Zecharia Sitchin's JOURNEYS TO THE MYTHICAL PAST (1591430801, $24.00) blends archaeology with new age insights and comes from a researcher of antiquity who reveals the existence of a secret chamber in Egypt's Great Pyramid. The author nearly lost his life in the process of exposing a long-kept secret: his firsthand accounts of his exploration range from Egypt to the Vatican and provides a range of excellent insights. Ruggero Marino's CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, THE LAST TEMPLAR (1594771901, $19.95) asks whether Columbus was a Templar--and according to historic documents and maps, he was. Marino examines Columbus' sea voyages and reveals the sources of Columbus' routes and wanderings, consider his studies and the myth that Columbus stumbled on the New World rather than deliberately charting his course. Both books are recommended picks for New Age libraries.
