Proof of a long-forgotten ancient worldwide civilization

Sorcerers of Stone by Camille M. Sauvé is a captivating exploration of the evidence supporting the existence of a long-forgotten ancient worldwide civilisation.

It explains the three distinct architectural styles found at the majority of sacred sites, which represent three ancient world ages. The book examines evidence of the two oldest architectural ages at sites in the Sacred Valley of Peru in depth, connecting them to other sites around the world. Furthermore, it explores the sophisticated science behind the construction of these stone sites, including modern research on acoustic levitation and ancient use of geopolymers.

All around the world, mysterious ancient monoliths with strange features are found—perfectly carved terraces, massive steps, basins, and abstract forms with underground grottos and cave systems. Most archaeologists have a hard time explaining them and attribute their construction to the earliest known cultures in the area.

Examining sacred sites in Peru and their counterparts globally, researcher and journalist Camille M. Sauvé demonstrates how these sites share specific architectural characteristics, revealing evidence of a very ancient culture that once existed worldwide. She delves into the work of Peruvian researcher Alfredo Gamarra, who first detailed the three distinct building styles and construction methods of these sites, linking them to three ancient world ages. Sauvé explains how Hanan Pacha ("heaven above") constructions, the oldest style, are universally revered as sacred by subsequent civilisations. Weaving a tapestry of early humanity, she examines the writings of famous clairvoyants like Rudolf Steiner, Madame Blavatsky, and Edgar Cayce, who recorded early man's works through the Akashic records.

Beyond the more esoteric questions about who could have built these wonders, Sauvé investigates the unique properties of the monoliths themselves and the sophisticated science behind their construction. She shows how they appear to be strategically placed on earth power spots and how many of the rocks exhibit significant piezoelectric properties due to their high quartz and silica content.

Revealing that many sacred sites are much older than previously thought, Camille Sauvé suggests that Peru may hold the secret to remembering our forgotten prehistory in Sorcerers of Stone.
