13 Ancient Things that don't make sense in History

13 Ancient Things that don't make sense in History AKA - An idiot's guide to Archaeology & Anthropology is a highly interesting and readable book by historian and author Robert John Langdon.

His book will make you think. He raises some very interesting points about history which tends to challenge things that we think we know.

For example, how could a boat be found atop of a hill in Britain that was found to be 10,000 years old, when this dating showed that the boat was made 7,000 years before they were even invented?

How can it be when, at a time sea levels are apparently rising, Roman ports have been found miles away from the coast?

And how could there be gigantic prehistoric canals constructed to technical standards that were even superior to Victorian engineering?

How can it be that the dragon myths are shared the world over, by civilisations that had no contact with each other?

Could ancient monuments really have been constructed with nothing more than antler picks?

If Columbus was the first European to find the Americas, how come there are artefacts and bones indicating that other Europeans actually arrived 10,000 years before him?

If Troy was located in Turkey, why did it take Jason 10 whole years to get back home to Greece?

What about the world's oldest and greatest civilisation? Where was it? What happened to it? Learn about its surprising location on page 81 of this intriguing book.

And what secrets did our ancient British forbears know about our weather?

All these and even more puzzling and bizarre facts are to be found within this amazing book.
