Colin Wilson believes that thousands of years before ancient Egypt and Greece became powerful, there was a great civilization whose ships travelled the world. Whereas we have no way of viewing the universe as a whole, these "old ones" possessed a knowledge system that offered a unified view of the universe, which was then passed on to descendants who escaped to Egypt and South America. It was this knowledge system - alien to modern man - that enabled them to move stones weighing a thousand tons. In this exploration of the remote depths of history, Wilson sets out to reconstruct that ancient knowledge. He attempts to understand how the long-forgotten people thought, felt and communicated on a universal plane.

The book is a good overview of several other books on the subject. But it is also too heavy on the subject of religion and not up to date on the latest underwater finds of ancient cities ie in Japan and India. Religion gets tedious toward the end.

Not bad, but not great either. It seems to me most all of the book was repetitive. There were some good parts that I enjoyed, but overall somewhat disappointing.
