High up in the Bolivian Andes-4,000 meters above sea level-lies
Pumapunku, an ancient ruined city that simply could never have
been constructed by its Stone Age inhabitants. "Something here
really stinks to high heaven," writes Erich von Daniken.
"In Twilight of the Gods," says von Daniken, "I document precisely
what it was that left the first visitors breathless as they stood
before the mighty stone blocks some 400 years ago. I will show you
what archeologists discovered hundreds of years ago and
demonstrate how much has been destroyed over the centuries.
Intentionally.
"I will also prove that Pumapunku was not built by any Stone Age
people.
"And in December 2012, the gods will return from their long journey and appear
again here on Earth. At least that is what the Mayan calendar would have us
believe.
"The so-called gods--the extraterrestrials--will come again. We're headed for a
'god shock' of major proportions.
"But doesn't anyone with half a brain know that interstellar travel is simply
impossible because of the sheer distances involved? And that extraterrestrials
would never look like us?
"Well, dear readers, I destroy these preconceptions. Systematically. One bit at
a time."
In his own inimitable way, Erich von Daniken picks these preconceptions and
prejudices apart with a clarity no other author could manage.
About the Author
Erich von Daniken is arguably the most widely read and most-copied nonfiction
author in the world. He published his first (and most well-known) book, Chariots
of the Gods, in 1968. It was a worldwide best-seller and has been followed by 31
more books including the recent hit History Is Wrong (New Page Books). His works
have been translated into 28 different languages and have sold a total of 63
million copies. Several of his books have also been turned into films, and
Erich's ideas have been the inspiration for a wide range of TV series, including
the History Channel's smash hit special, "Ancient Astronauts." He is an
ever-present figure on the international lecture circuit. He lives in
Switzerland.
Driven by visions of his dead father, Professor Caleb
Crowe reluctantly joins the Morpheus Initiative, a team of
remote-viewing archaeologists determined to locate the remains of
the seventh Wonder of the Ancient World—the Pharos
Lighthouse—beneath which the legendary treasure of Alexander the
Great is rumored to be hidden.
Crowe’s quest spans two thousand years of visionary history that
connects the ashes of Herculaneum and the lost Library of
Alexandria with a secret government program and ancient society
called The Keepers.
To discover a threshold guarded by deadly traps and forgotten
prophecies is one thing, but facing the truth about himself is
something else altogether.

