Book Description
I have always been intrigued by the fact that most of the ancient people - including very famous philosophers, politicians, army generals and even kings and emperors - never doubted or questioned the existence of the gods. Nowadays someone who admitted to believing in the gods would be considered stupid or absolutely crazy. If we consider personalities such as Socrates, Aristotle, Epicurus or Alexander the Great, to mention just a few, as they all believed in many gods, can they for this reason be classified as stupid or even crazy? Man, as the most intelligent creature on Earth has always been aware of an extraordinarily powerful being, creator of the world - 'God'. This awareness has inseminated in Man's mind the religious feelings. If there is only one God, why have men believed in many gods? Weren't the gods only myth? Did the gods really exist? On Earth existed also other beings superior to humans. They claimed to own Heaven and Earth, and to have created Man, - the gods. If there is only one God, why there are so many religions? Is the God in which we firmly believe only one of the many gods of the ancient past? Can it be proved that they really existed? Have the gods been confused with the real God, the 'Creator'? Could they have manipulated the genetic structure of mankind? How could that have happened? I want to find explanations that withstand intellectual scrutiny, and clarify many arguments created by such issues. I am presenting an alternative way, in an effort to avoid the errors of the past. Consider this book as a journey to the top of the highest mountain, at the end you will be astounded by the extraordinary view.

Book Description
With Digging Up the Dead, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Michael Kammen reveals a treasure trove of fascinating, surprising, and occasionally gruesome stories of exhumation and reburial throughout American history. Taking us to the contested grave sites of such figures as Sitting Bull, John Paul Jones, Frank Lloyd Wright, Daniel Boone, Jefferson Davis, and even Abraham Lincoln, Kammen explores how complicated interactions of regional pride, shifting reputations, and evolving burial practices led to public and often emotional battles over the final resting places of famous figures. Grave-robbing, skull-fondling, cases of mistaken identity, and the financial lures of cemetery tourism all come into play as Kammen delves deeply into this little-known—yet surprisingly persistent—aspect of American history. Simultaneously insightful and interesting, masterly and macabre, Digging Up the Dead reminds us that the stories of American history don’t always end when the key players pass on. Rather, the battle—over reputations, interpretations, and, last but far from least, possession of the remains themselves—is often just beginning.
