First, let me admit to a certain bias, I’ve followed Coppens’ work for several years. His last book “The Ancient Alien Question” (my review) was freaking brilliant and much of what he writes is a “must-have” for your home library.
Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed “The Lost Civilization Enigma”. I guess that the most impressive part of this book, and others that Coppens’ writes, is the depth of research. Of course, as usual, I thumbed to the back of the book for the Notes and Bibliography — impressive.
The cover and the interior pictures are great. Color pictures of Lascaux, Machu Picchu, Gobekli Tepe, the Antikythera device, and more were simply eye-popping and I hope that New Page will continue to publish with color pictures.
The Lost Civilization Enigma can get a little dry, but if you are interested in the topic, I think you’ll find yourself absorbed in the book. It really is excellent and thought-provoking. I think that it is a must read. I give it a solid 4 1/2 stars and I highly recommend it. Review copy provided by New Page Books.

A little dry in parts, fascinating in others. He looks into different cultures and legends that seem to show that there was advanced civilizations prior to what current science would have us believe.
Do I believe everything he wrote? I'm not sure. I don't completely discount it either. He raises some interesting points for sure.
