From the Book Cover
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 international best-seller Fingerprints of the Gods to rediscover the
hidden legacy of mankind--the revelation that the cultures we refer to as
ancient were, in fact, the heirs to a far older forgotten civilization and the
inheritors of its archaic, mystical wisdom.
Working with photographer Santha Faiia, 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 splendors 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.
The first fully illustrated book by Graham Hancock, Heaven's Mirror is a
stunning and illuminating tour into the spirituality of the ancients--a search
for a secret written in the language of astronomy and recorded in the very
foundations of the holiest sites of antiquity:
- A secret that speaks of a mysterious connection between earth and heaven.
- A secret that transforms temples into stars and men into gods.
- The deepest and darkest secret of our forgotten past.
[From the back cover...]
What would these fifteen gigantic Moai on Easter Island say if they could
speak?
The only voice left to these statues and other ancient monoliths is that of the
astronomical alignments that govern them. These alignments point to a
common link, reveal a shockingly sophisticated understanding of the solar
system, and perhaps even encompass the Holy Grail of immortality.
