Reviews

"For a quarter-century, Schoch's analysis of weathering at Giza and Bauval's archaeoastronomic discoveries have challenged the consensus on prehistory, not merely of Egypt but of the world. This book expertly summarizes their case and its triumphant vindication in the 12,000-year-old sanctuary of Goebekli Tepe. The question is no longer whether they are right but where archaeology should go from here." * Joscelyn Godwin, author ofAtlantis and the Cycles of Time *
"Schoch and Bauval present a well-written, well-argued and well-illustrated (including 16 colour plates) thesis which deserves serious consideration." * Fortean Times *
