This is probably one of the most intricate and exhaustive histories written of Rome, particularly the B.C. years of Rome. The author, a Roman senator, wrote this history around 216 A.D. Interestingly, he like Josephus, mentions nothing of a Jesus or a threat of the Christians against Rome. However, there is an interesting expansion of history of the Jewish revolt against Rome, including Jewish cannibalism, from the Roman point of view.
Many ancient Philosophers of the better note, have formerly defended this assertion, which I have here laid downe, and it were to be wished, that some of us would more apply our endeavours unto the examination of these old opinions, which though they have for a long time lien neglected by others, yet in them may you finde many truths well worthy your paines and observation. Tis a false conceit, for us to thinke, that amongst the ancient variety and search of opinions, the best hath still prevailed.
Nothing like this has ever been assembled for the truthseeker before. All known theories that have been written about are brought forward that touch on the Discovery of the Americas. It's rather narrow minded to recognize that Columbus was beaten to the Americas by half a century by Leif Eriksonn, and not know that Afghans, Chinese, Phoenicians, Polynesians, Hebrews, Moslems, Buddhists, Greeks, Romans, Lemurians, and others also landed on American soil prior to 1492, and that Aristotle wrote details about the great Americas, or the Hawaiian island Maui was named after an Egyptian explorer who explored Chile around 290AD. Included in this set is a rare 800 page manusctript of the Buddhist Afghans' journey to the Americas, and a concise History of Vinland by progeny of those valient explorers and colonists.
The ancient world believed that disease was brought by spirits, evil spirits. Now with modern science discovering the way disease is airborne, food-borne and spread, perhaps the ancients weren't all that far off.
This remarkable book traces the history of herbs far back into antiquity, and shows that the gods themselves were believed to be the original healers, not only by revealing the knowledge of their healing properties to mankind but by creating the sustaining herbs out of their own bodies.
The Great Pyramid has excited many researchers. Some of these were so impressed with its magnificance they turned their studies into new religions. Russell was one such researcher. While there's no need to adhere to these errant religions, there also much to glean from these author's observations and research. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater?
The Dorians derived their origin from those districts in which the Grecian nation bordered towards the north upon numerous and dissimilar races of barbarians. As to the tribes which dwelt beyond these boundaries we are indeed wholly destitute of information; nor is there the slightest trace of any memorial or tradition that the Greeks originally came from those quarters. On these frontiers, however, the events took place which effected an entire alteration in the internal condition of the whole Grecian people, and here were given many of those impulses, of which the effects were so long and generally experienced.
It is fascinating that rumours still persist to this current day, that the Stone of Destiny returned to Westminster was a fake, that it was not the original one stolen by the Scottish Nationalists, and that it was concealed in a safe place somewhere awaiting the time for the Biblical prophecies to come to fruition.
Although it may appear elitist, when the old families observe that the Dragons are being misrepresented to the extent that everybody wants to become one, the time-honoured consensus of feeling among them is compounded. They see that it inevitably leads to a gap in the market being filled, resulting in yet another impudent impertinence being perpetrated.
Study the symbolism within the three major religions of China. Written by a Christian missionary preacher, intended to expose these religions as evil and idolatrous, the author did however reveal many unknown facts about these religions.
This rare and fascinating book is filled with incredible information about he oldest mythological story in the world -- that of the dragon. Similar stories exist worldwide, in all cultures, of this elusive and powerful creature. The author states that the dragon is connectd with the powers and doings of the earliest gods, and like them is vague, changeable and contradictory in its attributes, maintaining from first to last only one definable characteristic -- association with and control of water.

The history of life on the earth during the epochs of geological time unfolds no more wonderful discovery among types of animals which have become extinct than the family of fossils known as flying reptiles. Its coming into existence, its structure, and passing away from the living world are among the great mysteries of Nature.
Stone temples are found in all parts of the world, whether inhabited by Celt or Goth, for at a later period all the early inhabitants of the globe seem to have been classed under these two appellatives.
