Examines how the similarities of symbols and wisdom across many cultures point to an ancient civilizing plan and system of ancient instruction โข Reveals the shared cosmological knowledge of Dogon and Maori cultures, ancient Egypt, Gobekli Tepe, Vedic India, the pre-Indian Sakti civilization, Buddhism, the Tibetan Bon religion, and the kabbalistic tradition of the Hebrews โข Explores symbols and techniques used to frame and preserve instructed knowledge as it was transmitted orally from generation to generation โข Explains how this shared ancient knowledge relates to the precessional year and the cycles of time known as the yugas Exploring the mystery of why so many ancient cultures, separated by time and distance, share remarkably similar cosmological philosophies and religious symbolism, Laird Scranton reveals how this shared creation tradition upholds the idea that ancient instruction gave birth to the great civilizations, each of which preserves fragments of the original knowledge. Looking at the many manifestations of this shared cosmological knowledge, including in the Dogon and Maori cultures and in ancient Egypt, Gobekli Tepe, Vedic India, Buddhism, the Tibetan Bon religion, and the kabbalistic tradition of the Hebrews, Scranton explores the thought processes that went into formulating the archetype themes and metaphors of the ancient symbolic system. He examines how commonly shared principles of creational science are reflected in key terms of the ancient languages. He discusses how the primal cosmology also transmitted key components of sacred science, such as sacred geometry, knowledge of material creation, and the nature of a nonmaterial universe--evidence for which lies in the orientation of ancient temples, the drama of initiations and rituals, and countless traditional myths. He analyzes how this shared knowledge relates to the precessional year and the cycles of time known as the yugas. He also explores evidence of the concept of a nonmaterial twin universe to our own--the โaboveโ to our โbelowโ in the famous alchemical and hermetic maxim. Through his extensive research into the interconnected wisdom of the ancients, Scranton shows that the forgotten instructional tradition at the source of this knowledge was deliberately encoded to survive for countless generations. By piecing it back together, we can discover the ancient plan for guiding humanity forward toward greater enlightenment. Review: My review - This is a worst book I have ever read.

Not for uninitiates
Too esoteric for me. Got almost nothing from it. Not for uninitiates.

Bringing the pieces together.
This is the second of Lairdโs books that I have read, and it was just as fascinating as the first one! Laird continues to expand on his original theories. Although he does an overview in each book to summarize the previous books, I think it is essential to read them all to get all the fine details.

Finally, some answers!
This book has provided some of the missing pieces to a life long search for the wisdom and true history of our ancestors. An excellent read as well as a fantastic resource.

Just OK
Although some parts were interesting, the majority of the book was a bit TOO esoteric for me (if that's even possible!) He's not the easiest author to read, that's for sure.
