Četiri tisuće godina Jizreelska dolina, smještena između sredozemne Haife i Galilejskog mora s gradom Megidom u današnjem Izraelu, bila je poprište trideset i četiri krvava sukoba koji su obilježili povijest Judeje, Kanaana, Izraela i Palestine. Narodi koji su tu ratovali, počevši od Egipćana, Kanaanaca, Izraelićana, sve do današnjih dana i permanentnih izraelsko-palestinskih sukoba, stvorili su po mišljenju autora jedno od najčešćih mjesta za sukobe u ljudskoj povijesti. Knjiga donosi povijest ratova vezanih za Megido i Jizreelsku dolinu s namjerom da upozna čitatelja s konstantom ljudske historije - njenim ponavljanjem.

An asteroid transformed Mars from a lush planet with rivers and oceans into a bleak and icy hell. Is Earth condemned to the same fate, or can we protect ourselves and our planet from extinction? In his most riveting and revealing book yet, Graham Hancock examines the evidence that the barren Red Planet was once home to a lush environment of flowing rivers, lakes, and oceans. Could Mars have sustained life and civilization? Megaliths found on the parched shores of Cydonia, a former Martian ocean, mirror the geometrical conventions of the pyramids at Egypt's Giza necropolis. Especially startling is a Sphinx-like structure depicting a face with distinguishable diadem, teeth, mouth and an Egyptian-style headdress. Might there be a connection between the structures of Egypt and those of Mars? Why does NASA continue to dismiss these remarkable anomalies as "a trick of light"? Hancock points to the intriguing possibility that ancient Martian civilization is communicating with us through the remarkable structures it left behind. In exploring the possible traces left by the Martian civilization and the cosmic cataclysm that may have ended it, The Mars Mystery is both an illumination of our ancient past and a warning--that we still have time to heed--about our ultimate fate.
