Are history books giving us the whole story? Or is civilization far more complex and for older than we have been taught?

Our school textbooks barely mention the 6,000-year-old Sumerian civilization, yet the latest archaeological findings at sites such as Jericho and, most recently, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, have been dated to 10,000 BC.

Civilization goes back at least another 10,000 years, if we are willing to believe what our ancestors themselves claimed.

The Lost Civilization Enigma reveals the truth about:


  • Lost magnitudes to known cultures, such as the Bosnian Pyramids and the civilization of "Old Europe";

  • The fabled lost "golden" cities of South America and the Amazon, which are slowly being rediscovered;

  • Fascinating examples of lost technology, such as the Antikythera Device;

  • Atlantis and the fact that it was a real civilization.


Analyzingย  historical and archaeological records, bestselling author Philip Coppens demonstrates that there is substantial evidence that civilization is far older, far more advanced, and far more special than is currently accepted. Clearly, our history books have left out a great deal!

Philip Coppens (1971-2012) was an internationally renowned investigative journalist and author. He was labeled a skeptic by the believers and a believer by the skeptics, a unique position that made him a well-recognized voice of reason. He is the author of eight books, including the bestselling The Lost Civilization Enigma, and was one of the original and leading contributors to the History channel's popular series Ancient Aliens.

David Drummond has made his living as an actor for over twenty-five years, appearing on stages large and small throughout the country and in Seattle, Washington, his hometown. He has narrated over seventy audiobooks for Tantor, in genres ranging from current political commentary to historical nonfiction, from fantasy to military, and from thrillers to humor. He has received multiple AudioFile Earphones Awards, including one for his first audiobook, Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to Stay. When not narrating, David keeps busy writing plays and stories for children.
