Michael Baigent Boeken

Werktuigen die meer dan dertig miljoen jaar geleden zijn gebruikt, fossiele afdrukken van mensachtige voeten en een afdruk van een schoenzool van meer dan honderd miljoen jaar oud: overal ter wereld zijn sporen gevonden die niet stroken met de bestaande theorie over het ontstaan van de mensheid. De gangbare wetenschap blijft deze vondsten echter hardnekkig negeren. In "Sporen uit de oude tijd" geeft Michael Baigent, auteur van onder andere de werelbestseller "Het heilige bloed en de heilige graal", een geheel nieuwe kijk op de evolutie. Op overtuigende wijze toont hij aan dat de mens helemaal niet van de aap afstamt, maar dat beide bestaansvormen vele miljoenen jaren lang onafhankelijk naast elkaar hebben voortbestaan. Daarbij blijkt tevens dat de mensheid veel ouder is dan we denken: de homo sapiens zou al twee miljoen jaar geleden op aarde hebben rondgelopen! Een ongelooflijk spannend en controversieel overzicht van de oorsprong van de mensheid, dat de chronologie van de menselijke beschaving op zijn kop zet.

Poging om aan te tonen dat het irrationele in de vorm van alchemie, magie en geheime genootschappen een belangrijke rol heeft gespeeld in de ontwikkeling van de westerse beschaving.

By July of 1944, the Third Reich's days were numbered. Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a general staff insider with open eyes (and access to the F?hrer), was convinced that assassinating Hitler was the only way to prevent the destruction of the Fatherland and the deaths of millions. On July 20, he hid a bomb-stuffed briefcase at a high-level meeting. The explosion tore through the room, but a table leg spared Hitler from the blast. The result was a witch hunt, a wave of executions, and a further pointless year of war. Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh deliver ... [a] definitive portrait of the anti-Nazi movement (called "Secret Germany") that almost killed Hitler
