Sinossi
«Una statua gigantesca, con il corpo di leone e la testa di uomo, guarda vero est dall'Egitto lungo il trentaduesimo parallelo. È un monolito scavato nella pietra calcarea dell'altopiano di Giza? È consumato ed eroso, solcato da fenditure e profondamente deteriorato. Eppure niente di quanto è giunto fino a noi dall'antichità può uguagliarne la potenza e la grandezza, la maestà e il mistero, o quell'aria vigile così cupa e ipnotica. È la Sfinge. Un tempo era ritenuta una divinità immortale. Poi calò l'oblio e cadde in un sonno incantato. Gli anni passarono: migliaia di anni? Ma la statua rimase lì, assorta e misteriosa, avvolta nel suo silenzio.»

This is the fifth book I have read on this topic “area”. I realise I am starting to build a personal mental “library” of references, terms, and facts about the “Enigmas of Egypt”. Perhaps this is something shared by those who feel the need to learn more about this topic with each book they read. @@ Leggi tutto
My visit to Michael in the fall of 1997 had him recommending and me reading some alternative theories of ancient history, two of the books being by Graham Hancock. One, 'Fingerprints of the Gods', was about the evidence for an inhabited continent under the Antarctic ice cap in remote antiquity. The
This is the kind of book that's dangerous. It really is a good story and therefore easy to get caught up in. If you take a step back and really look at the evidence, you see how it's not flimsy, it's nonexistent.
