History's Mysteries: People, Places and Oddities Lost in the Sands of Time

â€œIn the globe-trotting spirit of Indiana Jones, Brian Haughton has circled the earth, trying to get to the bottom of some of historyâ€™s greatest mysteries.â€

Historyâ€™s Mysteries is an absorbing and meticulously researched exploration of the archaeology, history, and mysteries of 35 ancient places worldwide.

Haughtonâ€™s book takes the reader on an unforgettable journey, from the 8,000-year-old stone circle of Nabta Playa to Indiaâ€™s magical Taj Mahal; from Rhode Islandâ€™s controversial Newport Tower to the enigmatic Royston Cave in the UK; from the strange medieval castle-village of Rennes-le-ChÃ¢teau to the massive ancient walled city of Great Zimbabwe.

Using the latest archaeological evidence, Historyâ€™s Mysteries
explores:
The incredible archaeological discoveries at the 11,000 year-old sanctuary of GÃ¶bekli Tepe in Turkey.
The heated debate over the 47-million-year-old â€˜Ida Fossilâ€™--could it be the missing link in our evolutionary history?
The reality behind controversial ancient artifacts such as the Iron Pillar of Delhi, the Oak Island Treasure, and Egyptâ€™s â€œDendera Lamps.â€
What really happened to the Neanderthals?

With 36 photographs and illustrations, this is the perfect reference work for those fascinated by the great mysteries of ancient history.
