Heaven's Mirror : Quest for the Lost Civilization

Rating:
Summary: A Correction to My Jan.6, 2000 review.
Review: Two things I wanted to add. There is much that is excitingly new in Heaven's Mirror, rather than just a rehashing of earlier books, as so often authors give us. Secondly, the information in that review that I gave about the availability of Death of Gods in Ancient Egypt has changed. Fatbrain has split into two companies and my book, often quoted by Hancock and Bauval, is no longer available at Fatbrain.com. but rather at www.Mightywords.com.

Summary: Myths and Monuments as Signs
Review: What Hancock and Faiia do in this book is, in my opinion, amazing. Not only is this book beautifully illustrated, it does what few books can - it teaches us the history of various cultures, AND keeps us interested at the same time, with fascinating theories and factual evidence that is hard to dispute. I actually felt chills when the authors presented the relationship of the various sites on the globe to one another. The two achieve seemless transition and the book is divided very usefully into "parts" based on each civilization. Well worth the read, even if you have a busy schedule
