Who built the pyramids in Egypt? Or the megalithic monuments of Britain and South America? These and other mysteries of the ancient past tantalize our imaginations.
Soon, this section of the BPI site will feature articles about enimgatic ancient monuments, civilizations whose identities remains enshrouded in mystery, legends of lost cultures, and other unexplained events in human history. To be notified when the articles are posted, please sign up for the free BPI Update, an email newsletter (see sign-up form at right).
Do you crave more information, beyond the basics? Check out the articles on the BPI blog or read Backyard Bigfoot by Lisa A. Shiel for deeper discussions of ancient mysteries.
"Human cultures have a tendency to spring up out of nowhere, then vanish or regress with equal abruptness. The Anasazi, the ancient Maltese, the residents of Teotihuacán in Mexico and Tiahuanaco in Bolivia — all these cultures sprang up, flourished, and vanished without a trace. They also built enormous, megalithic structures whose purpose and construction techniques remain a mystery."From Backyard Bigfoot by Lisa A. Shiel
