About this title

Synopsis:

Unravelling the once-hidden true past of America's earliest civilisations, with contributions from, amongst others, Zecharia Sitchin and Andrew Collins. The nursery rhyme begins, "In fourteen hundred and ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue." Less well-known is the line that follows: "...to learn if the old maps were true". How can there be "old maps" of a land no one knew existed? Were others here before Columbus and what unexplained artefacts did they leave behind? The oceans were highways to America rather than barriers and when discoverers put ashore, unusual inhabitants greeted them. In "Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America", the author of "The Atlantis Encyclopedia" turns his sextant towards this hemisphere. Here is a collection of the most controversial articles selected from seventy issues of the infamous "Ancient American" magazine. They range from the discovery of Roman relics in Arizona and California's Chinese treasure, to Viking rune-stones in Minnesota and Oklahoma and the mysterious religions of ancient Americans. Many questions will be raised including: What role did extraterrestrials have in the lives of ancient civilisations?

What prehistoric technologies have been discovered, and what can they tell us about early settlers, their religious beliefs and possible otherworldly visitors? Did El Dorado exist, and what of the legendary Fountain of Youth? Was Atlantis in Cuba? What are America's lost races and what happened to them?
