The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Ancient Earth Mysteries

In this informed study Paul Devereux, one of the world's leading researchers into ancient earth mysteries, presents a balanced survey of these often over-sensationalised topics. While challenging some of the more outlandish claims made in recent years, the book introduces convincing explanations for some of the most celebrated earth mysteries, such as the real nature of "leylines", how the pyramids were built and the secret of the Nazca lines in Peru.

Paul Devereux provides a critical and considered assessment of many mysteries and beliefs, both famous and less well known. He explores the latest fields of research to reach innovative and thought-provoking conclusions on the purposes of such sites and the beliefs that may have inspired their creation. This authoritative, well researched encyclopedia both exposes certain mysteries as fictitious and enhances the inexplicable fascination of others.

Drawing upon a wealth of established and more recent data, the book discusses the role of scientific innovations such as DNA evidence, NASA aerial-imaging techniques and acoustic research methods in analysing the ancient legacy of such sites. Through an accessible and systematic treatment of places, phenomena, sites and themes, this book weaves together the many strands of belief and research to provide a clear insight into the ancient knowledge of our forebears.
