Features: In July 1989, digital archaeologists in a northern Jordanian valley unearthed a beautifully polished wooden board. Experts estimate that the board has existed for at least 500,000 years, clearly crafted by a highly skilled and capable organism. Scientists also believe that the cave dwellers of that era possessed the ability to create such exquisite items. So, was the board made by a smarter organism than cave dwellers, or did scientists misjudge prehistoric humans? In The Trail of Civilization, Biegent provides a detailed analysis of several cases of prehistoric and ancient civilizations, and on this basis, raises many questions about the prevailing orthodox views. Biegent first discusses Darwin's theory of biological evolution, arguing that over a century of fossil discoveries have not provided solid evidence for the main concepts of Darwin's theory. Taking early human history as an example, cities with highly developed civilizations appeared suddenly in southern Turkey thousands of years ago, showing no signs of early development. Biegent also objectively discusses the unsolved mysteries and miraculous phenomena related to the Giza pyramid complex and the Sphinx. Finally, Biegent delves into the mysterious art of alchemy, which is also difficult to find a source in the real world. All these fascinating questions are discussed in separate chapters, with the author providing detailed historical evidence for and against each topic in every chapter, making the book rich in knowledge, interest, and readability.
