Description

For those of us who have always been fascinated by the unexplained--or inadequately explained--secrets and mysteries of this world, Sylvia Browne now brings her great insight. Using a combination of information from her spirit guide Francine as well as her own incredible psychic powers, Sylvia augments current scientific research to provide us with detailed explanations about seeming inexplicable concepts. From the Great Pyramid to Stonehenge, Sylvia reveals amazing facts about some of the world's most mysterious sites. The truth behind sacred and controversial objects such as the Shroud of Turin and the Holy Grail are brought to light; and fascinating and mystifying topics such as crop circles, the Lost Continent of Atlantis, UFOs, Easter Island, and much more are examined and clarified. Sylvia tears away the obscure and timeworn explanations that hide the underlying truths about these fascinating subjects.… (more)

Very interesting...if you're crazy! The best part of this book is the giggling that comes with Ms. Browne's theories. Perhaps she is actually guided by Francine from the Spirit World, but if I was a betting man, I'd say the both Francine and Sylvia are quite spaced out! Still it was fun to read.

This is Sylvia's latest book in which she explores such things as crop
circles, crystal skulls, Stonehenge, Atlantis, alien abductions, the
pyramids of the world, the Shroud of Turin (and many other Christian
beliefs), etc.

You either love Sylvia Browne or you think she's a flake. I enjoy her
books and

think she's more right than wrong in her outlook on things,
but that's my personal opinion. This book makes for some interesting
reading, though, and includes research from several other sources.
Since I do a lot of research myself on such a wide variety of subjects,
I'd already read most of her sources, but it was interesting to see her
tie some of them together. Sometimes she states something in such a
logical way that uses insight that's passed right by me, but the more I
stop to think about it, the more I see her point.

What I find interesting is the things that she debunks (vampires, the
Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch, demons, the Devil), versus the things she
upholds as true (crop circles, fairies, extraterrestrials, The Bermuda
Triangle, crystal skulls). I was introduced to some mysteries that I'd
never heard of before, but most of them I was quite familiar with.

I really enjoyed this book and it was quite a quick read. I'd give it a
3.5 but only because it wasn't long enough, didn't go into quite as much
detail as I wish it had, and didn't address nearly enough of the
mysteries of the world. But I suppose such an undertaking would be
enormous, wouldn't it? LOL
