A skeptical treatment of popular "ancient mysteries," including unproven claims about Atlantis, pyramid powers, cosmic catastophes, world-wide floods and ancient astronauts. Written by a professor of history who has participated in many archeological expeditions, this book tries to respond to the many fantastic claims circulated about ancient history. Drawing on archeological literature, the author shows inconsistancies in many of the claims, including those of Erich von Daniken, the "grandfather" of the Ancient Astronaut movement, and "cosmic catastrophism" proponent Immanual Velikovsky. The author shows how the theorists distort archeological evidence to support their conjecture while ignoring the historical context of that evidence. Includes footnotes, index and extensive references. -- Glenn Campbell
