Gods of Eden: Egypt's Lost Legacy and the Genesis of Civilization Tapa blanda - 2002

EGYPT / ANCIENT MYSTERIES "Here is an author to watch. Here is someone who is really interested in the truth and will take us there at all costs. If science as a whole had a dozen more thinkers of this courage and tenacity then we would all be celebrating the millennium in the warmth of a new golden-age." --Rand Flem-ath, coauthor of The Atlantis Blueprint and When the Sky Fell ." . . a fascinating piece of research that does much to bring the biblical world of Eden back into the historical spotlight." --David Rohl, Egyptologist, author of A Test of Time Hidden deep below Egypt's Giza plateau is perhaps the key to unlocking the mysteries of the Great Pyramid. Built using a technology unequaled even today, the ancient Egyptians claimed they inherited their advanced culture from a race of giants who lived during a previous age known as Sep Tepi, the First Time. In his earlier companion book From the Ashes of Angels, Andrew Collins provided sound historical evidence to show that this strange race, described in ancient mythology as Elder gods and fallen angels, founded pre-Pharonic Egypt. Now, in Gods of Eden, he describes their remarkable achievements. Assembling clues from archaeology, mythology, and religion, Collins shows us how this prehistoric global society mastered acoustic technology and employed the use of sound to raise heavy objects into the air and pierce holes through solid rock. It was with this technology that they were able to construct pyramids and other gigantic structures everywhere from Egypt to Peru, Mexico to ancient Tibet. Collins explains the traces left by these Elder gods from ancient texts worldwide and demonstrates their role in the foundations of ancient astronomy over 10,000 years ago. With findings based on more than twenty years of research and scholarship, Collins reveals the fascinating historical destiny of this fallen race and defines the imprints and legacies they left behind at the genesis of civilization. ANDREW COLLINS has been investigating the idea of an advanced civilization existing before recorded history since 1979. He is the author of From the Ashes of Angels and Gateway to Atlantis and is chairman of Britain's premier annual forum of alternative history and forbidden archaeology. He lives in Essex, England.
