Publisher's Synopsis
All over the world there are extraordinary stories-stories that once upon a time were believed to be true but are today limited to the sphere of ancient myths and legends.
Each chapter in this engaging study examines a particular mystery; they come from locations across the globe and throughout the annals of human history. The topics addressed include the lost city of Atlantis; the Ark of the Covenant; the legend of the crystal skulls; and the enigma of the indecipherable Voynich manuscript.
