The Book of Ancient Revelations (Paperback, illustrated edition)

In the Sumerian equivalent of the "Garden of Eden" myth, the land of perfection is called ANAKU. In ancient Middle Eastern letters inscribed on ruins in Bolivia is the name TI-A-NAKU. Coincidence? Tiawanaku, Bolivia, Hugh Fox argues, is the "real" place behind all the ancient myths about a hero (the sun) going across the ocean to the House of the Sun. He also suggests that the site was the sacred place of shamanistic initiation - the death/rebirth experience being induced by psychedelic plants. With fascinating anecdotes of research in South America, comparisons between Quecha (the language of the Incas), Arabic, and Hebrew, and a captivating passion for the subject, The Book of Ancient Revelations is a visionary, riveting read for anyone with an interest in solar religions, Amerindian history/mythology, or matters psychedelic-shamanistic. Illustrated throughout with b/w sketches.
