Some ancient civilizations had inexplicably and mysteriously advanced knowledge of science, agriculture, and astronomy. To the anthology authors, the myths, cosmology, and secret societies of these long-ago cultures may hold the answers. Among the topics discussed are architecture that aligns with certain stars, far-flung cultures with startling similarities, and the ancient astronaut theory. The potential literal truth and accuracy of Plato’s Atlantis and Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey are also examined.