From the Author
The idea for this novel came from two intriguing sources. The first
was a real life scientific experiment in the late seventies that
used psychics to remote-view the location of Cleopatra's palace and
other mysteries in Alexandria. The second was my research into the
Pharos Lighthosue, specifically some early sources stating that
there were diabolical traps under the foundation that protected a
great treasure - possibly the lost hoard of Alexander the Great.
The idea to synthesize these two elements led to this novel - and
the sequels, the first of which concerns the search for Genghis
Khan's lost tomb...
Did you ever wonder about the "sons of God" in the sixth chapter of Genesis?
Well, it was a few lines summing up the book of Enoch, likely written prior to
Genesis even. This book argues that Enoch is Scripture and also explains why
that is so. But since as the cover reads the church fathers suppressed it, we
don't find it in our Bibles today. But by drawing parallels to it and our Bible
it concludes Jesus had thorough Enochian knowledge. Not only that, but that all
the characters of biblical times knew of the Watchers' fall, and the
adulteration of our race with Nephilim genetics.
Did rebel angels take on human bodies to fulfill their lust for the "daughters
of men"? Did these fallen angels teach men to build weapons of war?
That is the premise of the Book of Enoch, a text cherished by the Essenes, early
Jews and Christians but later condemned by both rabbis and Church Fathers. The
book was denounced, banned and "lost" for over a thousand years-until in 1773, a
Scottish explorer discovered three copies in Ethiopia.
Elizabeth Clare Prophet examines the controversy surrounding this book and sheds
new light on Enoch's forbidden mysteries. She demonstrates that Jesus and the
apostles studied the Book of Enoch and tells why Church Fathers suppressed its
teaching that angels could incarnate in human bodies. Contains all the Enoch
texts, including the Book of Enoch, and biblical parallels.
Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil takes you back to the primordial drama of
Good and Evil, when the first hint of corruption entered a pristine world-earth.
Contains Richard Laurence's translation of the Book of Enoch, all the other
Enoch texts, including the Book of the Secrets of Enoch, biblical parallels.
Quoted in the book of Jude, and used to form our view of angels and demons, this
book connects the dots of doctrine and prophecy in the scriptures. It goes into
more detail about the "Sons of God (Angels) that left their positions in heaven
to marry human women", having children that became giants and introducing
violence, sorcery, and evil spirits into the world.
A Mayan Priest Reveals What the 2012 Prophecy Really Means for Your Life.
Written at the request of the Mayan Elders, by a member of the Guatemalan Elders
Council and Mayan priest Carlos Barrios, The Book of Destiny is a tool to help
people understand their life purpose and to use this profound knowledge to make
the best of their time on earth.
According to the Mayan Elders, at the moment of birth every human being is given
a destiny. Our life challenge is to develop ourselves and our skills in order to
fulfill this destiny, thus fueling our individual contribution to the planet. At
the heart of The Book of Destiny is the sacred Mayan Calendar, an extraordinary
tool that allows readers to discover this destiny, along with their special
Mayan symbol, origin, and protection spirits that accompany them through life.
WARNING!!! YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON THE INFORMATION IN
THIS BOOK. This book is true; after a near death experience the author set out
to uncover the true history of mankind, where we come from, how we came to be,
and where we are going. On his quest he discovered hidden information,
information that is so scary, so controversial, you are advised to read with
caution.
The world as you know it is coming to an end and almost everything you
know could be a lie, intentionally handed out to be unintentionally handed
down from generation to generation as truth, in order to maintain the
control of life and death, just as has been done since the dawn of time.

"When considering the historical record of scientific
experts, from their views on manned flight and atom bombs to germs and Global
Warming, the one constant seems to be that mostly they were wrong. Perhaps it is
time for the public to consider alternative sources of information, such as this

Germ theory was first advanced in ancient Sanskrit texts thousands of years ago,
but wasn't widely accepted until late in the 19th century.
Space travel was declared "utter bilge" in 1956 by the British astronomer Royal,
one of a long line of scientists who "proved" it was impossible.
Throughout history, it has been difficult, even impossible, to promote the
acceptance of new discoveries. Yet during the last two centuries, there has been
a veritable explosion of new cures, theories, techniques, and inventions that
have revolutionized aviation, space travel, communications, medicine, and
warfare.
Most of them, of course, were deemed "impossible."
Science Was Wrong is a fascinating collection of stories about the pioneers who
created or thought up the "impossible" cures, theories, and inventions "they"
said couldn't work. How many have suffered or died because cures weren't
accepted? How many inventions have been quashed? How much progress was delayed
or denied?
You will end up shaking your head in disbelief and even disgust as you learn the
answers.
You feel like you’ve done something before...even as you do
it for the very first time.
You engage in a conversation and suddenly realize you’ve spoken those same words

ever met.
Déjà vu is the eerie sensation of “remembering” an experience or situation that
never occurred. Scientific research into déjà vu has revealed intriguing
theories, ranging from short-term memory misfires to neurophysiological
disorders. Yet other theories suggest more paranormal causes for déjà vu, such
as glimpses into parallel realities. Perhaps the true explanation lies somewhere
in between.
But déjà vu is only one of the many mysteries of the mind. The Déjà
vu Enigma also explores:
Memory lapses, missing time, and fugue states.
The brain as both receiver and transmitter of reality.
Altered states of perception and consciousness, from
hallucinations to religious visions.
Contagious thought, curses, demonic possession, and mass
hysteria.
Dream states, lucid dreaming, and precognitive dreams.
The Grid and parallel universes as travel routes for mind trips,
brain flips, and time slips.
Come journey through a world as vast and uncharted as the Cosmos. A
journey through the Inner Universe—the human mind.

Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE presents a cogent and insightful overview of
competing theories that relate to the possible origins of ancient Egypt, along
with compelling, new, specific evidence to suggest that its megalithic
structures may be far, far older than traditionally accepted. There is much food
for thought here--even for a seasoned student of the mysteries of ancient
Egypt--well conceived and well presented.” (Laird Scranton, author of Sacred
Symbols of the Dogon )
Product Description:
A view into the sophisticated and highly advanced civilization that
preceded the world of the pharaohs
Presents historical evidence of the civilization ruled by the
“gods” that the Egyptians claimed preceded their own
Explains who these prehistoric people were, what happened to
them, and why they built a series of pyramids along the west bank of the Nile
River
Traditional Egyptologists have long resisted the notion that the
architectural achievements of the Ancient Egyptians required the existence of a
much more sophisticated technology than would have existed at that time. Yet, no
records exist explaining how, why, or who built Egypt’s megalithic monuments and
statues. The ancient Egyptians did, however, record that their civilization
resided in the shadow of a kingdom of “gods” whose reign ended many thousands of
years before their first dynasty. What was this Civilization X that antiquity’s
most accomplished people revered as gods?
The recent discovery of a large stone at one of Egypt’s oldest ruins presents
physical evidence that clearly and distinctly shows the markings of a machining
process far beyond the capabilities of the Ancient Egyptians. Likewise,
experimental modeling of the Great Pyramid’s subterranean chambers and
passageways gives scientific evidence to further support the theory that the
civilization responsible for such magnificent monuments is much older than
presently believed. Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE examines this evidence from
historical and technical points of view, explaining who these prehistoric people
were, what happened to them, why they built their civilization out of granite,
and why they built a series of pyramids along the west bank of the Nile River.
Since their mother’s death, Carter and Sadie have become near
strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother
has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius
Kane. One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research
experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his
family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion
and forces the children to flee for their lives. Soon, Sadie and Carter
discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them--Set--has his
sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey
across the globe--a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their
family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the
pharaohs.
Is it possible that intelligent life
forms visited Earth thousands of years ago, bringing with them technology that
drastically affected the course of history and man s own development? Presented
in the 1968 bestselling book Chariots of the Gods by Erich von Daniken, the
theory of ancient aliens rocked people s beliefs in mankind s progress. Ancient
cave drawings of strange creatures, remains of landing strips in Peru, and
Indian texts that describe the flying machines of the gods were just a few of
the odd archaeological artifacts cited by von Daniken as proof that ancient
astronauts were well known to our ancestors.
Produced with the exclusive cooperation of von Daniken himself, Ancient Aliens
launches all-new expeditions to seek out and evaluate this evidence, with a
concentration on the latest discoveries of the last 30 years, including unusual
DNA findings on man s evolution and newly decoded artifacts from Egypt to Syria
to South America. It is a balanced investigation into a theory some believe
cannot be true, but many agree cannot be ignored.
Renowned European archaeologist and internationally best-selling author, Brian
Haughton is taking readers on the journey of a lifetime in his new book,
History’s Mysteries: People, Places, and Oddities Lost in the Sands of Time.
"In the globe-trotting spirit of Indiana Jones, Brian Haughton has circled the
earth, trying to get to the bottom of some of history’s greatest mysteries.”

