Architects of the Underworld: Unriddling Atlantis, Anomalies of Mars, and the Mystery of the Sphinx [Paperback]

Bruce Rux (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 25, 1996

In this detailed, illustrated compilation, author Bruse Rux draws on thirteen years of research on reports of extraterrestrial phenomena and cover-up conspiracies. By painstakingly following the paper trails that connect such apparently unrelated and unexplained events as crop circles, alien abductions, extraterrestrial activities, and other modern-day mysteries, the author uncovers a legacy of misinformation, denial, and official silence form government organizations. Showing the roots of this startling, hidden history of humanity predate the twentieth century by hundreds of years, Rux reveals the links between these contemporary phenomena and the legendary civilization of Atlantis, the Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx, and the anomalies on the canal-coursed surface of Mars, including the controversial "Face."

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, eye-opening stuff, June 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Architects of the Underworld: Unriddling Atlantis, Anomalies of Mars, and the Mystery of the Sphinx (Paperback)

Rux has gathered some of the best evidence for the existence of UFOs and the related government cover-ups in this volume. In addition, he's managed to bring in ancient astronaut theory, which may sound outlandish to some but is in reality a theoretically rigorous body of work when in the hands of researchers like Zecharia Sitchin, whose work is given extensive treatment by Rux. The narrative flows well and Rux's command of the language is superb - he presents facts objectively with little emotional bias but somehow manages to cleverly lead the reader to the same conclusions as his. Enjoyable stuff, especially if you believe that there's a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to conventional wisdom surrounding the pyramids, sphinx, Martian anomalies and UFOs. If you're looking for a one-stop treatment of ancient and modern puzzles, look no further - this is it.

A Reader - See all my reviews

This review is from: Architects of the Underworld: Unriddling Atlantis, Anomalies of Mars, and the Mystery of the Sphinx (Paperback)

This book is excellent, and truly represents the summation of my 25 year inquiry into Ancient Astronauts, UFOs and Paleo-civilisations which began at age 12 in 1980 when I turned away from the vicious narrowmindedness of my late father's religion, Islam, and was desparately searching for a revolutionary, yet "down to earth", i.e logical and explainable outlook on the murky and disputed subject of man's history.
With an all-encompassing conciseness I have yet to see elsewhere on this newly emerged subject of "alternate history", Rux presents the conclusion that we, mankind, are in fact the aliens here on Earth - the ones we have been eagerly searching for in other places without actually looking at ourselves to see what we really are. It was our forebears, who in previous advanced epochs now remembered only in myth, left their mark elsewhere in this solar system besides earth. Goodness knows whence we originally came; but the all-pervasive hold on human mass-emotion and behaviour by supposedly "primitive" and "irrational" mythology, sacred scriptures and "illogical" traditions shows something deeper and hidden - that collective legacy of ours. He distills the diverse and complex strands of UFO lore, conspiracy theories, Freemasonry, Atlantis/ancient civilisations, ancient astronauts, fairies and superbeings, angels and devils, the Old Testament, and New World as well as Oriental and European folklores into one clear and very logical essence. or so I see. I recommend that his book be read first, in this field which is already populated by hundreds of startling yet generally confusing books - as far as the big picture is concerned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent-excellent-excellent!, January 21, 1999

This review is from: Architects of the Underworld: Unriddling Atlantis, Anomalies of Mars, and the Mystery of the Sphinx (Paperback)

Very well written book showing extremely extensive research. If the reader has no interest in UFOs, then the amazing information regarding the Egyptian pyramids (and other similar areas throughout earth, and even upon Mars and other planetary bodies) and how they can be linked to an advanced civilization is incredible! Using the Bible and other ancient documents and myths adds much credibility to his conclusion. It is also good to see an author giving credit to earlier pioneers, such as Velikovsky, Tesla, and others. This is a definate "must read" for anyone interested in current and ancient oddities. Be warned, anyone reading this book will likely continue their personal research in these areas.
