Ancient Gods

Jim Willis

Description

Where do we come from? What are the origins of modern civilization? Do the world's pyramids, the Nazca Lines, Easter Island statues, and other enigmatic structures, archeological wonders, and geographic anomalies contain evidence of ancient gods?

Sifting through the historical and archaeological evidence, Ancient Gods: Lost Histories, Hidden Truths, and the Conspiracy of Silence by ordained minister Jim Willis probes the myths, stories, history, and facts of ancient civilizations, lost technologies, past catastrophes, archetypical astronauts, and bygone religions to tease out the truth of our distant past and modern existence. It takes and in-depth look at the facts, fictions, and controversies of our ancestors, origins, who we are as a people—and who might have come before us.

Ancient Gods: tackles more than 60 nagging stories of ancient gods, ancestors, alien visitors, theories and explanations, such as ...

40,000 years ago, why did our ancestors across Europe and Asia crawl deep underground—sometimes as much as a mile—to paint magnificent images on the walls of caves?

How did the megalithic temple site called Göbekli Tepe come to be built—11,600 years before the agricultural revolution and before humans learned how to grow their own food?

How were massive stones, weighing up to four tons, dragged 140 miles across England to build Stonehenge?

Who—and why—were pyramids built on the equatorial band circling the earth?

What does modern DNA analysis tell us of mankind's heritage?

Are we to believe the Ancient Alien Theory?

Along the way, Willis examines human history and searches for the sparks of contemporary society. It also includes a helpful bibliography and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness.

A CKNOWLEDGMENTS
F irst and foremost, a big thank you to my wife, Barbara. None of my books could have been written without her. People sometimes ask us what we talk about all day, all alone and living in the woods by ourselves. Well, we talk about stuff like this. And a whole lot more!
I have many mentors whom I have never met. Two of them are Andrew Collins and Graham Hancock. Their meticulously detailed, thoroughly researched, boots on the ground authenticity led them to write books that ask the kinds of questions that have no doubt barred them from many an archeological dig. They have no tolerance for the Conspiracy of Silence. When I needed help on a project I was working on while researching this book, I wrote to Andrew to ask him a question. He got back to me within the hour. Although traditional experts often banish them both to the fringe, I have come to believe they are holding aloft the torch of truth by asking penetrating questions and daring to go where the facts lead instead of pleasing the establishment. May their kind always be with us!
Albert Goodyear is a respected archeologist who risked his reputation by daring to take the Topper Site in South Carolina to new heights. Or should I say depths? By delving beneath the Clovis layer, he pushed open the door to some amazing insights into who we really are. He has been an inspiration to many of us.
Dean Radin, Ph.D., is the chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. One Sunday afternoon, I wrote to him concerning a technical question I had about Transcendental Monism. He responded that very afternoon. The good ones always seem open and welcoming, even to unknown writers from a small town in South Carolina. He, and others li