History’s Mysteries is an absorbing and meticulously researched exploration of
the archaeology, history, and mysteries of 35 ancient places worldwide.
Haughton’s book takes the reader on an unforgettable journey, from the
8,000-year-old stone circle of Nabta Playa to India’s magical Taj Mahal; from
Rhode Island’s controversial Newport Tower to the enigmatic Royston Cave in the
UK; from the strange medieval castle-village of Rennes-le-Château to the massive
ancient walled city of Great Zimbabwe. Using the latest archaeological evidence,
History’s Mysteries explores:
The incredible archaeological discoveries at the 11,000 year-old
sanctuary of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey.
The heated debate over the 47-million-year-old ‘Ida
Fossil’--could it be the missing link in our evolutionary history?
The reality behind controversial ancient artifacts such as the
Iron Pillar of Delhi, the Oak Island Treasure, and Egypt’s “Dendera Lamps.”
What really happened to the Neanderthals?
With 36 photographs and illustrations, this is the perfect
reference work for those fascinated by the great mysteries of ancient history.
About the Author Brian Haughton is an author and researcher on the subjects of prehistoric
megalithic sites, ancient sacred places, and supernatural folklore. His articles
have appeared in numerous print and internet publications across the world. The
first of his four books, Hidden History: Lost Civilizations, Secret Knowledge,
and Ancient Mysteries was published in January 2007, and has been translated
into nine languages, including German, Russian, Greek, and Thai. Haughton long
ago fell for the lure of the ancient world and tales of the supernatural,
initially inspired by visiting the Neolithic chambered tombs of the Cotswold
Hills in England and by reading the ghost stories of Sheridan Le Fanu and M.R.
James. He currently lives and writes in Greece.

Astrophysical Journal for 10 years. His professional positions include deputy
director of the Center for Extreme Ultraviolet Astrophysics at U.C.-Berkeley;
and visiting scientist at the Max-Planck-Institute für Extraterrestrische Physik
in Garching, Germany. He was also editor in chief of the Journal of Scientific

“Committed atheists, traditional Christians, or hard-core Muslims will no doubt
try to dismiss this book. It is wide ranging, provocative, sometimes
entertainingly whimsical, but always mind-stretching and logically solid. The
Purpose-Guided Universe is one of those rare books that gives serious food for
thought.” -- Prof. Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics,
author of God’s Universe
“At a time when religion- and spirituality-bashing has become a
blood sport within science, it is thrilling to read The Purpose-Guided Universe.
Neither science nor theology can consider itself informed without taking into
account Haisch’s views.” -- Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Words
“If you think that science has nothing to do with God, and vice
versa, read this book--and you just may change your mind.” -- Prof. Peter
Sturrock, Dept. Physics, Stanford Univ.
“Bernard Haisch is the latest entry on this promising scene: an
eminent scientist turned profound philosopher. It merits being read and pondered
by everyone seeks deeper meaning underlying science’s ever more astounding view
of the world.” -- Dr. Ervin Laszlo, author of Science and the Akashic Field
In this engrossing new book, Dr. Bernard Haisch contends that there
is a purpose and an underlying intelligence behind the Universe, one that is
consistent with modern science, especially the Big Bang and evolution. It is
based on recent discoveries that there are numerous coincidences and
fine-tunings of the laws of nature that seem extraordinarily unlikely. A more
rational concept of God is called for. As astrophysicist Sir James Jeans wrote,
“the Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great
machine.”
Despite bestsellers by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and
Sam Harris that have denounced the evils of religion and proclaimed that science
has shown that there is no God, The Purpose-Guided Universe shows how one can
believe in God and science.

