Condition description: A lightly used copy, some minor scrapes to the back cover. From the back of the book: Michael Baigent examines a number of individual cases from pre- and ancient history that call into question much of today's orthodoxy. He discusses first of all the whole theory of Darwinian evolution and demonstrates how more than a century of research into the fossil record has failed to produce the concrete proof needed to support the concept. He also considers objectively and critically the enigmas and curiosities surrounding the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Finally, he looks at the more mysterious teachings which the modern world has inherited from some unknown source. Most of these questions are dealt with in separate chapters, each providing a fascinating discussion of some controversial element of ancient history. But, more importantly, Ancient Mysteries reveals a startling picture of mankind's very early existence, of the ancient use of sophisticated technology and of human culture emerging in lands no longer available for archaeological study. And in the process it leads us to question just how much we really do know about our world, its history and its true nature. *
