Book Description
This anthology explores unanswered questions about humanity’s origins and history. Some ancient civilizations had inexplicably and mysteriously advanced knowledge of science, agriculture, and astronomy. To the anthology authors, the myths, cosmology, and secret societies of these long-ago cultures may hold the answers. Among the topics discussed are architecture that aligns with certain stars, far-flung cultures with startling similarities, and the ancient astronaut theory. The potential literal truth and accuracy of Plato’s Atlantis and Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey are also examined.

Lost Secrets of the Gods
Author: Michael Pye
Publisher: Red Wheel/Weiser
ISBN: 1601634455
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Are there 10,000-year-old secret societies that still exist today? Was there a race of giants that once inhabited the Americas? Did ancient Egypt and ancient China have heretofore undiscovered ties? Lost Secrets of the Gods delves into these ancient mysteries and many more in articles by some of the world’s most intrepid and knowledgeable researchers. The old paradigms of history are being radically transformed as we discover more evidence of little-known cultures and what they achieved. Many ancient cultures spoke and wrote of visitors that gave them knowledge and helped shape their societies. Who were they, and where did they come from? We now know that many ancient cultures had advanced knowledge of science, agriculture, and astronomy, only some of which has been rediscovered in the last 100 years. Were The Iliad and The Odyssey really about an epic struggle in pre-Celtic Europe? What happened to the Persian army that completely disappeared from Egypt 2,500 years ago? Did the ancients know how to create psychic guard dogs to protect sacred sites? There is much more to history than what has officially been recorded. Lost Secrets of the Gods reveals startling truths and asks fascinating questions traditional historians have long ignored.

Founding Fathers, Secret Societies
Author: Robert Hieronimus
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1594778655
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
An exploration of the influence of secret societies on the formative documents and symbols of the United States • Reveals the Founding Fathers’ spiritual vision for America as encoded in the Great Seal • Traces the influence of the Iroquois League of Nations upon the Constitution • Exposes the deep connections the Founding Fathers had with the Freemasons and other secret societies All children growing up in America learn who the Founding Fathers were. Most, however, never learn of the founders’ connections to the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians, and other esoteric orders. In Founding Fathers, Secret Societies Robert Hieronimus investigates these important connections and how their influence can be traced throughout our most significant national documents and symbols, especially the Great Seal. He reveals in detail how the reverse of the Great Seal--which appears on the back of the one-dollar bill--is a blueprint that conveys the secret destiny of America. By understanding the kabbalistic meaning of the Great Seal’s reverse, he shows how our current era presents unique opportunities for the fulfillment of our Founding Fathers’ spiritual vision.

From Akhenaten to Moses
Author: Jan Assmann
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9774166310
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
The shift from polytheism to monotheism changed the world radically. Akhenaten and Moses--a figure of history and a figure of tradition--symbolize this shift in its incipient, revolutionary stages and represent two civilizations that were brought into the closest connection as early as the Book of Exodus, where Egypt stands for the old world to be rejected and abandoned in order to enter the new one. The seven chapters of this seminal study shed light on the great transformation from different angles. Between Egypt in the first chapter and monotheism in the last, five chapters deal in various ways with the transition from one to the other, analyzing the Exodus myth, understanding the shift in terms of evolution and revolution, confronting Akhenaten and Moses in a new way, discussing Karl Jaspers' theory of the Axial Age, and dealing with the eighteenth-century view of the Egyptian mysteries as a cultural model.

Ancient Aliens and Secret Societies
Author: Mike Bara
Publisher: SCB Distributors
ISBN: 1939149525
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Did ancient “visitors”—of extraterrestrial origin—come to Earth long, long ago and fashion man in their own image? Did they then lift the human race out of the ashes of a great global catastrophe around 10,500 BC? Were the science and secrets that they taught the ancients intended to be a guide for all humanity to the present era? Was this crucial information about our future and our true past hijacked by secretive cabals, some with bad intent and some with altruistic designs, who have held these secrets over the millennia? New York Times bestselling author Mike Bara says the answer to each of these questions is “yes.” He examines ancient documents, including the Bible, to delve into the true story of the beginnings of mankind. He establishes the reality of the major catastrophe that jolted the human race, and traces the history of secret societies from the priesthood of Amun in Egypt to the Templars in Jerusalem and the Scottish Rite Freemasons. He shows how the spiritual wisdom and scientific knowledge the ETs sought to bestow on all humanity were kept by these secret societies for their own benefit. The influence of these sects and their extraterrestrial ties are said to be the stuff of myth, but Bara will show readers that this influence is all too real, extending even into the political arena. He has a very interesting take on the Kennedy assassination! Bara also reveals the true origins of NASA and exposes the bizarre triad of secret societies in control of that agency since its inception. In the end, Bara shows how NASA is manipulating the space program to fulfill occult purposes—which may lead to our meeting the very ETs we have been inextricably linked with since the beginning.

Lost Knowledge of the Ancients
Author: Glenn Kreisberg
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1591439671
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Thinkers at the forefront in alternative theories on history, the origins of civilization, technology, and consciousness • With contributions by Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, Mark Booth, Richard Hoagland, Robert Schoch, John Anthony West, and others • Topics range from quantum philosophy and paranormal phenomena to the secret history of NASA, instant polar shifts, and ancient Martian civilizations • Explores where our present time fits into the cycle of human existence A revolution of thought is under way in our world, fostered by decades of research and well-documented evidence by alternative theory pioneers such as Graham Hancock, John Anthony West, Robert Bauval, and Robert Schoch. These provocative, cutting-edge scholars now represent a direct challenge to the academic establishment as the paradigms of science and history shift and their ideas gain acceptance. Representing the latest, often controversial findings in scientific and historical research, this anthology of essays commissioned by Graham Hancock, bestselling author of Fingerprints of the Gods, covers the forefront in alternative theories on history, the origins of civilization, technology, and consciousness with topics ranging from quantum philosophy and paranormal phenomena to the ancient use of electromagnetism, the effect of cosmic rays on human evolution, and NASA’s cover-up of ancient Martian civilizations. Recognizing that many recent discoveries are actually rediscoveries of lost knowledge from past civilizations, these authors seek to understand where, within the bigger picture of human knowledge, our present time fits into the cycle of human existence.
