The Age of the Pyramids - A review of official claims about when the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built. Ancient Contacts - A discussion of possible early travel and contact between Europe and the Americas long before Columbus. The Great Catastrophe - An analysis of the theory of a global cataclysm that supposedly struck the planet around 10,000 BC.
