This book demonstrates that the stones of the Pyramids were cast like concrete.

Evidence of ancient knowledge of a remarkable character.

More of the same Catalogue of astounding ancient technology (space travel, nuclear war, etc*) Shows the physical superiority of Neanderthals to modern men, and their 200 year+ lifespans.

Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe Explores string theory Gives a coherent theory explaining huge numbers of the world’s mysteries by means of his deluge theory; the Hydroplate Theory How the workings of the cell disprove Darwinism Categorically refutes every objection ever made to the possibility of life surviving a global flood by means of the Ark. All one needs to know in order to set up a self sufficient, organic farm.
