Publisher's summary
Ancient cultures around the world spoke of a vast cycle of time with alternating dark and golden ages; Plato called it the Great Year. Most of us were taught in school that the dark ages were real but the golden age was just a universal myth. However, new scientific evidence suggest this cycle of high and low ages may have some basis in fact and Caltech is hot on the trail! To better understand the physics behind the concept, we need look no farther than the diurnal and annual motions of the earth. In the first celestial motion, the earth spins on its axis which causes the cycles of night and day, and swinging mankind’s consciousness from “waking” to subconscious states according to the axing and waning light. The earth’s yearly revolution around the Sun has an comparatively larger and profound effect; its swinging electromagnetism creates the seasons, while trillions of plants and animals change form, spawn, hibernate, or migrate in masses.
The astronomical community has discovered that something massive is tugging on our solar system and the stage is set for discovering the motion that moves us through high ages of enlightenment and into lower ages of darkness - a similar darkness that psychology investigates with amnesia patients suffering anxiety from not knowing of their past - a past that we too, have forgotten. Has the whole of mankind unknowlingly suffered a similar dissonance? And If so, perhaps it explains many of our modern problems. Cruttenden explains the cosmic cycle in detail and suggests how a better understanding of the wisdom of ancient cultures is the absolute recipe to a higher civilization.

In this newly revised and expanded edition, updated throughout with recent developments, geologist Robert Schoch builds upon his revolutionary theory that the origins of the Sphinx date back much further than 2500 BCE and examines scientific evidence of the catastrophe that destroyed early high culture nearly 12,000 years ago. Weaving together a new view of the origins and antiquity of civilization and the dynamics of the planet we live on, Schoch maintains we must heed the megalithic warning of the past and collectively prepare for future events.

In Visionary, Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to modern human mind.

Built at the end of the last ice age around 9600 BCE, Göbekli Tepe in southeast Turkey was designed to align with the constellation of the celestial swan, Cygnus - a fact confirmed by the discovery at the site of a tiny bone plaque carved with the three key stars of Cygnus. Remarkably, the three main pyramids at Giza in Egypt, including the Great Pyramid, align with the same three stars. But where did this ancient veneration of Cygnus come from?

No other monument in the world evokes mystery like the Great Sphinx of Giza. It has survived the harsh climate of Egypt for thousands of years and will remain long after our own civilization is gone. According to orthodox Egyptology, the Sphinx was built around 2500 BCE as a memorial to the pharaoh Khafre. Yet this “fact” has scant to no supportive evidence. When was the Sphinx really built and, most importantly, why?

For at least 20,000 years, we have led not just an earthly existence, but a cosmic one. Celestial cycles drove every aspect of our daily lives. Our innate relationship with the stars shaped who we are - our art, religious beliefs, social status, scientific advances, and even our biology. But over the last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe that surrounds us. It's a disconnect with a dire cost.

In so doing he reaches a provocative conclusion: Science, like religion, is fundamentally limited as a tool for understanding the world.

Story
Over two millennia ago, the prescient insights of Anaximander paved the way for cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. His legacy includes the revolutionary ideas that the Earth floats in a void, that animals evolved, that the world can be understood in natural rather than supernatural terms, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. In this elegant work, the renowned theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander’s overlooked influence on modern science

Story
In this rich, irreverent, and compelling history, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg takes us across centuries, from ancient Miletus to medieval Baghdad and Oxford, from Plato's Academy and the Museum of Alexandria to the cathedral school of Chartres and the Royal Society of London. He shows that the scientists of ancient and medieval times not only did not understand what we understand about the world--they did not understand what there is to understand or how to understand it.

Wonderfully sensible take on reality and how the truth just might be far stranger than one can imagine. Except, here you can.

Everything I hoped it would be, and more!
I’ve been sitting on this book, waiting for the right time to begin. After re-reading The Yugas by Joseph Selbie, I felt I was ready.
Although the bulk of the ideas we’re already known to me, the depth and breadth of the work was far greater than I expected. I was thoroughly impressed by Cruttenden’s ability to bridge the gap between science and metaphysics, between our age and the ancients’.
I highly recommend this amazing book to anyone with an open mind and a hopeful heart. The concept of cyclical time is far more encouraging for our species than the outdated, linear model.
Let’s get the word out!

