This book details sixty-four ways in which earlier, forgotten science and technology are superior to our own . . . today.
These are not merely ancient secrets—but knowledge way ahead of the twenty-first century. You will learn of secret formulas that could revolutionize modern aviation, construction, and medicine—advanced secrets our world once knew, and has forgotten. Discover how some geniuses of antiquity soared into inventions and plucked knowledge that the twenty-first century is just beginning to nudge. You may well ask, what else did they know, that we don't? Art techniques which we cannot copy, super micro technology, sub-ocean tunneling, invisibility, time viewing devices, lamps that never go out—WHAT NEXT???

While I'm a fan of more rigorous scholarship I find that this work is an acceptable introduction for the non-academic. My issue is that this "list" does not meet any strenuous investigation by the author (which may not have been his purpose). This book is more of a tool of introduction for those who are curious and wish to study further on their own. I would have preferred to see more citations or even a bibliography but alas this isn’t so. As a result I am not confidant in quoting this book in any of my works. However, the brevity of this book seems purposed to launch the reader into a deeper inquiry of your own. It becomes clear that the author has narrated a series of historical findings that we’ve failed to learn from and in doing so has a suggestive purpose of rebuke. What rebuke you ask? If were to learn of humanity’s crude past as it were, we’d be much further today. However, this would require the admission of our failure to respect our past, which would be to learn from it. So I give it four stars because I believe the author's purpose wasn't to regard him as an authority on the matter but rather to prompt others into further research for themselves. In that respect it's a great book. Do not ignore it!

I bought this, not because I needed something to read in my spare time, but because I need to know what is really going on in our planet Earth. For me it does not make sense that years and years of research have gone by and we are in the same position. Reading 64 Secrets still ahead of Us, really open my eyes, and make realize that we still have a lot more to learn about how our world is functioning. But above all, this book really make me trust more Jehovah God. It is to Him that we owe all what we know. Why don't we turn back to Him, and with the knowledge that he give us, help each other. This book prove that when greed is the motto, knowledge suffer, and we have a world like our, divided into two groups: one with a superior knowledge, profiting and oppressing the other group who barely know something to live by everyday.
