Yet, this perception covers a secret history that connects the games not only to the \"classical\" societies of the Greeks and Romans, but also to the Bible, earlier Middle Eastern mythologies, and the supposedly barbarian tribes of northern and western Europe. \u003cem\u003eChariot of Knowledge\u003c\/em\u003e finally reveals the long-hidden story of the wider traditions that the Ancient Olympics were just one part of. Based on years of research into ancient sporting events and European mythology, Sandra and Ivo Rato connect the famous games to a nigh-universal set of mystical beliefs that reach all the way back to the roots of Indo-European civilisation. In doing so, they also reveal the motivations that have seen these truths repressed for so many centuries. \u003cem\u003eBuy this book today, on the eve of this year's games in Brazil, to uncover the startling secrets behind their ancient origins.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSandra Rato\u003c\/b\u003e and her father \u003cb\u003eIvo Rato\u003c\/b\u003e worked together in the research and writing of \u003cem\u003eChariot of Knowledge: The Lost History of the Ancient Olympic Games.\u003c\/em\u003e Their investigation of the Ancient Olympics' secret history is grounded in their Lusitanian (Portuguese Celtic) heritage, and was refined through Sandra's studies in archaeology and anthropology at La Trobe University.
