Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if human history is not the straight line we have been taught to imagine?We like to think of civilisation as a steady journey from primitive beginnings to the modern world. But archaeology tells a far more complicated story.Knowledge can be discovered, shared and improved.It can also be forgotten.From the Great Pyramid and the flood stories of ancient Mesopotamia to Stonehenge, Göbekli Tepe, submerged landscapes, lost technologies and discoveries revealed by modern archaeology, The Lost Cycle explores what we know about humanity's past - and, just as importantly, what we still do not know.Were ancient people more capable than we sometimes give them credit for?How much knowledge has disappeared?Can legends preserve memories of real events?What remains undiscovered beneath our oceans, deserts and forests?And could our own civilisation one day become another archaeological mystery?The Lost Cycle does not search for extraterrestrials or an imaginary lost super-civilisation.It explores something more remarkable: what ordinary human beings have been capable of through intelligence, cooperation, observation and generations of accumulated knowledge.Behind the monuments were people whose names have disappeared.They built, learned, remembered and forgot.One day, we too will be the ancient people someone else tries to understand.We are somebody's ancients.The Lost Cycle is a journey through archaeology, history, human memory and the fragile thread of knowledge connecting us to those who came before.
