Forty years after the publication of Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods, Philip Coppens revisits the question of whether "ancient aliens" contributed to the birth of human civilization.

Jim Clary presents a compelling and riveting digest of beliefs, customs, and mystery in Superstitions of the Sea. Clary focuses on the vast array of strange, mythical, and often comical beliefs of mariners from ancient times to the present. Collecting the various topics for years, Clary found that maritime superstition was weaved throughout every fabric of his study. The folklore was so interesting that it often lured him far away from his subject search and held him spellbound for hours at a time.

What are the Mysteries? For thousands of years the spiritual tradition of Ancient Egypt, Shetaut Neter, �The Egyptian Mysteries,� �The Secret Teachings,� have fascinated, tantalized and amazed the world. At one time exalted and recognized as the highest culture of the world, by Africans, Europeans, Asiatics, Hindus, Buddhists and other cultures of the ancient world, in time it was shunned by the emerging orthodox world religions. Its temples desecrated, its philosophy maligned, its tradition spurned, its philosophy dormant in the mystical Medu Neter, the mysterious hieroglyphic ...

The truth is...there's a science to manifesting and getting what you want. People have been using Candle Magic to build and define entire civilizations. The Romans. The Egyptians. Candle Magic is even in the bible. So what happened? Why were the secrets of Candle Magic kept hidden from us for so long?

When we look at the incredible feats of engineering that our ancestors were able to achieve, it leaves us in awe. Not just because these structures are beautiful and shrouded in mystery, but because they were constructed on a scale we can't comprehend, thousands of years ago.

The Minoan-Mycenaean Empire is one of the most compelling of the lost civilizations, so how does an advanced civilization vanish as if into thin air? This kingdom wasn’t limited to Greece and its Mediterranean tributaries, the Mycenaean Empire of Greek gods extended around the world, even into the Americas. Their technology included analog computers, humanoid robots, talking oracles, flying machines, transparent windows, hot and cold running water, flushing toilets, sewer systems, loose-stone pyramids that pulled water out of the air, and transcontinental ships with voice navigation.

There are cultures that apparently flowered for thousands of years. Some of the cultures that we call primitive have already existed for so long that they seem to have no beginning and no end. Could they actually be immortal? Might not the truth be that during past ages, man has often tried to climb the rungs of the ladder that lead to a high immortal culture but has slipped and fallen? Perhaps we are even now in the process of building a culture that will know immortality on Earth and in heaven.

In Aliens From Space: Astounding New Evidence About Erich Von Daniken's 'Ancient Astronauts' and Their Landings on Earth Today, ufological pioneer Donald Keyhoe looks at the evidence around the world that suggests that ancient aliens came and helped mankind progress towards modern civilization.

In November 2017, an international team of more than 30 scientists published the results of their two-year-long Great Pyramid research project in the journal Nature. Using an advanced imaging technique known as muon radiography, three groups working independently from each other discovered a massive, previously unknown space within the Great Pyramid of Giza. Mainstream Egyptologists suggest that the “Big Void” is simply a stress-relieving device for the Grand Gallery. But, as Scott Creighton reveals, ancient Coptic Egyptian texts describe exactly what the Big Void is.

Most exopolitics books focus on the human politics of dealing with extraterrestrials, but what about the exopolitics of the aliens themselves? We treat them as enigmas as if we didn't have a clue as to their motives, but the primary extraterrestrials who colonized our entire planet thousands of years ago left a rich history of their activities and motives. We interacted with these beings, and we knew them well. Have a look at the exopolitics from the other side.

How many worlds exist within the earth we see every day? Though there are many mysteries we cannot even imagine, the scientific discoveries and inventions of recent decades - along with myth, folklore, and various unexplainable events that have been recorded down through time - suggest to French scientist Jacques Bergier that the surface of the earth may be more complex, and its history more incredible, than is generally supposed.

Kemetic Spirituality, has been in existence for thousands of years, but it is only in the last several decades that the modern practice of Kemetic spirituality has gained momentum. This modern-day revival has retained much of the same ancient Egyptian spiritual practices that hold the key to an elevated existence, and with our contemporary society now plagued with distractions & a loss of connection with our true selves, the need to embrace greater meaning is more pressing than ever.

When the noted thinker, author, and philanthropist Valiant Thor dictated this book almost a century ago, he was just settling into his role as commander of the Venusian forces on Earth. He had actually put in many decades on our planet prior to that, although he was not, as they say, truly “in charge”. Being a relative novice at that time, Thor decided to stick to traditional protocol and studiously avoided mentioning the word Vril in this audiobook.

In Selected by Extraterrestrials, Hollow Earth researcher Floria Benton (Ruth Ann Leedy) lays out her theories about the coming apocalypse, citing research by luminaries such as Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov. This rare Saucerian title was edited by Gray Barker prior to his death and features an introduction by the enlightened sage Valiant Thor.

Comparative studies often reveal similarities between greatly different cultures, even if those cultures are geographically separated by thousands of miles or historically distinct by thousands of years. This has been especially true in religion where similar ideas have been propounded by tribes or clans that have on the surface no contact historically or geographically with one another. For the phenomenologist, this kind of transcultural link or synchronicity is important because it raises the question of how religious ideas emerge and develop over time.

Centuries before whisperings began, of secret knowledge being handed down from the ancient Greeks, through shrouded fraternities such as the Rosicrucians and Freemasons, the Druids were slowly and steadfastly creating priests and philosophers of their own, akin to the Brahmans of India, the Magi of the Persians, as well as the hierophants and scholars of what would eventually become known to the world as the Western Mystery Tradition.
