Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unforgettable Ancient Sites includes mysterious megalithic sites that appear to have been built using geometric principles far in advance of their time, pyramids that once ran with sacrificial blood, vast temple complexes, lost cities and stunning works of ancient architecture, these sites all have one thing in common - through them, we can connect with the grandeur of our own history. Fully illustrated with superb photography, it gives each site's history as well as some little known facts and insights into how little we actually know about some of these places. Some of the amazing sites included are the Pyramids of Giza, The Acropolis, the Carnac Stones, the Meroë Pyramids, Carthage, Hierapolis-Pammukale, The Great Wall, Borobudur Temple, Nazca Lines, and Chichen Itza. Around the globe are places that have the power to transport us back through the ages; places where humankind has left magical monuments that speak to us across the centuries of people and civilizations that have long since passed. Some are wrapped in mystery. Why did early hunter-gatherer humans paint fantastic beasts across cave walls at Lascaux? Who raised Stonehenge or the Carnac Stones, and for what purpose? If the Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a tomb why does its builder's name not appear anywhere on the massive building? others are less enigmatic but remind us of what wonders humans can uild. Place like Angkor Wat, the Colosseum, and Machu Picchu stand witness to the architectural and engineering genius of ages past. You'll get to experience monuments across continents like the Knossos, Hadrian’s Wall, Luxor Temple, Bagan, the Great Serpent Mound, Easter Island, the Olmec Colossal heads, and much more. Unforgettable Ancient Sites is a world tour of some of the most remarkable human achievements on the planet. Visiting Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, and of human civilization to the relatively recent, it takes the reader to the world's most breathtaking monuments.

Download or read book Gobekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods written by Andrew Collins and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the megalithic complex at Göbekli Tepe, who built it, and how it gave rise to legends regarding the foundations of civilization • Details the layout, architecture, and exquisite carvings at Göbekli Tepe • Explores how it was built as a reaction to a global cataclysm • Explains that it was the Watchers of the Book of Enoch and the Anunnaki gods of Sumerian tradition who created it • Reveals the location of the remains of the Garden of Eden in the same region Built at the end of the last ice age, the mysterious stone temple complex of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey is one of the greatest challenges to 21st century archaeology. As much as 7,000 years older than the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, its strange buildings and rings of T-shaped monoliths--built with stones weighing from 10 to 15 tons--show a level of sophistication and artistic achievement unmatched until the rise of the great civilizations of the ancient world, Sumer, Egypt, and Babylon. Chronicling his travels to Göbekli Tepe and surrounding sites, Andrew Collins details the layout, architecture, and exquisite relief carvings of ice age animals and human forms found at this 12,000-year-old megalithic complex, now recognized as the oldest stone architecture in the world. He explores how it was built as a reaction to a global cataclysm--the Great Flood in the Bible--and explains how it served as a gateway and map to the sky-world, the place of first creation, reached via a bright star in the constellation of Cygnus. He reveals those behind its construction as the Watchers of the Book of Enoch and the Anunnaki gods of Sumerian tradition. Unveiling Göbekli Tepe’s foundational role in the rise of civilization, Collins shows how it is connected to humanity’s creation in the Garden of Eden and the secrets Adam passed to his son Seth, the founder of an angelic race called the Sethites. In his search for Adam’s legendary Cave of Treasures, the author discovers the Garden of Eden and the remains of the Tree of Life--in the same sacred region where Göbekli Tepe is being uncovered today.
