TUESDAY LOBSANG RAMPA RETURNS TO THE CAVE OF THE ANCIENTS
Explore the depths of the unknown with the masterful Lama as he probes the history of the Earth -- Past, Present and Distant Future! Along with his trusted guided Rampa reenters the cave of the ancients and is taken on a tour of the Hall of Records. Here he is permitted to observe ancient events as well as view scenes from our planet's chaotic future soon to effect us all.
Examine with the author:
* The lives of the great Sages who live to be two or three hundred years old while maintaining a youthful appearance.
* The existence of an uncharted orb that entered our atmosphere and almost destroyed the Earth thousands of years ago -- which may return in our lifetime.
* The reality of lost worlds long before Atlantis and their inhabitants, many of them weird looking, "half human, half animal" hybrid-type creatures.
* The evils of fossil fuel and how the use of petroleum can lead to the deaths of millions of innocent people.
* How other civilizations from other planets migrated here in antiquity and how some of them have remained here "hidden from view."
* The reality of parallel universe and its effects of what we think we know about earth's history.
This was one of Rampa's last books and should not be missed. Add it to your library.
Unlike previous books written by the mysterious and most probably (definitely) fictional Rampa this book is a total inversion of the Boys Own Adventure with a dash of ‘oriental’ mysticism. This rambling piece is mostly a fanciful recounting of sixties sci-fi tropes lightly dusted with pseudo spirituality. There is no plot. At all. It’s all wack-a-doo musings about ancient civilizations and aliens under the Himalayas eating dinosaur meat. No joke. And microwave ovens in super clean kitchens. Lots of clean kitchens. Once you add in the description of a precursor to humans in the form of purple eight breasted women, you begin to wonder what Rampa was ingesting with his morning Tsampa. It’s a bizarre and ultimately unsatisfying fantasy that ceases to be engaging and ends up on the WTF end of the Ludicrous Scale. But the awesome book cover earns the one star. PS This book is clearly the origin of most of the 1960-early 1970s Doctor Who episodes set on Earth.
