EBook Description

Popular Lost Cities author David Childress opens the door to the amazing world of ancient technology, from the computers of the ancient world to the “flying machines of the gods.” Technology of the Gods explores the technology that was allegedly used in Atlantis and the theory that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was originally a gigantic power station. Childress also uncovers many other mysteries, including: *

the technology of ancient flight *

how the ancients used electricity *

megalithic building techniques *

the use of crystal lenses and the fire from the gods *

ancient evidence of high-tech weapons, including atomic weapons *

the role of modern inventors, such as Nikola Tesla, in bringing ancient technology into modern use *

impossible artifacts, and more, much more. Childress has done it again! From beginning to end, Technology of the Gods is filled with facts, keen observations and tales that challenge modern assumptions in a humorous, intelligent and compelling way that is quintessential Childress.

For more than 3,000 years, Egypt was a great civilization that thrived along the banks of the Nile River. But when its cities crumbled to dust, Egypt’s culture and the secrets of its hieroglyphic writings were
also lost. The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt explains how archaeologists have pieced together their discoveries to slowly reveal the history of Egypt’s people, its pharaohs, and its golden days.

EBook Description

The South American Jungle Guards Many Secrets…

and a remarkable site nestled between two towering Andean peaks, hidden from human eyes for thousands years.

Dig Deeper…

through layers of rock and mystery, through centuries of dark, forgotten legends.

Into Ancient Catacombs…

where ingenious traps have been laid to ensnare the careless and unsuspecting; where earth-shattering discoveries — and wealth beyond imagining — could be the reward for those with the courage to face the terrible unknown.

Something is Waiting

here where the perilous journey ends, in the cold, shrouded heart of a breathtaking necropolis; something created by Man, yet not humanly possible. Something wondrous. Something terrifying.

Ryan Grim

The meth epidemic peaked a long, long time ago.

NAFTA opened the border and created a bonanza for cocaine and meth traffickers-just as President Clinton knew it would.

President Reagan may have inadvertently caused the crack epidemic.

Kids today are doing fewer illegal drugs than kids from any time in the recent past, and for a surprising reason.
