Something is awry with our picture of early civilisation” The Secret History of Ancient Egypt is a fast-paced, brilliantly researched book. New archaeological discoveries and scientific dating techniques are putting our notions of prehistory into turmoil. Did the Egyptians know how to build helicopters and submarines Did an American eccentric discover the secret of the near-miraculous engineering techniques that built the pyramids Could an advanced prehistoric culture have disappeared without a trace These questions and more are answered in The Secret History of Ancient Egypt. Herbie Brennan turns orthodox scholarship upside down to reveal the truth about one of the most fascinating subjects you will ever study. First published in 2000, this book is more relevant now than ever-recent aerial archaeological surveys show many more Egyptian pyramids than those now visible as well as much more extensive building works-both supportive of the central thesis behind these pages.
