Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America

By: Joseph, Frank

Book Overview

Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America brings to the fore the once-hidden true past of America's earliest civilizations.

The nursery rhyme begins, "In fourteen hundred and ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue." Less well-known is the line that follows: "...to learn if the old maps were true." How can there be "old maps" of a land no one knew existed? Were others here before Columbus? What were their reasons for coming and what unexplained artifacts did they leave behind? The oceans were highways to America rather than barriers, and when discoverers put ashore, they were greeted by unusual inhabitants.

In Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America, the author of The Atlantis Encyclopedia turns his sextant towards this hemisphere. Here is a collection of the most controversial articles selected from seventy issues of the infamous Ancient American magazine. They range from the discovery of Roman relics in Arizona and California's Chinese treasure, to Viking rune-stones in Minnesota and Oklahoma and the mysterious religions of ancient Americans.

Many questions will be raised including:

What role did extraterrestrials have in the lives of ancient civilizations?What ancient pyramids and towers tell us about the people who built them? Are they some sort of portals to another dimension?What prehistoric technologies have been discovered, and what can they tell us about early settlers, their religious beliefs, and possible other-worldy visitors?Did El Dorado exist, and what of the legendary Fountain of Youth?Was Atlantis in Cuba?What are America's lost races and what happened to them?

Deeply interesting

i was very intriqued by this book. Many of the theories are now coming out in the open.

Great articles help uncover the truth!

Anyone who has more than a passing interest in the real truth of what has actually been dug up by archaeologists & anthropologists for hundreds of years all around the world, should add this book to their collection. It combines articles from various authors and gives a straight-forward, non-technical look at what experts like Dr. Virginia Steen-McIntyre have been proving for years, that there were great civilizations that have existed on earth for thousands of years, long before the so-called "main stream scientific experts" allow to be disseminated to the general public. I see lots of reviews of books like this one, with uninformed neophytes claiming "how can someone take fables and pass them off as truth". While these same reviewers will spout Bible rhetoric and try to convince everyone that the Bible is truth, but nothing else is. Well, if you can believe in the Bible myth why not Atlantis and the like. Sorry Bible thumpers, but it's pure hypocrisy and you know it. This is a great book, with honest and true facts and if you don't want to know about the world of the past don't by it.

Authentic Ancient American History

Finally, people aren't ignoring the evidence of pre-Columbus voyages to America. This change in thinking has been a long time coming. This book presents some of the most compelling evidences for the voyages and visits. Even skeptics will have a hard time putting this book down.

Discovering Mysteries

This is exactly what I looked for. A collection of interesting articles, and among them strong evidences that the Vikings were in America before Columbus. Just what I was looking for. Great!

The real early discoverers of America

Everyone knows Columbus discovered America - but in fact he owned and worked from charts of the region drawn by Viking explorers hundreds of years before he was born - and they in turn were preceded by Irish missionaries, shipwrecked Romans and others. DISCOVERING THE MYSTERIES OF ANCIENT AMERICA: LOST HISTORY AND LEGENDS, UNEARTHED AND EXPLORED gathers all these accounts, using the articles from Ancient American magazine to assemble some documented discoveries which are real puzzlers. Most have not been closely examined and certainly not under one cover, in a place convenient for contrast and discussion.
