The Lost Civilization Enigma: A New Inquiry into the Existence of Ancient Cities, Cultures, and Peoples Who Pre-Date Recorded History by David Drummond, Philip Coppens
5.0
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.
