In the early 1970s, Nobel Prize-winning DNA co-discoverer, Sir Francis Crick and his colleague, Leslie Orgel, proposed that in the distant past, an extraterrestrial race sent a spacecraft loaded with microorganisms to seed the Earth with life. Now, more than 40 years later, the fields of space research and biotechnology have advanced to the point where they can back up Crick and Orgel's claims abo

Mainstream consensus is that life arose on Earth spontaneously out of “primordial soup.” Yet this theory, as well as the Darwinian “survival of the fittest” concept as it relates to major steps in evolution, has no scientific basis or proof. Where, then, did life come from? As the authors show, with conclusive scientific evidence, life came from space - a concept known as “panspermia.” We humans a

Known as jinn, dybbuk, daemon, wuqabi or simply, the undead, they hover unseen on the earthly plane, ready to inhabit the most suitable body available. Documenting the life of wandering spirits and

At times, he is depicted as a meek, stuttering figure and, at others, his tyrannical

After nearly 200 years of the pyramid-as-tomb theory, a growing body of evidence suggests the first 16 pyramids of ancient Egypt were not royal tombs, but nearly indestructible recovery vaults designed to revive civilisation after an anticipated major catastrophe, the Deluge of Thoth. Scott Creighton examines the prophecy of catastrophe and the ancient Egyptians' massive undertaking to ensure the

The theme of this new book from Nigel Graddon is Mother Earth and her magnificent powers, both visible and invisible. In extolling Mother Earth's virtues in the face of humanity's increasing assaults upon nature, Graddon presents a three-part narrative through the medium of crystal, "solidified light," according to the ancients.
