I would like to dedicate this work to my wife, Stephanie, son, Jason, and daughter, Sophie, and thank them for offering their support, love, and encouragement in our search, as a family, for new truths. LOST KNOWLEDGE of the ANCIENTS “These accounts of ‘lost’ or anomalous knowledge are building blocks of an alternative universe, and, taken altogether, they reveal something of the deep structure of this alternative universe. They also show that this universe made up of anomalies may be more real than the everyday, commonsensical one!” MARK BOOTH, AUTHOR OF THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE WORLD Acknowledgments I came to the idea for this compilation with the cooperation of author/researcher Graham Hancock and the contributors to his online forum at www.Graham- Hancock.com. This volume can be considered a select offering from the many dozens of excellent articles and essays on the site that speak to the search for lost knowledge and the knowledge of the great astronomical cycles of our existence. I would like to thank and acknowledge the kind friendship and support of Graham Hancock, John Anthony West, Robert Schoch, and Walter Cruttenden of the Binary Research Institute (BRI), and all of the contributing authors who cooperated in putting this work together. Together, we offer these essays with a commitment to the principles of embracing the pursuit of knowledge and truth through rigorous, open- minded research, discovery, and critical analysis.

This collection of essays adds to those voices and, when taken as a whole, provides astounding, yet compelling proof of an approaching shift in our perspective regarding human origins and the roots of civilization. Long- standing paradigms are beginning to crumble and realign to this new order of thinking. This “thought revolution” represents a direct challenge to an orthodox, mainstream academic establishment that continues to try to debunk sound evidence and theories that have not only stood the test of time but that have already attained accepted status in the court of public opinion. Of course, orthodoxy resists and fights change by its very nature. Acceptance by this establishment would require a shift in perception regarding the knowledge that mankind possessed in remote epochs. Why lost knowledge? Because much of the research, evidence, and theories presented in this collection are not currently included in mainstream, traditional academic curriculums. Nor are they seriously pursued at universities or published in scholastic textbooks and journals, although that is slowly changing. The battle to have them included and accepted has stirred controversy worldwide for decades, in some cases prompting attacks by academia against those involved in this fight. Lost Knowledge of the Ancients offers the reader a selection of well researched and thought provoking articles and essays covering alternative science and history. We have tried to stay within the broad theme of lost knowledge and cycles of time, while exploring nontraditional theories and perspectives that challenge long-standing assumptions. The diverse offerings of these prolific authors and researchers present a unique snapshot of some of the latest findings in cutting-edge scientific and historical research, while exploring new theories and fresh challenges to existing ones. By recognizing that many modern discoveries are actually rediscoveries of lost
