About the book:
Imagine the following scene: Eric Schliemann having to get the permission of scientists, telling them that, based on Homer’s descriptions, he believes he can discover the mythical Troy. Besides laughing their hearts out, do you think there would even be the slightest chance for Schliemann to have gotten their permission? And it is not just Troy, Knossos, or the Mycenae, the most major archaeological findings in the world, despite the references in the ancient texts, that was a complete surprise for the scientific establishment. If that establishment had full control, all those discoveries would never have happened. The primary purpose of this book is to present evidence supporting the theory of a relatively advanced civilization during prehistory, which was lost due to some natural catastrophe. This is mainly attempted by giving knowledge of the ancient people, which they are not justified to have had, and similarities between distant cultures that should not have existed. How advanced was that civilization? It is somewhat more advanced than Europe during the 18th century AC. Secondarily, but no less important, there are the following goals: to reveal our civilization's vast danger from cosmic impacts and help realize how much more frequent natural catastrophes are than we think. Shoot down the theories regarding Indo-Europeans & foreign invaders in Greece, proving that the Greeks have preserved knowledge from events in this area many thousand years before their time. Shows that mythology hides big doses of historical truth within itself as it describes actual events, although often distorted by the human imagination. This truth may be of great help to the work of science in the investigation of the unknown aspects of our past.•To trouble the reader on how much we differ from men of past eras, even from other human species, contrary to the common belief that we are vastly "superior".•To arouse the reader’s interest in the ancient mysteries which spread like a fog over the history of the human civilization. Science, after all, accepts that large-scale catastrophes often occur while man walks the earth, so is it doubtful that human society has had a setback at least once in the past?
On the contrary, it is probably the usual thing. On a smaller scale than the one proposed here, there have been many setbacks in human civilization, like the domination of the Romans (when the Hellenistic Age collapsed), the collapse of the Romans themselves later on, the rise of Islam, and more. The funny part is that science accepts the Indo-European theory, meaning that an Indo-European race started traveling around the world during prehistoric times, spreading civilizations but leaving no trace behind before mysteriously disappearing. But how far is the Indo-European theory from that of a lost civilization? Not much, as one difference is the period, and the other is the geographical area (the present
