Power Places and the Master Builders of Antiquity - by Frank Joseph (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A collection of investigations into strange and mysterious phenomena from around the world

- Explores ancient and modern sacred sites, places of power, natural wonders, altered states, UFO encounters, and the afterlife

- Investigates sites and phenomena in Egypt, China, Ireland, and throughout North America, including Oak Island, Florida's Coral Castle, Wisconsin's UFO hot-spot, and giant-built constructions in Illinois

- Examines the forgotten or suppressed work of extraordinary personalities, including Jules Verne, Sir Francis Bacon, and the real-life Indiana Jones, Count Byron de Prorok

Sharing his personal investigations into a wide range of ancient mysteries and paranormal enigmas in America and abroad, Frank Joseph takes us on a journey into the high strangeness of our world.

Beginning with the work of the master builders of antiquity, the author examines Old World connections with New World sacred centers, such as the similarities between Ohio's Mound City and the pyramids and tombs of the Giza Plateau, as well as ancient American cities of the Sun, China's Great Pyramid, and the possibility of a Templar treasure on Oak Island. He explores modern sacred sites, such as Iowa's Grotto of Gems, Tennessee's Greek Temple of the goddess Athena, and Florida's Coral Castle. He investigates pre-Columbian sites and underwater pyramids in the Midwest, Wisconsin's UFO hot-spot, lost Aztec Cities of Gold in Kansas, and giant-built constructions in Illinois. He details how the intriguing acoustics of Newgrange in Ireland are echoed in its spiral carvings. Exploring spiritual uses of altered states, he looks at the practices of Minoan snake handlers, Mayan shamans, and prophets through the ages.

Providing his own investigations into classic paranormal phenomena and ancient mysteries, the author also examines evidence of the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, and the Ark of the Covenant. He explores the forgotten or suppressed work of some of history's most extraordinary personalities, including Jules Verne, Sir Francis Bacon, Mother Shipton, and the real-life inspiration for Indiana Jones, Count Byron de Prorok. He investigates wonders of our natural world, including communication with elemental beings, the numinous secrets of water, and the living soul of matter.

Frank Joseph investigates these phenomena not to explain them away, but to expose their power to affect and elevate human consciousness.

Review Quotes

"For decades, Frank Joseph has unraveled with compelling evidence the vast hidden and complicated history of Earth and the rise and fall of advanced civilizations across every continent. In his latest book, Power Places and the Master Builders of Antiquity, he unwinds the mystery of mysterious ancient sites left here by these advanced cultures whose knowledge of the multidimensional universe empowered them with expanded consciousness and otherworldly science. Break free from the old paradigms that lock you into a fixed illusion of hopeless reality by unleashing the unbridled beliefs, told brilliantly in Frank Joseph's writings, that shift us into immortal sovereignty. A courageous warrior of truth, Frank leaves you with the deepest yearning for the truth of where we came from and why we are here."-- "Debbie West, producer and host of Lost Knowledge radio show"

"I have heard many of Frank Joseph's well-researched lectures over the past twenty years, and he has put the same attention to facts and detail into his latest book. By collecting over thirty modern and ancient power places from around the world, Frank demonstrates that the power and wisdom of the ancients is still with us today. This work connects many locations across time and space and uncovers some common threads between them. The adventurous soul would do well to use this book as the start of a 'bucket list' of sacred sites--both ancient and modern--throughout the world."-- "Kevin Reger, Wisconsin coordinator of Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment"
