Who needs Indiana Jones when we’ve got Matthew Haigh on the case?

Matt reads up on the legends behind the crystal skulls…

Documentaries, on the whole, bore me.

For years, documentaries have been the staple of BBC2 Sunday evening schedules.

In all honesty, this is not an easy book to review.

It is one that inspires both awe and scepticism on every page.

Above all, it is an extremely informative account packed with mind-bending facts.

With this attitude, it makes absorbing the information in these pages that little bit easier.

Instead, the reader is left to speculate over the facts and hearsay and perhaps reach their own conclusion.
