Since
20 years I follow the footsteps of the Ancient Astronauts all over the
world. You can read a dozen books about a place, but one visit gives
you instantly more perspective then any book ever will. Only if you are
physically there one can experience the climate, environmental
surroundings and all the other factors that contribute to an ancient
place. Only if you felt hurrican-force winds in North Scotland or the
mind-buggling humidity in the jungle of Mexico one can appreciate and
understand what our ancient ancestors have done.
For me
archaeology is more then measuring rocks or cataloging buildings. I'm
convienced that the big mysteries of the world aren't located were they
are out of pure coincidence. The ancient people had a plan and maybe
help from somebody else. That's why I want to encourage you to actively
travel to the ancient sites, see them for yourself and draw your own
conclusions. There is nothing more rewarding then that. And if your
wallet or timetable is not allowing you to travel, investigate in the
area you live in. Maybe you will be surprised with what you find.
But you shouldn't go unprepared. Here a few things I have in my travel bag to conduct my own research.
Being a photographer by education (check out my website www.archeophotography.com) I focus more on the photographic gear.
