Ancient Mysteries: A review by Brad Hindley
The book ANCIENT MYSTERIES, written by historian Peter James and archaeologist Nick Thorpe, makes a worthy attempt to decipher the puzzles left by civilizations and phenonmena of the past.
The words on the title cover begin: From the Statues on Easter Island to the Pyramids of Egypt...Ancient Astronauts to Lost Roman Armies... These introductive phrases make for a good sell to the would-be reader.
The inquiries into these enigmas are performed insightfully and realistically (although there is an anti-religious bias). The scepticism that is included is, I felt, quite healthy. I would recommend this book to any reader with an interest in history and archeaology, as well as anyone who is willing to study about the title's namesake: Ancient Mysteries, with an eye to realism.
