As much as 7,000 years older than the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, its strange buildings and rings of T-shaped monoliths—built with stones weighing from 10 to 15 tons—show a level of sophistication and artistic achievement unmatched until the rise of the great civilizations of the ancient world, such as Sumer, Egypt, and Babylon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChronicling his travels to Göbekli Tepe and surrounding sites, Andrew Collins details the layout, architecture, and exquisite relief carvings of ice age animals and human forms found at this 12,000-year-old megalithic complex, now recognized as the oldest stone architecture in the world. He explores how it was built as a reaction to a global cataclysm—the Great Flood in the Bible—and explains how it served as a gateway and map to the sky-world, the place of first creation, reached via a bright star in the constellation of Cygnus.

In his search for Adam’s legendary Cave of Treasures, the author discovers the Garden of Eden and the remains of the Tree of Life—in the same sacred region where Göbekli Tepe is being uncovered today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46544987160812,"sku":"9781591431428","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16848623482754.jpg?v=1749787734"},{"product_id":"karahan-tepe-by-andrew-collins-9781591434788","title":"Karahan Tepe","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn in-depth investigation of the ancient structures at Karahan Tepe, its builders, and its cosmic shamanic purpose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExamines the intricate carvings, chambers, and structures, revealing the site’s acoustical properties, shamanic symbolism, and astronomical alignments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReveals how Karahan Tepe was used by shamans to connect with the Milky Way’s Galactic bulge in its role as the head of the cosmic serpent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExplains how the site’s builders, who created the world’s first post–Ice Age civilisation, are remembered in myth and legend as the Watchers and Nephilim of Jewish religious tradition and as the Anunnaki gods of Sumerian mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConsidered the most important archaeological discovery of the 21st century, Karahan Tepe is an enormous complex of stone structures in southeastern Turkey covering an estimated ten acres.

He explores her relationship with her brother Amenemhat IV, her sister Neferuptah, and their father Amenemhat III, regarded as one of the most beloved pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom.

Examining the modern-day resurrection of Sobekneferu among the occultists and mystics of Victorian London, Collins shows how she is the true inspiration behind every ancient Egyptian female queen who comes back to life after her tomb is found—as featured first in Bram Stoker’s shocking 1903 novel \u003cem\u003eThe Jewel of the Seven Stars\u003c\/em\u003e and later in several modern blockbuster movies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRevealing how Sobekneferu has left a lasting impact on culture and occulture through the ages despite being nearly erased from history, Collins shows how her continuing legacy is perhaps, ultimately, her true resurrection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46632222490860,"sku":"9781591434450","price":41.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16878843482754.jpg?v=1751994092"},{"product_id":"origins-of-the-gods-by-gregory-l-little-9781591434092","title":"Origins of the Gods","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOrigins of the Gods\u003c\/em\u003e offers a detailed examination of the role played by shamanism and communication with higher intelligences in the development of ancient civilizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis intriguing book explores how our ancestors used shamanic rituals at sacred sites to create portals for communication with non-human intelligences.

Thus, the gods of our ancestors were the result of an interaction between human consciousness and transdimensional intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book reveals how the spiritual and shamanic beliefs of more than 100 Native American tribes align with this theory.

Yet, even before the Solutreans, the American continent was home to a powerful population of enormous stature, giants remembered in Native American legend as the Thunder People.

They show how the Denisovans displayed sophisticated advances, including precision-machined stone tools and jewellery, tailored clothing, celestially-aligned architecture, and horse domestication. Examining evidence from ancient America, the authors reveal how Denisovan hybrids became the elite of the Adena mound-building culture, explaining the giant skeletons found in Native American burial mounds.
