About this product

Product Information

Some of the ancient world's most enigmatic and fascinating mysteries are introduced here in an entertaining mixture of informative text by specialists and colour photographs, maps and diagrams. The 70 mysteries are divided into six sections: Myths and legends; Mysteries of the Stone Age; Ancient civilizations; Tombs and lost treasures; Ancient and undeciphered scripts; The fall of civilizations. They include the quest for the Ark of the Covenant, the Turin Shroud, the origin of humans and language, the Mother Goddess cult, the Iceman, the nationality of ancient Egyptians and the Olmecs, Rome's lost legions, Easter Island, Christ's tomb, the origins of the alphabet, runes, the fall of the Minoans and asteroid impacts. The sheer quantity of mysteries discussed means that some questions are inevitably left unanswered but the volume succeeds in its aim to inform the general reader whilst encouraging further research.

5 out of 5 stars
by kingbookwormMay 13, 2013
One of the most enjoyable books on ancient history I have read.
I was very pleased with the book. It not only covers the mysteries of ancient civilizations but their myths and legends. Fagan discusses the various prevailing theories of each mystery. There is much food for thought for anyone interested in ancient history. It is well written, understandable for novices but still provides enough detail to interest those versed in the subjects. The only negative thing about the book is I wish there were more topics! Fagan has other books and I enjoy his writing style and his open mind about historical subjects.
