Archaeological proof of the advanced civilization on the southern tip of Africa that preceded Sumer and Egypt by 200;000 years • Includes more than 250 original full-color photographs of South Africa’s circular stone ruins; ancient roads; prehistoric mines; large pyramids; and the first Sphinx • Reveals how these 200;000-year-old sites perfectly match Sumerian descriptions of the gold mining operations of the Anunnaki and the city of Enki • Shows how the extensive stone circle complexes are the remains of Tesla-like technology used to generate energy and carve tunnels straight into the Earth With more than 250 original full-color photographs; Michael Tellinger documents thousands of circular stone ruins; monoliths; ancient roads; agricultural terraces; and prehistoric mines in South Africa. He reveals how these 200;000-year-old sites perfectly match Sumerian descriptions of Abzu; the land of the First People--including the vast gold-mining operations of the Anunnaki from the 12th planet; Nibiru; and the city of Anunnaki leader Enki. With aerial photographs; Tellinger shows how the extensive stone circle and road complexes are laid out according to the principles of sacred geometry and represent the remains of Tesla-like technology used to generate energy and carve immensely long tunnels straight into the Earth in search of gold--tunnels that still exist and whose origins had been a mystery until now. He reveals; with photographic evidence; that the human civilization spawned by the Anunnaki was the first to create many totems of ancient Egypt; such as the Horus bird; the Sphinx; the Ankh; and large pyramids; as well as construct an accurate stone calendar; at the heart of their civilization; aligned with the Orion constellation. He explores how their petroglyphs; carved into the hardest rock; are nearly identical to the hieroglyphs of Sumerian seals. Mapping thousands of square miles of continuous settlements and three urban centers--each one larger than modern-day Los Angeles--Tellinger provides the physical proof of Zecharia Sitchin’s theories on the Anunnaki origins of humanity.

Exceptionally goodBy Daryl CarpenterHaving recently read the recently published French Battleships of World War One; it made sense to re-read this one in order to get a complete view of French battleship development through the years. John Jordan has since published three similar volumes on French battleships; cruisers; and destroyers; all of which are very fine books in their own right. Although this book has the luxury of only having to focus on four ships; the Dunkerque and Richelieu classes; (and a couple which were never completed); it nonetheless achieves a balance the other three books in the series don't QUITE achieve.After an introduction focusing on the impact of the Washington Naval Treaty and the moribund state of French capital ship design in the post-war era; the majority of the book focuses on the ships themselves. The book is arranged by alternating historical and technical chapters; which actually works better than the more segregated approach used by its successors. The history of each ship is laid out in some detail; the text accompanied with maps; orders of battle; diagrams of battle damage; lists of commanding and flag officers; and official reports. The technical chapters describe salient features of the ships' armor; armament; fire control machinery; command spaces; aviation facilities; and post-completion modifications.Where this book really shines; though; is the amount of detail and the quality of its presentation. The photographs; for the most part; are finely grained; well chosen; and have useful captions. An eight-page color section includes crisp plan and profile views of each ship at different stages during their careers. A large number of diagrams are provided; ranging from deck plans of Dunkerque's forward tower; to cross-sections through different types of shell; armor layouts; and depictions of the damage "Jean Bart" received at Casablanca. A large number of specification tables and insets accompany the text; including some interesting descriptions of French naval infrastructure. The overall look of the book harks back to the classic naval references of the 70s and 80s; but considering that most of the maps and diagrams are computer-drawn; it's definitely slicker and more polished.I seriously wish more warship monographs were like this. It's a very tight; concise work which doesn't mess around with extraneous details. It manages to deliver a solid dose of historical and technical details without totally overwhelming the reader. It has a couple flaws here and there (propulsion details are a little sketchy; and there isn't much in the way of analysis of strengths and flaws); but it's still among my favorite naval references.36 of 36 people found the following review helpful. Nice technical and operational historyBy Mark HindsThis book primarily covers the WWII-era French battleships Dunkerque; Strassbourg; Richelieu; and Jean Bart; from a technical and historical perspective. It appears to be an English-language update of French-language monographs written on this topic by one of the two authors; previously published by "Marines Editions".The book is worth purchasing for its own sake; however. Although much of the material is similar to its predecessor; it is organized differently; and it is written in English. It also contains additional material; including 2 preliminary chapters discussing the planned/constructed French battleship predecessors of these ships; color plans and profiles showing paint schemes; and a bit more historical discussion. The book also exhibits very high-quality production values; with improved line drawings; diagrams; and photographs.The bibliography is a bit sketchy.Although I already own the Dulin/Garzke/Webb "Allied Battleships in World War Two"; as well as the Dumas monographs mentioned above; and thus already have access to similar material; I was happy with my purchase.22 of 22 people found the following review helpful. French Battleships described in detailBy Nathan F. OkunThis book has extremely large amounts of detailed information on many aspects of warship design that are skipped in other books. Details on the projectile design are excellent; for example. Since this is the "business end" of the warship's ability to defeat an enemy; the design of projectiles and how they work is important; second only to the fire-control system that aims them at the target (being able to hit is somewhat more important than best possible results when a hit occurs; if you have to pick one or the other). The various problems that occurred due to the designers "biting off more than they could chew" in some aspects of the design of these ships shows the importance of limiting the risk by using equipment that already exists or that is not a lot different from current designs -- the problems with the anti-aircraft systems is particularly informative. All-in-all; well worth the price if this is interesting to you.
