Are there pyramids in the Canary Islands? World-famous explorer Thor Heyerdahl thought so, and created a tourist park around them. Other investigators have found identical structures in Sicily, Mauritius, and the Azores. Step pyramids, made of lava stones, on islands thousands of miles apart... Who built these monuments? When did they build them, and why? To answer these questions, investigative reporter Cornel M.A. van Strijp takes you on a trip along the volcanic islands where the so-called 'black pyramids' can be found. During this voyage of discovery, you will encounter many controversial ideas and passionate beliefs about mysterious structures. You will also find completely disregarded scientific research that holds the key to understanding the phenomenon. By the end of the book, you will be able to decide for yourself if the media claims about these step pyramids are true... If you are a 'believer', this book will challenge your convictions. If you are a 'doubter', it can help you decide. But whatever your thoughts on the matter, "The Mystery of the Black Pyramids... Solved!" is a must-read if you enjoy historical enigmas. NOTE: This edition in ebook format has over 100 color illustrations.

First published in 1877, "A Miracle in Stone" is a fascinating and extensive treatise on the Great Pyramid of Giza written by Joseph Seiss. Still considered a primary text of pyramidology, this intriguing book will appeal to those with an interest in pyramids and their persisting mysteries, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Joseph Augustus Seiss (March 18, 1823 - June 20, 1904) was an American theologian and Lutheran minister most famous for his contributions to pyramidology and dispensationalism. Contents include: "General Facts and Scientific Features", "Modern Discoveries and Biblical Connections", "Analysis of Traditions, Opinions, and Results", "Supplemental Observations", and "Extracts from Recent Writers". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

The continent of Atlantis and Mu-Land, the earliest civilization that disappeared by the great Flood, has never been found, according to my paper presented at an international academic conference in early September 2005: “Mega-tsunami in northeastern Taiwan at least 12,000 years ago”, just to find out the earliest civilization lost by mankind, it can be inferred from ancient cultural relics that these two are one Taiwan Island. Another 6,000 years ago, the explosion Volcano of the Seven-Star Mountain in Taipei lasted for several years, causing Taiwan's ancestors to flee and spread to the islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, forming a vast territory of the Austronesian language family.

This early work by the British archaeologist, Flinders Petrie, was originally published in 1883 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh' is a scholarly work on the surveying and construction of one of the world's ancient wonders. William Matthew Flinders Petrie was born on 3rd July 1853 in Kent, England, son of Wlilliam Petrie and Ann née Flinders. He showed an early interest in the field of archaeology and by his teenage years was surveying local Roman monuments near his family home. Flinders Petrie continued to have many successes in Egypt and Palestine throughout his career, most notably, his discovery of the Mernepte stele, a stone tablet depicting scenes from ancient times. His excellent methodology and plethora of finds earned him a Knighthood for his services to archaeology in 1923.
