This encyclopedia is an up-to-date source of information on what are termed most usually "earth mysteries" or "ancient mysteries" - a term coined in the 1970s to describe a cross-disciplinary study of sacred landscapes, strange lifeways of former ages, ruined monuments and magical sites which reveal untold secrets of our spirituality, belief and knowledge. The book, which covers locations and sites world wide, brings together many strands of understanding and provides an insight into ancient knowledge. It is a balanced survey of an often over-sensationalized subject which seeks to dissolve numerous false mysteries.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An intelligent look at ancient wisdom,
By S Phillips (the English Midlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Ancient Earth Mysteries (Hardcover)
Once upon a time encyclopaedias were large tomes filled with dry facts served in bite sized pieces. Well, times have changed and this was a real pleasure to review. The illustrations are stunning, the text well researched, well written and with some subtle tongue in cheek observations as the author debunks some myths and adds depth to others. It is one of those books one wants to dip into again and again and each time some new knowledge emerges. It is made to be really used too. The book is so robustly put together it will probably end up as a family heirloom.
