Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind

Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as “the greatest riddle in human history”, all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious “before-and-after moment” and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind.

His quest takes him on a journey of adventure from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain and Italy to remote rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa where he finds a treasure trove of extraordinary Stone Age art, ending in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, where he drinks the powerful plant hallucinogen Ayahuasca with Indian shamans, whose paintings contain images of “supernatural beings” identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves and rock shelters.

Could these “supernaturals” be the ancient teachers of mankind? And is human evolution in fact more purposeful and intelligent that we have barely even begun to understand?

Tesla & The Cabbage Patch Kids: Exploring the lost Empire of Tartaria and the Reset of 1776

£12.99

The years is 1776 and across the world a reset is taking place, at the hands of the Elite. Their aim – to remove all traces of the Tartarian Empire!

Mud-floods, fire and earthquakes destroyed a great deal of the empire and the civil and the Napoleonic wars killed-off many of its inhabitants. Those that survived were incarcerated within the newly established asylums and prisons, hidden away from those that now lived in the New World. Their children were taken and distributed to every major town and city, not just to be used as slave labour, but to repopulate too!

Centres of Healing became cathedrals and churches; technology that harnessed energy from the Aether was destroyed and then came the Industrial Revolution.

A repopulation program known as The Cabbage Patch Babies, produced thousands of human clones, that would grow up never knowing anything of the fallen empire.Then came Nikola Tesla, with inventions mirroring Tartarian technology, whose death would remain shrouded in mystery for all eternity.

Today we are living through another reset, at the hands of the descendants of the Anunnaki. This book serves as a stark warning of history repeating itself, with the hope of awakening as many people as possible, before it’s too late!

The Ancient Mysteries: A Sourcebook of Sacred Texts

£19.34

Zeus and the other gods of shining Olympus were in reality divine only by popular consent. Over the course of time Olympian luster diminished in favor of religious experiences more immediate to the concerns of people living in an increasingly cosmopolitan ancient world. These experiences were provided by the mysteries, religions that flourished particularly during the Hellenistic period and were secretly practiced by groups of adherents who decided, through personal choice, to be initiated into the profound realities of one deity or another. Unlike the official state religions, in which people were expected to make an outward show of allegiance to the local gods, the mysteries emphasized an inwardness and privacy of worship within a closed band of initiates.
In this book, Marvin W. Meyer explores the sacrifices and prayers, the public celebrations and secret ceremonies, the theatrical performances and literary works, the gods and goddesses that were a part of the mystery religions of Greece in the seventh century B.C. to the Judaism and Christianity of the Roman world of the seventh century A.D.

The Book of Symbols. Reflections on Archetypal Images

£23.91

The Book of Symbols combines original and incisive essays about particular symbols with representative images from all parts of the world and all eras of history. The highly readable texts and over 800 beautiful full-color images come together in a unique way to convey hidden dimensions of meaning. Each of the ca. 350 essays examines a given symbol’s psychic background, and how it evokes psychic processes and dynamics. Etymological roots, the play of opposites, paradox and shadow, the ways in which diverse cultures have engaged a symbolic image―all these factors are taken into consideration.

Authored by writers from the fields of psychology, religion, art, literature, and comparative myth, the essays flow into each other in ways that mirror the psyche’s unexpected convergences. There are no pat definitions of the kind that tend to collapse a symbol; a still vital symbol remains partially unknown, compels our attention and unfolds in new meanings and manifestations over time. Rather than merely categorize, The Book of Symbols illuminates how to move from the visual experience of a symbolic image in art, religion, life, or dreams to directly experiencing its personal and psychological resonance.

The Book of Symbols sets new standards for thoughtful exploration of symbols and their meanings, and will appeal to a wide range of readers: artists, designers, dreamers and dream interpreters, psychotherapists, self-helpers, gamers, comic book readers, religious and spiritual searchers, writers, students, and anyone curious about the power of archetypal images.

The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge

£7.47

Whilst living amongst Peruvian Indians, anthropologist Jeremy Narby learned of their phenomenal knowledge of plants and biochemical interactions, gained under the influence of the hallucinogen ayahuasca. Despite his initial scepticism, Narby found himself engaged in an increasingly obsessive quest. He researched cutting-edge scholarship in subjects as diverse as molecular biology, shamanism, neurology and mythology, which led him inexorably to the conclusion that the Indians’ claims were literally true: to a consciousness prepared with drugs, biochemical knowledge could indeed be transmitted, through DNA itself.

The Falsification of History: Our Distorted Reality

£21.56

This book relates the current, insidious plight facing the human race as a direct result of a grand deception that has been imposed upon it for tens of thousands of years if not longer. This has been perpetrated by the systematic, ongoing falsification of history in much the same way as perpetrated by the powers that be in the suspiciously prophetic novel ‘1984’, by George Orwell. We have all been deceived on a monumental scale by a tiny clique of people who by their own birthright and bloodlines absolutely believe that they have the divine right to rule over us by whatever method best suits their purposes. In order to achieve this they have lied, deceived, murdered and even committed genocide down the millennia in an attempt to bring their ultimate goal to fruition. Find out about the use of drugs, vaccinations, micro-chipping, mind control, trans-humanism and 24/7 distractions such as non-stop sports, entertainments and the invasive ‘celebrity culture’ that attempts to pervade our whole lives.

The History of the Peloponnesian War (Classics)

£12.49

‘With icy remorselessness, it puts paid to any notion that the horrors of modern history might be an aberration – for it tells of universal war, of terrorism, revolution and genocide’ Tom Holland

The long life-and-death struggle between Athens and Sparta plunged the ancient Greek world into decades of war. Thucydides was an Athenian and achieved the rank of general in the earlier stages of the war, and in this detailed, first-hand contemporary account he writes as both a soldier and a historian. He applies a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling a factual record of a ruinous conflict that would eventually destroy the Athenian empire.

