ABOUT THE BOOK William R. Corliss’s "Ancient Man: A Handbook of Puzzling Artifacts" (1978), published by The Sourcebook Project, is a legendary and deeply fascinating catalog of archaeological anomalies. Corliss, a physicist by training, spent decades scouring the world's leading scientific journals (such as Nature, Science, and American Anthropologist) to compile thousands of verified reports that mainstream archaeology struggled to explain. This massive, beautifully illustrated handbook explores out-of-place artifacts (OOPARTs), enigmatic ancient structures, anomalous coins, unexplained engineering feats, and curious rock inscriptions. It remains a foundational and highly sought-after reference volume for researchers, alternative historians, and collectors of Forteana.
