What if humanity is not the first civilization to walk this world?
According to Aztec mythology, the world has already been created and destroyed four times before. Entire ages vanished beneath floods, fire, storms, and chaos. Humanity now lives beneath the Fifth Sun - another temporary world destined to fall like the ones before it. But the Aztecs were not alone. From the flood myths of Mesopotamia to the lost city of Atlantis, from Ragnar闥 in the frozen north to the endless cycles of ancient India, civilizations across the world told remarkably similar stories. Different cultures. Different gods. The same warning. Civilizations collapse. Knowledge disappears. Humanity forgets. In The Fifth Creation: Humanity Was Not the First, Victoria Van Halen explores the disturbing similarities hidden inside ancient mythology, forgotten civilizations, religious symbolism, and historical collapse. Were these myths simply stories, or fragmented memories of real catastrophes buried deep within humanity's past? Blending history, mythology, archaeology, religion, and modern society, this book explores why ancient civilizations feared the same things modern humanity fears today: collapse, corruption, environmental disaster, war, and the dangerous illusion that our civilization is somehow permanent. Dark, thought-provoking, and unsettlingly relevant, The Fifth Creation challenges the comforting belief that modern humanity has escaped the cycles that destroyed the worlds before it. Because perhaps the greatest danger facing civilization is not catastrophe itself. But the belief that it cannot happen again.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
