Mr Whites newest Work “Star.Ships a Prehistory of the Spirits, is a text of the new magical renaissance. Gordon White brings his globally-recognized data and demographics skills to a groundbreaking piece of truly interdisciplinary research. Using mythological, linguistic and astronomical data to reconstruct palaeolithic magical beliefs, Gordon White maps them to the human journey out of Africa, explores which aspects of these beliefs and practices have survived into the Western tradition, and what the implications of those survivals may be. Minds will be blown. The destruction of evidence by archaeologists and suppression by political interests, and the existence of anomalous artefacts all point to a history that needs significant revision. Göbekli Tepe, the Pyramids and Sphinx, Nabta Playa, Gunung Padang, Easter Island, Sundaland are just some of the points spangled across a work of truly cosmic scope.
