Ancient Aliens: Riddles of Science

Today we pride ourselves on our mighty scientific civilization, yet the truth is that we are not the first to achieve such heights. Penicillin in Egypt thousands of years ago? Blood transfusions among primitive Australian aborigines? Mysterious and startlingly accurate maps of the globe long before Columbus? Atomic theory among the ancients? Mind-boggling revelations on the walls of prehistoric caves? Here is a book that at last pierces the darkness before the dawn of history, to reveal the emerging shapes of beings from beyond the stars, who may well have brought knowledge to Earth. If you are afraid of having all of your ideas turned upside down, do not read this powerful book - a must-read for anyone wondering "what it's all about." Science is ancient, not new! This is a realization made broadly accessible only in the last few hundred years, with discoveries in both archaeology and other sciences. Really, though, this is the "mystery" behind so many others - mythic, religious, or otherwise. Most other books in the genre engage in a lot of speculation, trying unsuccessfully to identify specific societies at work behind these ancient mysteries (Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria, etc.). Tomas' breakthrough is simply to stick to the many facts proving that science is, indeed, probably older than religion. He lets the facts speak for themselves, without overreaching, and in doing so makes a huge contribution to the emergent process of reclaiming our lost heritage.
