A tribute to the pioneers of Archaeology and their work.
This book was first published in 1949 and then enlarged in 1967. Altogether it has been translated into 26 languages and read by many millions of people.It is easy to see why.

This book traces the origins of Archaeology and those who were involved in the great discoveries. Commencing with the great statues of Pompeii, Troy, Mycenae and Crete, we then move on to the Pyramids - with sections about all those who became involved from Napoleon to Carter. Next we find the great Towers of Assyria, Babylon and Sumeria before concluding with the great Temples of the Aztecs, Mayas and Toltecs.

This is a fascinating book which is able to give the layman an expert's insight into the greatest archaeological finds of history.

Product Description
Summery

This book was written by Metaphysicist and Bestselling Author Dr. Theresa M. Kelly. The island or continent of Mu or “Lemuria” was thought to be located in the Pacific Ocean. This continent was believed to be only slightly smaller then Asia Minor. In an unknown time this continent was thought to have sunk into the Pacific due to massive earthquakes and little is known about its inhabitants. Artifacts have been found pointing to this advanced culture with simple living habitats. In this section of the book we will look at archeological findings, oceanographical standing evidence and controversial theories pointing to the continent of Mu as fact and far from fiction.


Contents

* 1.0 Scientific Evidence Pacific Ocean - Mu
* 1.1 Scientific Evidence Indian Ocean - Mu Connector
* 1.2 Archaeological Evidence Pacific Ocean – Mu
* 1.3 Archaeological Evidence Varying Relationship – Mu
* 1.4 Lemuria VS Mu – The Controversy
* 1.5 Recent Evidence

Excerpt: "Now there was also the discovery of a vast layer of "clean white ash" on the Pacific floor a few hundred miles from Central and South America extending 750 miles west and 825 miles south of the equator (N.Y. Times of 4/12/59). E. Anders and D.N. Limber ("Origin of the Worzel Deep-sea Ash" in Nature, Vol. 184) believe the ash to be of terrestrial, volcanic origin, and that must have "recorded a notable event in the Earth's history." This ash layer very likely may have been related in some way to the sinking of Mu. Geophysicist Amos Nur of Stanford University stated in 1977 that a "Pacifica" was a distinct probability, as crust centers originate under continental masses, except in the Pacific, and continued to state that "currently submerged plateaus in the ocean near Australia, including the Minihiki plateau and the Ong-Java area, are remnants of this past land mass." Now several other explorers have found guyots (sea-mounts), one being 11,000 ft. high, under the Pacific waters and since guyots can only be formed by wave action, this is proof-positive such land as Mu sank immensely into the depths of the ocean.
