Description
AWE-INSPIRING AND ENIGMATIC, THE SACRED CITIES AND HOLY PLACES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD HAVE STOOD MUTE FOR MILLENNIA. YET WHAT MYSTERIES WOULD THEY REVEAL IF THEY COULD SPEAK?
In HEAVEN’S MIRROR, author Graham Hancock continues the quest begun in his No. 1 international bestseller FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS to rediscover the hidden legacy of mankind – the revelation that the cultures we term ancient were, in fact, the heirs to a far older forgotten civilization, and the inheritors of its archaic wisdom…
Working with the photographer Santha Faiia, his wife, Hancock traces a network of sacred sites around the globe on a spectacular voyage of discovery that takes us from the pyramids and temples of ancient Egypt to the enigmatic statues of Easter Island, from the haunting ruins of pre-Columbian America to the splendours of Angkor Wat, in order to crack the code of our lost ancestors. It is an odyssey that leads to sunken monuments and hidden chambers a journey through myth and magic, and astounding archaeological revelations, that forces us to rethink our entire conception of the origins of civilization.
Much more than a sequel to FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS, HEAVEN’S MIRROR is a plunge into the spirituality of the ancients a search for the revelation of a secret written in the language of astronomy, and recorded in the very foundations of the holiest sites of antiquity…
A secret which speaks of a mysterious connection between earth and heaven… A secret which transforms temples into stars and men into gods. The deepest and darkest secret of our forgotten past.
