WHAT THIS BOOK CONTAINS: There are several people from various parts of the world who are associated with all kinds of mysterious manifestations, but none of them can compete or compare with this man of whom this book is all about, and who has been assessed and discovered to be the greatest of them all, as you would easily agree with, by the time you finish reading through this book. Mysterious persons all over the world are usually known for one or two wonderful things they are often associated with. On the contrary this book describes in detail, not one or two, but a total of thirteen different wonders all attributed to this one and the same person . One of these wonders, which is by no means the greatest, is that when he desires to see or meet with someone, no matter how far away from him the person might be, he immediately finds the person standing right in front of him within a few seconds. Before you begin to wonder what a great magician this man must be as you read along, you would discover that this man is also an author of many books; and one of his books happens to be the very book The Blessed Virgin Mary and Holy Mother of Jesus came with when She appeared at Idu Karmo, Abuja, Nigeria on the 25th of March 2017 (Feast of the Annunciation of Our Lord) and announced to the crowd that all should look for that book to read. This apparition which is verifiable has been corroborated. No mysterious person has ever written a book that heaven itself has given approval of in this manner. Even this alone has placed him above every other mysterious person on earth. In one of the books of this man, ( excerpts of which are contained in this book), he explains that what takes a person to heaven is not the ability to perform great miracles, but rather obedience to the Four UNLESS which Jesus Christ preached about in the Holy Bible: one of which is

"The story of how the Musqueam First Nation have used cultural objects to take control of their history and land. Archaeologists studying human remains and burial sites of North America's Indigenous peoples have discovered more than information about the beliefs and practices of cultures--they have also found controversy. These Mysterious People shows how Western ideas and attitudes about Indigenous peoples have transformed one culture's ancestors, burial grounds, and possessions into another culture's 'specimens,' 'archaeological sites,' and 'ethnographic artifacts,' in the process disassociating Natives from their own histories. Focusing on the Musqueam people and a contentious archaeological site in Vancouver, These Mysterious People details the relationship between the Musqueam and researchers from the late-nineteenth century to the present. Susan Roy traces the historical development of competing understandings of the past and reveals how the Musqueam First Nation used information derived from archaeological finds to assist the larger recognition of territorial rights. She also details the ways in which Musqueam legal and cultural expressions of their own history--such as land claim submissions, petitions, cultural displays, and testimonies--have challenged public accounts of Aboriginal occupation and helped to define Aboriginal rights in Canada. An important and engaging examination of methods of historical representation, These Mysterious People analyses the ways historical evidence, material culture, and places themselves have acquired legal and community authority"--Publisher descriptio

A front row seat to the breaking news, photos and hype surrounding history's most mysterious disappearances. Breaking History books offer a front row seat to history as it broke (like “breaking news”) and give the blow-by-blow of historical discovery—what we learned, when we learned it, who made the discovery, and how. Vanished! is an illustrated tour of history’s most confounding cases of disappearance from Amelia Earhart to Jimmy Hoffa; DB Cooper; Alcatraz escapists Frank Morris, John Anglin, and Clarence Algin; Jim Thompson; Judge Joseph Force Crater; and more. Starting with the first 30 days surrounding each incident, and then looking at efforts up to this very day to solve each case, this book covers in photos and text history’s most perplexing vanishings.
