Unlocking Ancient Mysteries

Explore two of the most profound ancient legends, Shambhala and the ancient Kingdom of Kemet (Egypt), deeply intriguing mysteries that have fascinated and inspired millions since the dawn of civilization. In powerful first-hand accounts, explorer M.G. Hawking takes you into the fabled landscapes and unparalleled knowledge of two lost worlds.Ancient history is the hazy vestiges of memory; far more of the secrets underlying the mysteries of the past have been lost than preserved. Even the earliest accounts of history were composed long after certain truths had lapsed from human memory, or were considered secrets too powerful—or too sacred—to be revealed. Yet legends inevitably arose in which fragments of those truths were preserved.Stretching in a vast crescent across Asia, the Himalayan Range protects the most isolated areas of Earth's landmass; ice peaks towering nearly six miles high shroud remote, lushly forested valleys. For thousands of years the mysterious inner region of this Great Range has inspired countless stories and legends of a hidden sanctuary of great masters. If this hidden realm truly exists, who resides there?No historical mystery has inspired the depth of fascination as the enigma of Ancient Egypt. Some ten-thousand years ago, as if abruptly descended upon the sands, a small stone-age culture suddenly rose to create the most magnificent civilization of known history. How was this incredible feat achieved? What was the source of the ancient Egyptians' sophisticated knowledge and technology?Journey into a legendary realm deep in the Himalayas and far back through the ages to the majestic landscapes of Ancient Egypt to discover knowledge that has long been concealed in legends and sophistry.
