The Earth is teeming with mysteries and many are explored in these earth mysteries books. Did you know that there is an ancient map showing Antarctica as two land masses under the ice, a fact that was only recently revealed in a global survey using infra-red technology. Someone, somewhere, knew this centuries ago whilst the continent was entombed in ice.
Then there are the mysteries surrounding the Sphinx. It has recently been confirmed by scientists that the erosion on the sculpture was created by water, not sand, yet that would push back the dating of the Sphinx by 8000 years to a time before there was any known civilisation on Earth. Other mysteries include the apparent probe in orbit around the Earth, identified by long-delayed-echoes, and "There is at least one artefact that proves beyond all doubt that one civilisation in the ancient world possessed technical knowledge which no modern scientists had previously suspected. As it was found in the sea off Antikythera, a small island north west of Crete, it is known as the Antikythera Mechanism." So wrote renowned author and sceptic Arthur C. Clarke of an artefact that remains a puzzle to our accepted view of world history. Arthur C Clarke, wrote of the device in ‘Technology and the Limits of Knowledge’ in ‘The View from Serendip’, "Looking at this extraordinary relic is a most disturbing experience. Few activities are more futile than the ‘what if....’ type of speculation, yet the mechanism positively compels such thinking. Though it is over two thousand years old, it represents a level which our technology did not reach until the eighteenth century…If the insight of the Greeks had matched their ingenuity, the industrial revolution might have begun a thousand years before Columbus. By this time we would not merely be pottering around on the Moon, we would have reached the nearer stars.’" Our Earth mysteries books cover all this and more including Ancient Egypt, Nazi UFOs, the mythology surrounding Atlantis and even aliens!