The Maya Civilization: An Enthralling Overview of Maya History, Starting From the Olmecs’ Domination of Ancient Mexico to the Arrival of Hernan Cortes and the Spanish Conquest

£11.01

Are the Mayans still around?

What is the importance of Chichen Itza’s discovery?

How did this mighty civilization fall?

If you want answers to these intriguing questions, then keep reading…

The Mayans created an amazing society, full of surprises that keep us guessing how these people came to be and why – exactly – their civilization fell. Theories abound, archeologic discoveries both perplex and inspire us, but one thing remains: their story reads much more like our recent past than you’d ever imagined!

This book takes readers on a journey that few have taken, deep into the Mayans’ lineage, customs, politics, and daily life. Join us as we delve deep into the Maya story, uncovering stories, facts, and theories about this important – yet perplexing – society:

The bitter irony of Catholicism’s spread in Maya culture
Who was the “mother civilization” of Mesoamerica?
Did they really practice human sacrifice?
A different kind of calendar…
What inspired the rise of city-states in this ancient culture?
Did the Maya develop the wheel?
How – and what did they use – to make paint
Were the Maya peaceful?
Inventions galore – but what did they invent that we still use today?
Why – and how – did the Spanish decide to conquer the Maya?
Did a megadrought kill off the Mayans?
Heavens, Earth, and Underground: Not just for Hobbits
How did the large cities influence Mayan society – and who ruled them?

You’ll learn some fun facts – but will also be challenged with archaeologically-puzzling discoveries and learn of one man who escaped death-by-politics. (Exile wasn’t good enough for some Mayan leaders; they meant to exterminate those who opposed them!)

The Middle Kingdoms: A New History of Central Europe

£13.59

‘Fascinating, masterful … gems scattered throughout the book’ Peter Frankopan, Spectator

‘Quirkily original but also scholarly and authoritative, to be read for pleasure and serious reflection’ Telegraph

*The dramatic history of Europe’s shape-shifting centre, from the author of The Habsburgs*

Central Europe is not just a space on a map but also a region of shared experience – of mutual borrowings, impositions and misapprehensions. From the Roman Empire onwards, it has been the target of invasion from the east. In the Middle Ages, Central Europeans cast their eastern foes as ‘the dogmen’. They would later become the Turks, Swedes, Russians and Soviets, all of whom pulled the region apart and remade it according to their own vision.

Competition among Europe’s Middle Kingdoms yielded repeated cultural effervescences. This was the first home of the High Renaissance outside Italy, the cradle of the Reformation, the starting point of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, the symphony and modern nationalism. It was a permanent battleground too for religious and political ideas.

Most recent histories of Central Europe confine themselves to the lands in between Germany and Russia, homing in on Poland, Hungary, and what is now the Czech Republic. This new history embraces the whole of Central Europe, including the German lands as well as Ukraine and Switzerland. The story of Europe’s Middle Kingdoms is a reminder of Central Europe’s precariousness, of its creativity and turbulence, and of the common cultural trends that make these lands so distinctive.

The Mystery of Doggerland: Atlantis in the North Sea

£11.27

A scientific exploration of the advanced ancient civilization known as Doggerland or Fairland that disappeared 5,000 years ago.

New marine archaeological evidence has revealed the remains of a large land mass to the north of Britain that hosted an advanced civilization 1,000 years before the recognized “first” civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, or India. Remembered in Celtic legends as Tu-lay, and referred to by geologists as Doggerland or Fairland, this civilization began at least as early as 4000 BC but was ultimately destroyed by rising sea levels, huge tsunamis, and a terrible viral epidemic released from melting permafrost during a cataclysmic period of global warming.

Exploring the latest archaeological findings and recent scientific analysis of Doggerland’s underwater remains, Graham Phillips shows that this ancient culture had sophisticated technology and advanced medical knowledge. He looks at evidence detected with remote sensing and seismic profiling of many artificial structures, complex settlements, gigantic earthworks, epic monoliths, and huge stone circles dated to more than 5,500 years ago, preserved beneath the ground and on the ocean floor. He examines evidence of Doggerland’s high-temperature technology, showing how its people were able to melt solid rock to create vitrified structures far stronger than concrete, a technique that modern science cannot replicate. He looks at the small part of the Fairland land mass that still exists: Fair Isle, a tiny island some 45 miles north of the Orkney Islands of Scotland. Phillips shows how, when Fairland sank beneath the waves around 3100 BC, its last survivors traveled by boat to settle in the British Isles, where they established the megalithic culture that built Stonehenge.

Revealing the vast archaeological evidence in support of the existence of Doggerland, as well as its threads of influence in early cultures around the world, Phillips also shows how the fate of this sophisticated ancient culture is a warning from history: the cataclysmic events that happened to the first civilizations could happen again as the world heats up.

The New Covenant of Damascus

£11.74

The New Covenant of Damascus gives great insight into the beliefs and practices of the Essenes. In this book you will read a fresh English translation of the Damascus Document, Community Rule, and other Dead Sea Scrolls. You will learn that they believed in the Messiah who was to be God incarnate, virgin born and have a First and Second Coming. They taught the first time the Messiah comes He will die to pay for our sin nature and reconcile us to the Father. They even predicted this event would occur in AD 32! You can see that the apostles John, Peter, and Paul taught exactly the same doctrine.

The scrolls revealed in this book were kept out of the public view until the late 1990’s. After reading them you will understand why. In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul taught that eventually all Israel would be saved. I believe this will be, in part, because the Dead Sea Scrolls reveal exactly what the original Judaism taught about the Messiah.
