Lost Cities and Forgotten Civilizations


Pye, Michael and Kirsten Dalley. Lost Cities and Forgotten Civilizations. 2013, 262p. ISBN 978-1-4488-9251-8. 001.94 on the library shelves.



We have been taught that Christopher Columbus was the first one who came to the New World. How is it, then, that a pottery shard written in Hebrew about 2,000 years ago came to be found in a Native American earthen mound built about the same time in Tennessee? Did the paradise of Eden really exist? How about Atlantis? How do we explain the remnants of 10-feet tall red haired humans found in several different locations around the world dating 10,000 years ago? How is it that the Great Pyramid of Giza sits exactly at the center of Earth’s land mass, and has the same distance from the center of the Earth as to the North Pole? Who were all of the flying gods mentioned in the Bible and other holy texts? Could the ancient Picts living in what is now Scotland actually come from what is now Nova Scotia? A fascinating read into alternative theories, this book will make you question everything you know and will create more questions.
