Lost Tombs in My Mind

Again Maurice examines and researches cultural and belief systems rooted in mystery, code and symbolism, fear and what made people carry on with survival and their influences of animal spirits and powerful guides that have faced and formed modern day societies when they no longer could survive a clean and healthy lifestyle. From carvings and lighting aspects to show different symbologies to cover who was teaching and giving advanced knowledge to boost their understandings...it came from nothing -- but Maurice shows how sunspots, waves and duration of radiation from the natural world formed and enveloped their life and the GODs from above that aided them in boosting their comprehension and way of living... Very different aspect of religion and animal - power -- a way in which they only understood in thos circumstances but it is very uplifting and gives me more ?s to research and try to figure out on my own...lost knowledge is being opened up and discovered...discover for yourself.

Not as good as The Tutankhamun Prophecies

Maurice does it again...I don't believe that he will ever write a book that is as good as 'The Tutankhamun Prophecies', but 'The Lost Tomb of Viracocha' reveals more of the great secrets encoded into artifacts by clever ancient peoples. The book can be read simply as an archaeological or anthropological guide to the lost pyramids of Peru. The pictures and expanations of the pyramids and artifacts are fantastic (my favorite is the Crab Man). Cotterell also makes a cogent case regarding the spiritual messages encoded in the burial sites. The ancient Lord of Sipan, who should not have not more about physics than what can be seen in the heavens at night with the naked eye, knew more about some aspects of physics than our modern science does. He (and Tutankhamun and the rest of the Supergods) also had sophisticated knowledge about the physical world and its relationship to the spiritual world. Cotterell has a special talent: finding, presenting, and explaining information that has previously been a mystery. The 'Lines of Nazca' is an example of this. Nobody knew who made these lines, many miles long, or why, and then suddenly Maurice says exactly who made them and what the significance of the lines is. This type of research makes it difficult for mainstream science or any other interested party to remain in a state of cognitive dissonance. Maurice's books are definitely for the open minded reader. I highly recommend the book, although it is not a masterpiece like 'The Tutankhamun Prophecies'. Maurice tends to repeat himself, giving a great deal of old information to his fan base, and at the end of the book goes a little too far in attempting to explain how we escape the reincarnation cycle. Even after all of his research, we still don't know as much as we don't know. And who's to say that the path of the ancients is the only one? Other than that, the book really is a great read. Hold on for another wild ride in 'The Lost Tomb of Viracocha'. econ
