About this listen

Are history books giving us the whole story? Or is civilization far more complex and for older than we have been taught?

Our school textbooks barely mention the 6,000-year-old Sumerian civilization, yet the latest archaeological findings at sites such as Jericho, and most recently, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, have been dated to 10,000 BC.

Civilization goes back at least another 10,000 years, if we are willing to believe what our ancestors themselves claimed.

The Lost Civilization Enigma reveals the truth about:

  • Lost magnitudes to known cultures, such as the Bosnian Pyramids and the civilization of "Old Europe";
  • The fabled lost "golden" cities of South America and the Amazon, which are slowly being rediscovered;
  • Fascinating examples of lost technology, such as the Antikythera Device;
  • Atlantis and the fact that it was a real civilization.

Analyzing historical and archaeological records, best-selling author Philip Coppens demonstrates that there is substantial evidence that civilization is far older, far more advanced, and far more special than is currently accepted. Clearly, our history books have left out a great deal!

A decent addition to the Lost Civilisation genre

Philip Coppens lays out a great bodywork of evidence for lost civilisations, including places not previously covered by Graham Hancock, such as Northern Europe.
A particular strength is how Coppens discects the corruption and institutional malaise rife in archaeology in greater detail than found in Graham Hancock. Particularly how Coppens examines the rather sordid career of Zahi Hawass, the Egyptian director of Antiquities.
On the whole, the book is very similar to the works of Graham Hancock, who is undoubtedly the master of this genre, however, if one is wondering if they should read this in addition to Hancock, the answer is a firm yes. Coppens brings different insights and different regions to the table, and this book should surely be on the reading list of all people interested in the field of lost civilisations.

Very good, very interesting!

This had a couple of boring parts but mostly very interesting, Graham Hancock still no 1 for me.... If you like ancient history you will love this. Excellent detail, and there's parts of this book which will blow your mind, definitely a must listen

history robot

this is a worth while listen. though it sounds like its being read by some kind of voice emulator the content is interesting, opening what seems like closed books and offering a fresh perspective to muse over. the legends that span the world are examined and the fragments of fact are extracted to produce some convincing evidence for rethinking some of the history books.
