An exploration of ancient civilizations and technologies via ancient texts and manuscripts, and via archaeological and prehistoric sites. This book argues that our current view of human history is far too narrow, and that we have various forms of evidence that show that our history is far more ancient, and was far more modern, than we have hitherto imagined. The book explores topics such as ancient mines, the practice of ancient metallurgy, ancient knowledge of astronomy, and references in ancient texts that point to the existence of automatons and flying aircraft housands of years ago.

Les Mason Jones served a number of years in the military, and travelling on a so-called 'government service' passport, found himself in such places as South Yemen, Bahrain, the Gulf of Oman, Cyprus and Germany. After leaving the service, he became part of the team producing the highly successful business jet, The Hawker 125. He functioned as a quality-engineering inspector, with initially, British Aerospace then Corporate Jets Inc. and finally Raytheon USA, the latter of which purchased the thriving business and moved production to the USA. Mr. Jones then left the business to concentrate on writing projects. He has three adult offspring and resides in Chester.
