Sailing to Paradise : The Discovery of the Americas in 5000 B.C. Book

In Sailing to Paradise, Jim Bailey alters our fundamental understanding of history. Bailey draws on the labors and findings of a great variety of experts - archaeologists, language experts, anthropologists, biologists, historians, collectors of myth and oral tradition, and geographers - and sets out to show that there has really been a global village several times before. Applying his extensive research, Bailey shows the genesis of our various religions, the spread of the matriarchal world, the worship of the Great Goddess, the early history of Africa, and the early worldwide use of mining and technology. He points out that America has been a world power at least twice before. Sailing to Paradise is a brilliant, comprehensive recreation of history that will appeal to anyone fascinated with the possibilities of our far-distant past.

This boldly original work offers a breathtaking view of our early history, showing that Columbus was not the first to discover America, and that the voyagers who did, thousands of years before Christ, were explorers from a long-forgotten seafaring age. Bailey ranges broadly in lore and myth, and offers a fascinating new view of the Atlantis legend. Illustrations & maps.
