Ten years' digging in Egypt, 1881-1891 by W. M. Flinders Petrie. Found and studied during his decade in Egypt. Sometimes he's busy offering critiques of the pyramid builders -- marvelling at the genius of some (specifically in the perfection of their measurements), the laziness of others (the imperfection of their measurements) -- sometimes he's delighting in the technology used to cut and drill stone for the pyramids, sometimes he's growing bored with his most recent discovery and moving on, sometimes he's doing the dirty work of a dig, sometimes he's belittling the Fellah he hires to do the backbreaking labour, but he is always trying to uncover meaning in the antiquities he discovers (at least the ones he is interested in). Many consider Flinders-Petrie the father of archaeology because he was the first to take seriously the need for systematic methodology at digs, and there is no denying his contribution in this area of archaeology. But the surprisingly positive opinions of Flinders-Petrie must be tempered with his numerous faults.

• Traces the course of Atlantean civilization through its three empires, as well as the colonies and outposts formed by its survivors in Egypt, Göbekli Tepe, India, Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, and North and South America • Shows how pyramids and other megalithic monuments testify to the survival of a “Sacred Science” of Atlantean origin and how this Sacred Science provided the foundation for esoteric traditions and secret societies throughout the ages • Draws on more than 500 ancient and modern sources and the author’s own personal exploration of hundreds of archaeological sites Exploring more than 100,000 years of Earth’s history, Marco Vigato combines recent discoveries in the the fields of archaeology, geology, anthropology, and genetics with the mystery teachings of antiquity to investigate the true origins of civilization. Establishing the historical and geological reality of Atlantis stretching all the way back to 432,000 BCE, he traces the course of Atlantean civilization through its three empires, revealing how civilization rose and fell several times over this lengthy span of time. The author shows that Atlantis did not vanish “in one terrible day and night” but survived in a variety of different forms well into the historical era. He reveals how the the first Atlantean civilization lasted from 432,000 to 35,335 BCE, the second one from 21,142 to 10,961 BCE, and the third Atlantis civilization--the one celebrated by Plato--collapsed in 9600 BCE, after the Younger Dryas cataclysm. The author examines the role of Atlantean survivors in restarting civilization in different parts of the world, from Göbekli Tepe and Egypt to India, Mesopotamia, and the Americas. He personally documents their colonies and outposts around the globe, offering unique views of the colossal network of pyramids, earthen mounds, and other megalithic monuments they le behind. He shows how these monuments testify to the survival of a sacred science of Atlantean origin, and he documents the survival of the primeval Atlantean tradition through various secret societies into the modern era. Drawing on more than 500 ancient and modern sources and sharing never-before-seen photographs from his own personal exploration of hundreds of archaeological sites around the world, Vigato shows not only that Atlantis was real but that the whole world is now being called to become a New Atlantis and awaken into a new golden age.
