Frank Joseph - 12 June

Power Places and the Master Builders of Antiquity

For decades, Frank Joseph has unraveled with compelling evidence the vast hidden and complicated history of Earth and the rise and fall of advanced civilizations across every continent. In his latest book, Power Places and the Master Builders of Antiquity, he unwinds the mystery of mysterious ancient sites left here by these advanced cultures whose knowledge of the multidimensional universe empowered them with expanded consciousness and otherworldly science. Break free from the old paradigms that lock you into a fixed illusion of hopeless reality by unleashing the unbridled beliefs, told brilliantly in Frank Josephs writings, that shift us into immortal sovereignty. A courageous warrior of truth, Frank leaves you with the deepest yearning for the truth of where we came from and why we are here.

I have known Frank Joseph as a fellow researcher and author for years, and with his latest book, he has outdone himself. He makes me wish I had his ability to see so deeply into the otherwise unseen. Franks writing is a journey of the mind, especially in Power Places and the Master Builders of Antiquity.

I have heard many of Frank Josephs well-researched lectures over the past twenty years, and he has put the same attention to facts and detail into his latest book. By collecting over thirty modern and ancient power places from around the world, Frank demonstrates that the power and wisdom of the ancients is still with us today. This work connects many locations across time and space and uncovers some common threads between them. The adventurous soul would do well to use this book as the start of a bucket list of sacred sitesboth ancient and modernthroughout the world.

Foreword

I have known author Frank Joseph for a quarter century, dating back to his first book about sacred sites and power places. What people might not realize at first is how Frank personally explores and studies the places he writes about.

I happened to work at the publishing house that released Franks first book and it was a personal joy and privilege for me to promote the book. I remember how Frank and I worked out a slide show for the national bookfair held that year at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. We rented a private room for Franks slides of sacred sites and power places and pretty much packed the room. Frank narrated the picture show, something he continues to do today with much relish (although hes now updated his photo presentation to Power Point pictures from his laptop). Frank always speaks with great enthusiasm and knowledge about the places he has explored and studied as a journalist. He climbs hillsides, jumps into boats, and dons a diving suit to get a first-person perspective wherever possible.

Well, I always wanted Frank to write a big sequel to his first book on power places; somehow I believe Frank always did, too. Nonetheless, he moved along successfully as a writer with something like three dozen other books, all on parallel subjects. He has written about synchronicity, early American civilizations, runes, dolphins, and many other ancient mysteries around the world. All of these other books, of course, are fascinating and eye-opening, as he explores the mysteries of both the modern and ancient world.

Meanwhile, Franks pent-up appetite for studies of power places and sacred sites of the Earth led to many magazine articles. Frank worked for a while at FATE magazine in marketing and as a writer and also served as an editor in chief at Ancient American magazine.

I am very familiar with FATE magazine. It was for several years a part of the same publishing house where I once worked on Franks first book. To some small degree while there, I helped build the distribution of the magazine and managed the advertising department for FATE. It was at this publishing house where I also met the editor of the magazine, Phyllis Galde. She subsequently purchased the magazine and moved it down the road to her place.

Frank followed Phyllis to serve awhile on staff and also to write for FATE, contributing many articles. Many of his best articles from this long-revered magazine are now collected here in this wonderfully illustrated book.

There is something for everyone in this colorful collection. Are you interested in pyramids, UFOs, the Templars, Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle, or the Ark of the Covenant? Then read this book. How about communicating with the dead or elemental beings? Read on.

One thing you can always be certain about when you read a Frank Joseph book. He puts his entire heart and soul into exploring and describing the ancient mysteries of our world. And he includes a lot of wonderful illustrations to bring it all home for you. What could be more interesting?

INTRODUCTION

Strange, but True

In an earlier century, as a twelve-year-old student, I was sternly warned by Dominican nuns at St. Joseph Catholic Grammar School in Homewood, Illinois, to avoid a neighborhood drugstore, where copies of the demonic monthly FATE magazine lured Christian souls into Satans clutches. It would have horrified me at the time to know that someday, in an inconceivably distant future, my words would appear in the Devils own journal. True, FATE has played fair with pagan and non-Christian concepts. But, because its writers and readers are nondenominationally interested in every manifestation of the otherworldly, extraordinary places like Father Dobbersteins Grotto of the Redemption and Bosnias Virgin Mary apparitions at Medugorje are also favorably reviewed in FATE.

Ive been working for the magazine since 1989, beginning with the Visionary of Atlantis, included in this anthology of my FATE articles. Writing them has been a life-changing experience, because they opened up whole vistas of existence I knew little or nothing about, until forced to investigate. There was the incredible responsiveness of water to human interaction, both ancient and contemporary sacred sites across America and around the world, prehistoric pyramids in China, a lost city in the Pacific Ocean, the Bermuda Triangle, modern-day prophets, nature spirits, snake handlers, reincarnation, communicating with the dead, psychic viewing of the Great Sphinx with our readersthe variety and scope of these alternative realities was not only mind-altering, but also conscience-expanding.
