From anomalous archaeological finds to little-known historical references, a pattern emerges of a human race far more intelligent and advanced than simple sustenance-centered cave dwellers. How did the ancients learn of the precession of the equinoxes - an astrological cycle of 25,000 years - or of the ice covered coastline of Antarctica? How could they build the pyramids of Egypt, the giant stone temple at Baalbek, Lebanon, the enigmatic Stonehenge? Were there ancient, forgotten, seafaring nations who traveled the world with relative ease? What truths do mythology and oral history preserve? Is human history a series of cycles of advance and decline reaching back to Atlantis, Lemuria, and countless earlier cultures whose names, even, are lost, and whose thinking patterns are difficult for us to comprehend? Indeed did ancient cultures possess insights and methods more advanced than we do today? And most importantly, is it possible to regain those insights and methods to resolve the problems of today? This is the challenge of our time. This is Ancient Mystery. AncientMystery.info
