Voices of the Rocks: A Scientist Looks at Catastrophes and Ancien - Softcover
Could the Egyptian Sphinx have been built many centuries earlier than conventional history would have us believe? Could the great natural disasters that propelled the evolution of life on Earth have played a dominant role as well in the rise and fall of civilization? Could Earth have been home to civilizations far greater in number--and far older--than orthodox researchers have suspected? In Voices of the Rocks, Dr. Robert M. Schoch examines these and other crucial questions about our past and shows how the answers can guide us in the future.

Review:
From the Back Cover:
“At last a scholar breaks the ranks… .Schoch has provided us with a wonderful and extremely well written expose of a stunning theory that may yet rock the very foundation of the scientific and archaeological establishment… Deservedly a best-seller.”
Robert Bauval author of Orion Mystery
“Schoch puts his arguement in an engaging, intelligent, and articulate manner. A paradigm shift of monumental significance is now underway. I suspect that Voices of the Rocks is going to play a crucial part in it.”
Graham Hancock Heavens Mirror
Twenty million years ago a meteorite weighing 10 billion tons and moving at over 50,000 miles per hour smashed into the earth close to the North Pole. It vaporised on impact, releasing energy equivalent to 100,000 megatons of TNT, killing every living organism for thousands of miles. Before this cataclysm the Arctic was covered with Birch forest and browsed by now extinct forms of rhinoceros and deer.
In 'Voices of the Rocks,' Dr Robert Schoch, a Yale scholar, geologist and palaeontologist, tells a new story of the evolution of the earth. Driven by his discovery in 1990 that the Sphinx is thousands of years older than previously thought, he traces the evidence for lost civilisations and the natural catastrophes which destroyed them. He shows that, far from being a planet of slowly shifting changes, the ecology of the Earth has been propelled by a series of cataclysmic natural disasters. Meteors, asteroids, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are just some of the destructive elements in our ecological history that threatens our planet today.
'Voices of the Rocks' is the story of Dr Schoch's search for the traces of lost civilisations, his fascinating discoveries, and the warnings we must heed if we wish to survive what ever catastrophes the future has in store for us.
"Schoch puts his arguments and his own original research into the problems of prehistory before the reader in and engaging, intelligent and articulate manner. A paradigm shift of monumental significance is now underway. I suspect that 'Voices of the Rocks' is going to play a crucial part in it."
GRAHAM HANCOCK, 'Fingerprints of the Gods' and 'Heaven's Mirror'
"Schoch's courage and honesty emerge on every page . . . it reads like a thriller."
COLIN WILSON
