The evidence revealed in this book shows beyond reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age was destroyed in the global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago. But there were survivors - known to later cultures by names such as "the Sages", "the Magicians", "the Shining Ones", and "the Mystery Teachers of Heaven".

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?

On her 19th birthday, Princess Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, raised in exile, sets out on a perilous journey back to the castle of her birth to ascend her rightful throne.

There Are a Thousand Better Options Than This

Publisher's Summary
There are many mysteries in the world, from Bigfoot to Aliens, but some run deeper than we can imagine and are older than time itself. This comprehensive program contains decades of intense research from some of the world’s leading authors on ancient mysteries.
International best-selling author, Robert Bauval reveals his amazing research into the hidden legacy of ancient Egypt. Almost everything we once believed about the origins of our civilization is challenged with a startling revelation.
Philip Gardiner is a leading authority on serpent worship and has explored mysteries around the globe. Gardiner exposes the biggest religious cover-up in history, as he expounds upon the underlying reasons for Serpent Worship, past and present. He provides remarkable evidence for an ancient and worldwide annihilation of its practices, and discovers the real history of our religious past.
Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem is reputed to be the depository of the most esoteric knowledge in human history. For generations, scholars and researchers have tried to discover the secrets of its origin and the mysteries purportedly concealed within. Explore the fascinating secrets brought back by the infamous Knight’s Templar and the truth at the heart of ancient Freemasonry.
Conspiracies of the Ancient World is a comprehensive presentation on ancient knowledge purposely concealed from the world by sinister forces with a hidden agenda.

WARNING - Painful Ear Splitting Head Banger Music
What would have made Conspiracies of the Ancient World better?
Never made it through part 3, because it is IMPOSSIBLE to listen to someone speak while listening to ear splitting headbanger music in the back ground, that goes to PAINFUL levels when the narrator takes his 10 second pauses every 5 seconds. This is just unacceptable.
This would have been so much better without the "music", but with it, I just cannot listen to it. A complete waste of money.
The absolute worst "book" I have downloaded from Audible, or anyone else for that matter.
Would you ever listen to anything by Robert Bauval and Philip Gardiner again?
NEVER
What didn’t you like about Robert Bauval and Philip Gardiner ’s performance?
The music is just ridiculous.
What character would you cut from Conspiracies of the Ancient World?
The moronic sound engineer who decided to put that crap in the background and then raise the volumes to painful levels ever 10 seconds.
Any additional comments?
This could have been interesting, but they ruined it. A complete waste of money. If you buy this, have some aspirin ready, you're going to need it.

Unrelated content and weird prodution values
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Where do I start? For one thing, this is not a book co written by both the authors mentioned, as I mistakenly believed. This is for the most part an "interview style" recording. Bauval relates his Egyptian discoveries and personal anecdotes and opinions to an interviewer who is mostly silent. Semi-interesting, but no really new info, if you are into the "lost history of human civilization" kind of thing as I am. The second part of this recording by Gardiner is much more interesting but really has nothing to do with Bauval's work. It is as if the production company had two unrelated recordings around and combined them with the "conspiracy" label to try to make a buck. I was, however, fascinated with Gardiners knowledge and conclusions concerning ancient serpent worship. The information he provides is marred by the horribly done production. The first three quarters of the Gardiner segment is again "interview style", which consists of a badly overdubbed "interviewer" asking questions that are obviously post production, with horribly clunky and obvious edits and an overloud new age background music thing playing in the background. The last part of the Gardiner segment is a strange kind of New Age/Death rock music infused historical dissertation on what he believes the wisdom of the ancient snake cult has discovered and hidden in metaphor for the purpose of teaching humanity the true goal of being human. It is like listening to a bad youtube video, although the information is interesting. If you are a very religious person (Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, etc.), you may be uncomfortable with his opinions on the serpent worship basis of all faiths. Be warned.
Would you be willing to try another book from Robert Bauval and Philip Gardiner ? Why or why not?
I like Bauval's work. Gardiner's work is interesting. I really do not know how they could collaborate.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Please...... Read above.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
It would be two movies and I would have to be either extremely bored, or extremely high.
Any additional comments?
If this comes on special for like $4.95, and you are into the lost history of man thing, you might find it interesting enough to overlook the production faults. But don't waste a credit.

I expected a scholarly work. I got this instead
I find it difficult to appreciate a work that wants to be taken seriously but makes blatantly false statements or intentionally confusing statements amid other facts. Example: the author says the name Pendragon means head of the dragon. No argument. But then he says the names Uther and Arthur translate into God. Uther means terrible and Arthur means bear.
Worst of all is the hideous music that accompanied this work. It could have been 30 minutes shorter by removing it. It added nothing to the production except to act as filler and to drown out the voice of the narrator on several occasions.
Lastly I don't know how his long drawn out narration repeating the same information related to the title. The real title should be 'I think I found some stuff in a bunch of cultures that relates to snake and I find interesting. I hope you do too because I'm going prattle on about it for the next 3 hours."

Awful backing music spoiling it completely
My rating is not to do with the content at all - I'm a huge fan of Robert Bauval although he is only in the first 3 chapters. But the whole thing has backing music ranging from mystical sounds to soft rock all the way through to skandi heavy metal rendering it unlistenable - just awful
