Synopsis
A prominent archaeologist uses the latest scientific techniques to interpret the spiritual lives of ancient people., Until recently, archaeology was concerned mainly with piecing together the material lives of our ancestors. In this groundbreaking book, master storyteller and respected archaeologist Brian Fagan explains how cutting-edge science can now take us beyond the artifacts--into the mystical realm of shamans and spirit mediums, ancestor worship, and ritual sacrifice. From the Nile's black land to the Aztec's world of the Fifth Sun, from Stonehenge to Jericho, Fagan describes how Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, Geographic Information Systems, Computer Automated Design-mapping and other sophisticated scientific methods are helping us to decode the religious and spiritual beliefs of our forebears. This new "archaeology of the mind" blends a wealth of scientific disciplines--from botany, zoology, and geology to neuropsychology, palynology, and nuclear physics. With vivid imagery and a transporting voice, Fagan revolutionizes our understanding of the inner lives of ancient people.

    The quality of the books description was very accurate. The purchase price of the book was very reasonable and the shipping costs were normal for standard international shipping rates to Australia from the USA. The packaging was excellent to ensure no damage to the books during its international journey. Good communication with the seller ensured all my questions were answered in a timely manner.

    An outstanding transaction in every manner! The condition was better than described, the value was great, the shipping was quick and well packaged! Packaging was way better than Amazon. I am going to terminate my book purchases as they arrive with covers bent and bent and bumped corners. They look like seconds!,
