About this book
The ancient world left behind objects and structures that still provoke a deceptively simple question: how did they do it?
From the Great Pyramid, Sphinx, Stonehenge, Baalbek and Puma Punku to the Antikythera mechanism, Roman dodecahedra and the so-called Baghdad Battery, this book examines famous “impossible” mysteries through archaeology, engineering, materials science and historical context.
Some mysteries have strong conventional explanations. Others remain genuinely incomplete. Ancient Mysteries Science Cannot Explain shows the difference—without draining the past of its mystery or turning unanswered questions into unsupported conclusions.
