Is it a mere coincidence that pyramids are found throughout our globe? Did cultures ranging across vast spaces in geography and time; such as the ancient Egyptians; early Bud-dhists; the Maya; Inca; Toltec; and Aztec civilizations of the Americas; the Celts of the British Isles; and even the Mississippi Indians of pre-Columbus Illinois; simply dream the same dreams and envision the same structures? Robert M. Schoch-one of the world's preeminent geologists in recasting the date of the building of the Great Sphinx-believes otherwise. In this dramatic and meticulously reasoned book; Schoch; like anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl in his classic Kon-Tiki; argues that ancient cultures traveled great distances by sea. Indeed; he believes that primeval sailors traveled from the Eastern continent; primarily Southeast Asia; and spread the idea of pyramids across the globe; particularly to the New World of the Americas where they abounded until the days of the Conquistadors.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. What happened to the Confederate Gold?By David S. ClarkWell researched and written this is the true story of the flight south of Jefferson Davis and the core of the Confederate Cabinet after the fall of Richmond. Anyone who has wondered what happened to the bullion and gold coins should read this book. While the conclusions are not final; anyone who is interested in the topic needs to read the research. The love story is an intriguing subplot; but despite the title; this book is mainly about the itinerary and factual experiences of the Confederate treasury and its disbursal. Some is buried in ______ and some went to ______ and some just disappeared. My hunch that some of it ended up in ______ ended up being correct. Civil War researchers and treasure hunters should read it .... some of the gold is still out there!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book.
