This is an interesting book about civilization on Earth before the Egyptians. It appears that advanced civilizations appeared almost simultaneously in Egypt, Mesopotamia (Sumer), India, and America. Where did it all come from? These people were not "stone age" people, as we like to call them. They were able to realize constructions like the pyramids and the Sphinx in Egypt. And the world's largest construction till now is a pyramid they built in America!
Colin Wilson refers to people like Alexander Thom, the Scottish engineer who discovered that the megaliths in Western Europe had been built using a common and very accurate measure, which Thom called the Megalithic Yard. How were they able to do that? Were they accomplished astronomers?
One possible source of these old peoples' knowledge is Atlantis, which the legends say is an old civilization destroyed by immense world catastrophes. Here reference is made to Immanuel Velikovsky, and his famous book Worlds in Collision from 1950.
Wilson also "pays a visit" to the famous American psychic Edgar Cayce, who repeatedly tells about Atlantis in his "Readings".
Wilson stops short of discussing the possible intervention of the Great Architect of the Universe.
A highly recommendable book for those who are interested in finding out about our origins.
