THE AUTHOR OF
THE ASHES OF ANGELS, GODS OF EDEN, GATEWAY TO ATLANTIS
AND TUTANKHAMUN: THE
New Book from Andrew Collins
the celestial swan of classical mythology, is perhaps the oldest constellation
in the world. It was represented as a bird on a pole within
the Lascaux cave
in southern France some 17,000 years ago, while Göbekli Tepe - a megalithic
stone temple complex 11,500 years old in southeast
Turkey - is aligned to
this same star group, as are other Neolithic cult centres locally.
is the same story with ancient stone and earthen structures worldwide, from the
bird effigy mounds of North America to the Olmec centres of Mexico.
Incan sacred city of Cuzco, to the Egyptian Pyramids of Giza, the Hindu temples
of India, and even Avebury, the largest stone circle in Europe
- all reflect
an age-old interest in Cygnus. Why was this constellation singled out as important
by our ancestors? Now new evidence suggests that
the arrival of unique cosmic
particles from the Cygnus constellation might help explain not only why we gained
a strange fascination for this star
system, recognised as the cosmic source
of life and death, but also why the human race experienced an accelerated evolution
in Upper Palaeolithic times.
"THE CYGNUS MYSTERY is an intellectual
adventure that considers shamanism
and the influence of the Cygnus constellation
on the minds of our Neolithic
ancestors. Andrew Collins takes readers into
deepest, darkest caves in
search of the sound of the universe, making a compelling
Palaeolithic CERNs, and showing how a knowledge of subtle astronomical
events is necessary to understand human prehistory."
Narby, anthropologist and author of THE COSMIC SERPENT.
In addition to this, THE CYGNUS MYSTERY explores the strange appearance of the
Watchers of the Book of Enoch; examines the archaic beliefs of the star-worshipping
Sabians and angel-worshipping Yezidi, who each saw the North Star as the direction
of cosmic life and death. It shows that the Giza pyramids relate more closely
to Cygnus than they do Orion, and reveals for the very first time the previously
unrecognized entrance to an underworld domain equated directly with what American
psychic Edgar Cayce referred to as the Hall of Records.
is also in depth material on the significance of junk DNA to human evolution and
ETI, as well as new insights into drug-induced mind-altered states and their relationship
to deep cave settings for supernatural communications. I look at the real significance
of DNA discoverer Francis Crick¹s LSD experiences, and provide chapters on
Cygnus and the Milky Way as the cosmic mother, under names such as Bride, Brigit,
Isis, Hathor, Nut, Venus and Saraswati.
Andrew presents overwhelming evidence of life's cosmic origins, something that
our earliest ancestors recognised, yet we have forgotten, and finally we look
at Cygnus's upcoming role in the much anticipated events surrounding 2012.
