Maailman mysteerit: selittämättömiä ihmeitä ja arvoituksellisia ilmiöitä

by Herbert Genzmer, Ulrich Hellenbrand, Katri Mäkinen (Translator)

Meidän maailmassamme on paljon arvoituksellisia paikkoja ja selittämättömiä tapahtumia, joista tiedämme vielä varsin vähän, vaikka niitä on tutkittu vuosikaudet. Tässä kirjassa käsitellään Graalin maljaa ja muita taruesineitä, salaperäisiä löytöjä, jotka viittaavat muinaisajan pitkälle kehittyneeseen tekniikkaan, jetiä ja muita eläimiä, joita kryptoeläintiede tutkii, ja paljon muita arvoituksia.

Kirja tempaa lukijan mukaansa matkalle mysteerien maailmaan ja antaa mielenkiintoisia vastauksia ja selitysehdotuksia kysymyksiin, jotka ovat askarruttaneet ihmiskuntaa ja askarruttavat meitä edelleen.

The book, with a somewhat reverse translation, "Mysterier: oförklarliga under och sällsamma händelser", brings up a lot of strange and unexplained phenomenon. Genzmer mentions very interesting mysteries that have been capturing people's minds for several millenia, as well as phenomenon from the last century. The author presents theories and explanations, suggested by researchers and scientists, that are possible and extraordinary.

Have you ever had the feeling that you have experienced something before? Have you wondered about ancient cities and their knowledge of astronomy and technology that made them build something resembling batteries? Have you wondered about events in the Bible? Are you fascinated by the holy grail? This book is about most of the mysteries there has ever been, and the reader is on a constant adventure. Every page offers incredible information and interesting explanations.

Genzmer discusses Atlantis, the pyramids, Stonehenge, ancient technology, nano-spirals, the Piri Reis map, the holy grail, Bible stories, the Bermuda triangle, the Nazca lines, the Loch Ness-monster, Tunguska, déjà vu, ghosts, ufo:s, crop circles, healers, clairvoyance, telepathy and time travel.

The reader gets much information about different areas and gets the opportunity to cultivate an interest. Even though it's not so much about each one of the phenomenon, it's a great reading experience and it serves as a gateway, an inspiration to further reading.

Неоднозначно, немає стовідсоткових доказів, загадки, таємниці, єті, покинуті міста, сліди інопланетян..
Це невеликий вступ у той всесвіт, який живить конспірологію і недовіру до науки, замість надихати у науку приходити.

Fascinating to say the least. Much of the "mysteries" are well-known conspiracies, but this volume tries to give several different explanations for them rather than focusing on one. Some I had never heard about. Interesting coffee-table book full of photos and illustrations.

[April Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

What ages would I recommend it too? – Twelve and up.

Length? – A couple of day's read.

Characters? – Mostly two to four page stories.

Setting? – Real world mysteries as well as fascinating myths that may, or may not be real.

Written approximately? – 2007.

Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Ready to read more.

Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? No.

Short storyline:

Notes for the reader: This book comes with a 50 minute video. Most of the segments are well edited. Near the end. two are in need of editing, and a few more have a few misplaced words. Double verbs and such are probably due to translation errors. Also, several different writers wrote the stories ion different style,s causing some slight duplication and conflicts between stories in places.

Tämä oli mielenkiintoinen kirja. Hieman jo vanhentunutta tietoa vaikka kirja onkin vuodelta 2007.

Monipuolisesti kirjoitettu, melkein kaikki vaihtoehdot otettu huomioon mikä saattaisi olla oikea vastaus mysteereihin. Joissakin asioissa ehkä hieman puolueellinen. Mutta mielenkiintoinen lukukokemus kuitenkin. En oikein osaa sanoa mitään muuta kirjasta, valitettavasti. Tietokirjana ihan hyvä perusteos joka antaa pienen pintaraapaisun kaikesta mahdollisesta.

Kirja kyllä innosti lähtemään matkustelemaan ympäri maailman kaikissa ihmeellisissä paikoissa ja käydä itse kokemassa. Ehkä vielä joskus pääsenkin!

Beautiful photos make the book worth reading. Some of the mysteries have been resolved recently such as the lost city of Atlantis and where crop circles come from. I would recommend perusal of the book.

[Andy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found that this book gave some new theories to old myths and mysteries that have been around for hundreds of years.
The material is updated to present with new conundrums, but I found that there was more questions than answers keeping this book entertaining all the way through.

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce livre qui présente de nombreux phénomènes assez incroyables de façon simple et bien illustré. J'aurai juste aimé que certains sujets soient plus poussé. Mais disons que ce livre nous donne un aperçu des sujets sur lesquels se plonger plus tard.

Thorough and concise, but a bit of a dry read at times.
