Author Description

Crystal Skulls & Human Heads The Mystical History of Glass and the Extinction of the World Mark Olly - Flying Disk Press 2022. Book Summary In a time when the world realized that it is not immortal this little book brings an entirely new view of what it means to be human, what the planet really is, how something as simple as a few grains of sand revolutionized civilization, how extinction is simply a part of nature, and how the whole of life we so comfortably fit into may not be quite what it seems. Nature, science, and technology combine to show the past, present, and future like never before, a life-and-death passage through realms largely unknown to us, but not to those ancient giants of intelligence who came before us. Author Mark Olly seamlessly combines the disciplines of archaeology, geology, science, and human studies, to push the boundaries of human existence wider in both directions and increase our appreciation of just exactly what the human race could potentially be capable of achieving. Far from being an end in itself, this book takes the reader on a magical mystery tour like no other, enlivens the mind, reaches some startling conclusions, and may just change the way we see our future.
