In JOURNEYS TO THE MYTHICAL PAST the renowned researcher of antiquity Zecharia Sitchin reveals, for the first time, the existence of a secret chamber in Egypt's Great Pyramid and he tells his own story of an indefatigable dedication to finding the truth that almost cost him his life - accidentally or otherwise - when uncovering secrets of the Giza pyramids and Sphinx. Exposing hidden artefacts that contradict establishment assumptions or that baffle scientists, Sitchin's firsthand accounts of his explorations take the reader into the inner workings of the Vatican, the enigma of a futuristic computer from millennia ago and the secret handiwork of a Divine Architect at Stonehenge, at Malta and at a site in the Americas. Looking deep into antiquity, Sitchin offers astounding evidence that links the Nazca lines and a baffling adjoining site to the Departure from Earth of the Anunnaki, the ancient gods who, he believes, vowed to Return. • Zecharia Sitchin tells how his life was at risk inside the Great pyramid and reveals the existence of a secret chamber • Reports on Vatican encounters, the Iceman of the Alps, the antikythera computer, the temples and Ruts of Malta - and offers a solution to the enigma of the Nazca lines