Shockingly well supported
Lines up well with new discoveries that push the calendar back to a sophisticated high civilization during the last ice age, that was likely ancient even then. Also fits with new models of our velocity and motion through space. Old and new sciences meet often these days, and tell a convincing tale in many texts, among which this has earned it’s place. Very compelling.

Exceptional book!! Narration is superb
Fascinating book, full of key information regarding procession cycles. It covers ancient history, myths, sites and artifacts to back up the hypothesis of higher cultures of mind and soul in the past.

Profoundly important, and an enjoyable listen !
Walter Cruttenden's Lost Star of Myth and Time explores the profoundly important subject of the precession of the equinoxes, which is encoded in ancient myth from Egypt to Scandinavia to China, and which is encoded into the dimensions and relative locations of ancient megalithic monuments and pyramids. Not satisfied with simply accepting the conventional theory for the cause of precession on the authority of "the consensus," Walter dares to question whether or not there could be another explanation for the evidence that we have found thus far. A groundbreaking book and one that everyone interested in the question of humanity's ancient history (and earth's ancient history) should own and absorb. Hearing the words of the book read aloud brings a new perspective and impresses the details of this fascinating subject in an entirely different and memorable way -- highly recommended!

We are witnesses to the re-emergence & reawakening of long dormant science
It has taken me many years of interest in the science of archaeoastronomy, the Vedic Scriptures and the ideas expressed in Hamlet’s Mill to grasp even a bit of the information and hypotheses presented here. A brilliant and masterly effort. I will be listening to and referencing it for years to come.

Ancient wisdom validated but still ignored
The order of presentation and structure of this story is powerful. I’m a student of the ancients left awestruck by the wisdom and level of effort our ancestors invested in leaving an undeniable record for later, fallen generations to consider. Stone monuments around the world and a light shaft at Giza that points to a partner star.. these are the records of our achievements and must not be written off. Modern science is observing the gravitational forces explained by a duel star relationship in countless examples as outlined in this book. And we still hold flawed theories dear.
Questions left unaddressed are these: 1) how did we mark and measure the knowledge itself, then build observatories on this scale, and 2) why are we so dedicated to deny connections between our past golden ages and our reality today?
Recovering lost knowledge and understanding should be a priority.
While I had to listen to chapters focused on the mathmatics involved more than once, you’ll be rewarded by a fast paced delivery of a side by side comparison of competing theories. Given so many corroborating “mythical” stories and hard references compiled by the author i found myself asking why are we so dedicated to deny the idea our ancestors were precisely tracking the passing of the ages in our great procession. What are we really afraid of?

Compelling Case to Rethink History, Must Read!
Mr. Cruttenden’s writing style is gripping; he presents a story that is as fascinating as it is logical. Weaving subjects of science, mythology and religion, he reveals how ancient cultures possessed knowledge that still baffles the sharpest minds of today.
Lost Star of Myth and Time presents a compelling case – that the rise and fall of civilizations (as well as of human consciousness) follow a cycle of time that can be linked with the precession of the equinox. The hypotheses presented in Cruttenden’s work are not just persuasive, but plausible.
This is not a book to casually listen to from beginning to end; by taking time to visualize the concepts presented, such as the “binary star theory”, or how several of the world's monolithic structure have deeper significance than commonly known, I received more than my money's worth in enlightenment.
I would highly recommend Lost Star to anyone who wants to explore the mysteries that enshroud history, or to anyone who has a desire to shed light on the potentials of humanity in the centuries to come.

Stellar Story of History
Modern science and ancient wisdom converge to paint a picture of how our solar system motion influences the rise and fall of civilization. It’s about time and space and lost cultures. It offers a compelling argument for anomalous artifacts, planet nine and the arc of history, and sheds a natural light on the future evolution of mankind.
