Mysteries From Forgotten Worlds

Mysteries From Forgotten Worlds investigates theories of lost civilisations and knowledge, in classic Charles Berlitz style.

Mankind has always sought more knowledge of his ancestors. Our only clues to life billions of years ago are mysterious monuments and archaeological finds such as Stonehenge, the Pyramids, the lost empire of Atlantis … and the writings on tablets and caves, which can be so easily misinterpreted.

Was the so-called ‘dawn of civilisation’ really just a sad twilight — the dimly recalled remnants of a former greatness?

First published in 1972, Mysteries From Forgotten Worlds puts forward the theory that an advanced civilisation existed millions of years ago, and offers convincing evidence that cannot be easily dismissed. It is essential reading for anyone interested in popular science, science fiction and mystery, written by one of the most famous authors in those genres.


Praise for Mysteries From Forgotten Worlds:
’His object is to piece together a jig-saw puzzle from remains of civilisations which, he believes, were as advanced as ours, and vanished almost — but not quite — without trace … He has amassed an enthralling theory’ - Evening News

‘If you are familiar with the work of people such as Charles Hapgood, Graham Hancock, David Hatcher Childress or even some of the books written in the 1970s by Robert Charroux, Richard Mooney or Rene Noorbergen, you should like this one too’ - Amazon review

Charles Berlitz (1914–2003) was an American author and businessman. A grandson of Maximilien Berlitz, who founded the Berlitz Language Schools, Charles was raised in a multi-lingual household and spoke eight languages fluently. His written works were mainly concerned with paranormal and/or unexplained phenomena: he wrote frequently about Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle, and believed that extra-terrestrials had visited Earth.
