We Are Not The First: Riddles of Ancient Science. ● Robots and computers were a reality centuries before Norbert Wiener. The early inhabitants of England used a computer in stone - Stonehenge - to forecast solar and lunar eclipses. ● An Ancient Hindu book gives detailed instructions for the construction of aircraft - ages before the Wright brothers. ● The Australian aborigines have practiced blood transfusion since prehistoric times, yet this method is relatively new to Western medicine. Andrew Tomas presents the stunning theory that an unknown civilization in Time or Space left the legacy of advanced culture to the peoples of antiquity, proving his remarkable view of the true age of 'modern' science with an impressive array of facts and fascinating descriptions.
