    About this audiobook

    This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).


    Welcome to a world full of mystery, folklore and legend. From supposed stargates to powerful deities; from fantastic giants to steampunk style science-fiction. This is not an alien planet or a fantasy land, this is planet Earth of the past. And yet, it was a world of wonder and great physical and mental achievements. Now, even with our modern day science, there are a great many remnants of the ancient world that remain an enigma.


    From the great civilizations of antiquity we will discover the amazing works of architecture and art. Huge monuments erected for gods and kings. Mysterious artefacts re-discovered after remaining hidden for thousands of years. From the Great Pyramid of Giza to the Statue of Zeus at Olympia; from the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus to the strange Antikythera mechanism. And as we move around the planet we will unlock the secrets of Stonehenge and through that the movements of the planets.


    Welcome to the Top Ten Ancient World Secrets.
