Talisman: Sacred Cities, Secret Faith

Talisman is a roller-coaster intellectual journey through the back streets and rat runs of history to uncover the traces in architecture and monuments of a secret religion that has shaped the world. Pivotal historical events and processes, not least the Renaissance, the birth of scientific rationalism, and the French and American Revolutions, are radically re-evaluated in the light of new investigative evidence presented for the first time in Talisman. Even the belief that the United States has a "global mission," so obvious today may ultimately prove to be less the result of a short-term reaction to terrorism than the inevitable working out of a covert plan originally set in motion almost 2,000 years ago.

Talisman's amazing revelations, extensive documentation, and all-encompassing theories make it impossible to ever look at our world in the same way again.
