Reports facts and the most recent theories concerning ancient civilizations, archaeological discoveries, unexplained catastrophes, and other mysteries from man's past,

7/8/22

From Atlantis to a black hole over Siberia; all the mysteries you'd like to know. ( )

I'd trust the facts in this book (as of 1972, anyway), but I'd toss out the editorial opinions appearing in the text, especially relating to possibilities of alien visitation. The selections are adequate, although they do seem to center on lost civiilizations that I, for one, have never heard of, and do not include such mysteries as probable life seven or eight miles beneath the ocean, or the Loch Ness "monster." Neither are there stories of archeological findings of such ancient wonders as the Colossus of Rhodes, or where those blasted golden gospels of the Mormons could be located. ( )

Includes a Gazetteer.
