 2005, a NASA spacecraft named Deep Impact thrust out a metal probe devised to collide with a comet named Tempel-1. The purpose of the planned collision was to ascertain the true makeup of such a primordial comet by observing and analyzing the impact and its resulting debris...The Epic of Gilgamesh is from Babylonia, dating from long after the time that king Gilgamesh was supposed to have ruled. It was based on earlier Sumerian legends of Gilgamesh. The most complete version of the epic was preserved on eleven clay tablets in the collection of the 7th century BC Assyrian king Ashurbanipal.
The earliest Akkadian versions of the epic are known, from its incipit, as surpassing all other kings, and dates to the first half of the second millennium BC. The "standard" version, carrying the incipit He who saw the deep, was composed by Sin-liqe-unninni sometime between 1300 BC and 1000 BC.Myths that tell of a Flood that Covered the Earth
Some geologists believe that quite dramatic, greater than normal flooding of rivers in the distant past might have influenced the myths. One of the latest, and quite controversial, theories of this type is the Ryan-Pitman Theory, which argues for a catastrophic deluge about 5600 BC from the Mediterranean Sea into the Black Sea. Many other prehistoric geologic events, including tsunamis, have also been advanced as possible foundations for these myths. For example, some have asserted that the original versions of the Greek myth of Deukalion's flood likely originated from the effects of the megatsunami created by the eruption of Thera in the 18th-15th century BC More speculatively, some have suggested that flood myths could have arisen from folk stories of the huge rise in sea levels that accompanied the end of the last Ice Age some 10,000 years ago, passed down the generations as an oral history.According to the account in Genesis, Noah lived five hundred years, and then he and his wife had three sons, Japheth, Sem or Shem and Ham. The order can be deduced from the Genesis record: Noah was 500 when the first son, Japheth, was born (Genesis 5:32), 600 when the Flood came, so there are 100 years between these events. Note that Shem was two years younger - he had Arphaxad 2 years after the Flood, when he was 100 (Genesis 11:10). Therefore Shem was only 98 when the Flood came. Ham is stated to be the youngest (Genesis 9:24).The Lost Book of Enki: Memoirs and Prophecies of an Extraterrestrial god
There are few true geniuses writing books we can understand and only one writing about a subject so vitally important to every human being, i.e., we cannot know where we are going if we do not know where we have come from. Now, thanks to a lifetime of dedication worthy of the greatest researchers and detectives of all time, all of Zecharia Sitchin's books and especially "The Lost Book of Enki," are available to provide plausable answers to the hundreds of questions traditional "science" and "archaeology" and biblical "scholars" cannot or refuse to answer at all, let alone satisfactorily.
I think I understand why some of his fans are having trouble with "The Lost Book of Enki." They think they understand his work to the point where having it all presented in one book, and in a mytho-poetic style, no less, seems to be a rehash of what they've read. Well, they may be geniuses, themselves, because I've read all of the books twice and am one of about two dozen alumni of all of Zecharia's far flung teaching intensives, and yet I feel that I needed to read "The Lost Book of Enki" to really have a good grasp of the material and to feel it "breathe," to be mytho-poetic, myself. What a thrill to finally understand the actual basis for the seemingly ungrounded words, themes, and stories of the bible.
There are also a few facts mentioned in passing that should have blown the mind of anyone who has read all the books. It should be realized that NO ONE knows Zecharia's work the way he knows it and anyone who knows him realizes what a gift this book is to the many people who have literally begged him to put it all together in one book. So, as they say to anyone considering the study of the Kabalah, make sure that you are ready to have all of your preconceived notions, especially those about the bible and our creation, seriously dislodged. If you want the ride of your life, then read on. I know my life would have been quite the poorer had I not read all of Zecharia's works, especially "The Lost Book of Enki."
-- Monte FarberThe Lurking Planet. Is this Nibiru or Planet X?
