Lost World: Scientific Secrets of the Ancients by Robert Charroux

“Lost World: Scientific Secrets of the Ancients” is a book by Robert Charroux that explores the possibility of advanced ancient civilizations that possessed scientific knowledge beyond what is commonly believed. Charroux presents various pieces of evidence and theories to support his claims, including ancient texts, artifacts, and architectural feats.

One of Charroux’s main arguments is that many ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, Mayans, and Sumerians, had knowledge of astronomy and mathematics that allowed them to create impressive structures aligned with celestial events. He also suggests that these cultures had knowledge of electricity and advanced metallurgy, based on the discovery of ancient batteries and intricate metalwork.

Charroux also explores the possibility that ancient civilizations had contact with extraterrestrial beings, and that these beings may have shared advanced knowledge with them. He suggests that many ancient myths and legends can be interpreted as accounts of contact with alien races.

While some of Charroux’s theories have been criticized by mainstream historians and archaeologists, his book remains a fascinating exploration of the possibility that our understanding of ancient civilizations may be incomplete.
