This is Donald Mackenzie's able retelling of the Northern mythological cycle. He weaves a coherent narrative from the Eddas, the Niebelunglied, the Volsung Saga, Beowulf, the primordial Hamlet myths, and Medieval German tales of chivalry.
Other Tongues, Other Flesh is a book about alien contactees. George Hunt Williamson was a pioneering UFO researcher. He invented the concept of 'walk-ins,' who he called 'The Wanderers.' Walk-ins are normal humans who are actually (unknown to themselves) reincarnated 'Space Brothers.' Williamson also worked with George Adamski, another UFO pioneer. One of the centerpieces of this book is a labored interpretation of symbols in footpri...
This book was apparently written by Eros Urides, a Martian, and edited by J.L. Kennon. It's a description of how Martians live, which sounds suspiciously like Socialism with a bit of Christianity thrown in for good measure.

Still one of the largest pieces of architecture ever constructed, the Great Pyramid has long been the subject of wonder as to when it was built, by whom, and most importantly, why. The conventional explanation is that it was built during the reign of the Pharaoh Khufu by skilled Egyptian laborers as a funerary monument.

God the Invisible King is a theological tract by H.G. Wells. In it, he rejects the belief of God as the Creator, and sets apart his own theories from Christianity, appealing for a 'modern religion'; one that has no revelation or founder.