The article reports the conclusions of an international team of astronomers who have studied an unusual comet discovered last year, designated 2000 CR/105. It follows a vast elliptical orbit around our Sun an orbit that takes it way out to some 4.5 billion kilometers from the Sun, and brings it back at its closest to the Sun to the vicinity of Neptune; it is an orbit whose period takes roughly 3,300 years...The Olmec Enigma: Astranaut Corroborates Sitchin
Beginning with the discovery of a colossal stone head in 1869, an advanced civilization that preceded the Mayas and Aztecs of Mexico came to light. Its leaders and bearers were unmistakably black Africans. They were arbitrarily named by archaeologists "Olmecs"; and their embarrassing enigma - of who they were, and how they had come across the ocean, and why, was compounded by the timing of their arrival in the New World...The Origins of Man - The Case of The Intelligent Designer
In the past several years the debate has manifested itself again, with greater vigor, not only in the so-called Bible Belt states, but also in unexpected places as the Michigan House of Representatives and the Pennsylvania education system. The most recent instance is Ohio, where the arena is the state's Board of Education...There are numerous researchers who show the connections of the Illuminati to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Yeats after Crowley and Regardie) come because the Rothschilds include esotericists just as the De Medicis named St. Germain had set up the schooling system in Vienna for them as he passed the spy network and financial monopoly (These things are most connected.) to the Rothschilds. Most of these researchers do not get the esoterics behind the acts and organizations or see the Corpus Hermeticum translated and called De Brix for what this means. De Brix is like De Bruges, it is another translation of the Bruttii and a family that founded Rome and Britain which has been ruling and building sophisticated means of control or Empire ever since. These BEES include more than the 'bees' of Childeric which the Merovingian Napoleon put upon his Holy Roman Emperor's investiture robe. They were in Egypt and are the Royal House of Mallia on Crete in 2200 BC...The "TSUNAMI" of 10,900 B.C. Explanation of The Great Flood?
Major catastrophes that befall Mankind are sometimes spoken of as being of "biblical proportions" to describe their immensity. The words have been used these days to convey the immensity of the calamity that befell the peoples and lands of the coastlines of the Indian Ocean, when an underwater earthquake caused a "Tsunami", a tidal wave that spread across thousands of miles of ocean waters and, hitting land, crushed all before it...The Watchers in the Old Testament
It seems that there is a threefold aspect to the sin of the Watchers in these accounts. First, it was a defilement of the essence of the angels to marry and engage in sexual acts with human women. Second, these unions between the angels and mortal women were considered evil, themselves. Because of the Nephilim and and evil created by these unions, God caused the great Flood of Noah's time. Finally, the angels sinned because they taught humanity and revealing the secrets of the natural universe which God did not intend for man to know...The tale of the Trojan War is known mostly (but not only) from the Iliad by the Greek poet Homer, who lived some seven centuries after the event. That time lapse has been one of the reasons for doubting the veracity of his tale...UFO's, The Nephilim and The Sons of God of Genesis 6 during the days of Noah
The Bible contains relevant information about what many believe to be a recent phenomenon, that neither most modern churches, nor most modern ufologists, are well informed about. In other words, they're back... The Bible teaches that certain angelic beings routinely abducted human women during the days of Noah, both before the great flood "and also afterward" (Genesis 6:1-4)...From Fingerprints of the Gods to Underworld
The central claim of my 1995 book Fingerprints of the Gods is not that there was but that there could have been a lost civilisation, which flourished and was destroyed in remote antiquity. And I wrote the book, quite deliberately, not as a work of science but as a work of advocacy. I felt that the possibility of a lost civilisation had not been adequately explored or tested by mainstream scholarship. I set myself the task of rehabilitating it by gathering together, and passionately championing, all the best evidence and arguments in its favour.Water: The Ultimate Propellant Will Water be The Fuel of The Future?
The news of the possible use of water an abundant and clean resource as the fuel for jet propulsion comes from the Tokyo Institute of Technology that has been developing technologies for powering small un-piloted planes by subjecting their engines to laser beams fired from the ground or from satellites...Will Biblical Prophecies be Fulfilled?
War has come to the cradle of civilization, current headlines have been announcing; and both fans and interviewers have asked me what is my take on these events. How strange that 6000 years of human history keep leading us to devastation in this ancient place...
