It was written in 1942.. not really to sure about it though.
I’ve flicked through it a bit. There’s some stuff talking about the Israelites being in Britain and America?
Anyone know anything about this topic?

Also, has anyone else had interactions in bookstores that where memorable.

It was a bizarre sect of Christianity that believed that the British were descended from one of the lost tribes of Israel.

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Graham Hancock is a pretty interesting character who has dedicated his Life to pyramids, the flood and Atlantis. Most of the ideas are a bit flimsy, but grounded enough to be interesting in an ”I want to believe” kind of way.

There are a LOT of evidente that suggest the Pyramids and especially the Sphinx are like 10 000 years lider than they are believe to be right now. It’s a rabbit hole.

Water erosion around the sphinx's enclosure suggesting it was built before rain still fell in Egypt, sea salt found in the pyramids - meaning it was once under the sea.
