China’s Cosmological Prehistory
By Laird Scranton

Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, finding fundamental similarities between Chinese cosmology and that of other creation traditions. These cultural symbols reveal that there was a sophisticated scientific understanding in ancient times that has a direct correlation to our modern scientific discoveries, and suggests that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.
Point of Origin

The Mystery of Skara Brae
By Laird Scranton
$16.95
Laird Scranton reveals the striking similarities between Skara Brae, a Neolithic farming village on Orkney Island and the traditions of pre-dynastic ancient Egypt as preserved by the Dogon people of Mali.

The Great Pyramid Hoax
By Scott Creighton
$18.00
Scott Creighton reveals how the only hard evidence that dates the Great Pyramid--the quarry marks discovered by Colonel Vyse in 1837--was forged. Creighton’s study strikes down one of the most fundamental assertions of orthodox Egyptologists and reopens long-standing questions about the Great Pyramid’s true age, who really built it, and why.

Exploring the mystery of why so many ancient cultures share remarkably similar cosmological philosophies and religious symbolism, Laird Scranton analyzes dozens of examples of shared ancient wisdom and symbols and reveals how this knowledge came from the original instructions that led to the birth of the great civilizations.
