The Lost Mu Civilization in the Pacific Ocean (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Forget everything you think you know about lost civilizations. The Lost Mu Civilization in the Pacific Ocean is the first book to directly pit the enduring legend of Mu against the hard evidence of modern archaeology. Author Stephanie K. L. Lam performs a brilliant dissection of the myth, tracing its invention in 19th-century pseudoscience and its rise in esoteric circles.

But this is more than a debunking; it's a journey to the real wonders of the Pacific. Lam expertly guides you through the staggering stone cities of Nan Madol and the genuine history of Oceania's seafaring peoples, offering a captivating narrative that replaces fantasy with a truth that is far more compelling. This book doesn't just ask what we believe about Muit reveals why we need such myths and what they say about our own world.