Description
In his medical readings, Christian mystic Edgar Cayce (1877-1945)
suggested herbal formulas for treating cancer. During the same period,
American naturopath Harry Hoxsey (1901-1974) was successfully treating
thousands of cancer patients with almost identical formulas. Cancer
Medicine From Nature explores the natural ingredients of these
formulas in detail and from a modern perspective. It presents the
reasoning by which they may be seen as divine gifts of sophisticated
medicine. Cancer Medicine From Nature suggests the hopeful promise of
natural medicine surrounding us all.
It's no wonder that The Power of Now
has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into
over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and
platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey
to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal
growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the
first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its
natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator
of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living
fully in the present.
The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to
connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal,
ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject
to birth and death." Featuring a new preface by the author, this
paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being,
liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.
Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the
truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may
not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing,
supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for
anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means.
Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated
concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of
reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a
different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get
in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.
A Course in Miracles is a source of healing for everyone.
If you're depressed or otherwise mentally unstable, suffering in some
way from your past, or just stuck in some 'unlucky' life predicament,
this book is a way out.
If by chance, there are aspects of your life that seem to trouble you,
then this is a book that you should be reading. If a year ago you had
told me that one simple book held the key to every single problem that
I was faced with in my life, I would have laughed in your face, and
thought that you must be a fool to say such a thing. Yet after a year
of working with the concepts that this book teaches, I feel more
strongly about there ability set things right in my life than ever. I
came into this encounter with this material a jaded skeptic, who
believed in nothing. I had tried, and rejected nearly every path,
seeing truth in none of them. Yes, each seemed at first to be truth,
but the initial lift that they gave proved not to stand the test of
time. This material is different, It seeks to correct the errors in
thinking that are currently causing the conflicts, and disappointment
in our lives before they can happen. It also shows the folly of
approaching the idea of love from the conventionally acceptable way.
That is, reserving love only for those we have judged worthy of it. It
has taught me that this is not love at all, it is only judgment. This
is not a book that you can sit down and read in a night, or even in a
week. The concepts that it teaches are so fundamentally different from
the ones that are currently causing all the problems in your life,
that it will take some time for you to readjust them. Perhaps years,
After all how long has it taken you to get to this point where you
truly longed to find a better way. Did you really expect it would
happen over night? I gave this book 5 stars only because I wasn't
given the option of giving it 1,000 stars. If this book can help
someone as lost as I was, it can most likely help you too. But only if
you actually read it!
[ part of a review by D.P. Hoover ]
Less than fifty thousand years ago
mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no
innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change,
described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all
the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves
appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden
powers.
In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious
"before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the
influences that gave birth to the modern human mind.
His quest takes him on a detective journey from the
stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and
Italy to rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he
finds extraordinary Stone Age art. He uncovers clues that lead him to
the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful hallucinogen
Ayahuasca with shamans, whose paintings contain images of
"supernatural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted
in prehistoric caves. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce
visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the
cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the
possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other
"dimensions." Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted
caves be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human
evolution is not just the "meaningless" process that Darwin
identified, but something more purposive and intelligent that we have
barely begun to understand?
Graham Hancock is the author of the international
bestsellers The Sign and The Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods, and
Heaven's Mirror. His books have sold more than five million copies.
In this highly readable and vividly
illustrated book, best-selling author David Fontana traces the origins
of hundreds of symbols and symbol systems that have impacted human
culture, art, history, literature, and even dreams. From chakras and
the I Ching to the tarot and the zodiac, from mythical beasts to
magical numbers, these are the symbols that shape consciousness.
Visual artists, students, and soul searchers of every stripe will want
to deepen their knowledge of these intriguing icons. Now in a compact
and handy size, it’s more practical than ever for both reference and
inspiration.
Since Jung's Man and His Symbols , several visual glossaries, from Eva
Hangen's Symbols , Our Universal Language , to full-text studies by Joseph
Campbell, have appeared. Drawing not only from nature, or objects, but
sounds, odors, metaphors, gestures, myths, hybrid creatures, mazes,
mystical gardens, mandalas, and celestial bodies Fontana (Univ. of Wales)
offers the most comprehensive array yet. In this work, enhanced by over
300 color illustrations, he aims to stimulate interest and access to the
symbolic world. The work is more than a simple reference tool; opening
chapters reflect a Jungian slant that archetypes from the collective
unconscious project the power of symbols found in art, meditation, and
dreaming. Final chapters describe occult symbolic systems such as Kabbalah,
alchemy, tarot, tantra, astrology, and I Ching. Highly recommended.
