My favorite novel by Graham Hancock, Fingerprints of the Gods takes the reader on an archaeological journey. Traveling to almost every ancient civilization, Hancock searches for clues which reveal a lost civilization. Here is a good summary.
Graham Hancock does not disappoint in Heaven’s Mirror, a book about lost civilizations. Containing hundred of beautiful images and graphs, the reader will be convinced that perhaps there do exist civilizations that have vanished from the history books. In addition, Hancock does a great job in this book, and in his other books, at describing the astronomical phenomena of precession. Here is brief video of Hancock talking about the book.
There exists a theory, called the Orion Correlation Theory, which claims that the Egyptians built the pyramids to mimic the asterism of Orion’s Belt. Thus, the Nile River would correspond to the Milky Way. This theory was first publish in a book, The Orion Mystery: Unlocking the Secrets of the Pyramids, by Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert. This work provides a new perspective on the importance of astronomy to the ancient Egyptians. Anyone who loves ancient mysteries should give this book a read.
There are some interesting theories about Egyptians and Cymatics. Check this link for more information. Perhaps the Egyptians knew about the formation of such patterns (as can be seen in this video) and thought them “holy.”
