This audiobook is about ancient tunnels and underground cities. From the previous research I’ve done on related topics, I do strongly believe that these findings are related to ancient civilizations which we know existed from ruins on the Earth.

Thuis leven alsof je op reis bent, dat is de kunst van het minimalisme. Dennis Storm heeft in al die jaren van reizen in totaal zo'n drie jaar uit een koffer geleefd en in al die hotels zijn liefde voor afgemeten interieurs, functioneel design en minimalisme ontdekt. "Leven alsof je op reis bent", zonder onnodige ballast. In Weg ermee deelt hij zijn visie op minimalisme: "Simpel gezegd is minimalisme, of het nu over architectuur, interieur of een levenswijze gaat, te beschrijven middels een kort zinnetje: teruggaan naar de essentie.

Transcending Architecture considers the mysterious, profound, and real power of designed environments to address the spiritual dimension of our humanity. The book offers a wide, critical, and nuanced understanding of the lived relationship between the built and the numinous worlds. It examines phenomenological, symbolic and designerly ways in which the holy gets fixed and experienced through buildings, landscapes, and urban forms, and not just in institutionally defined religious or sacred places. Transcending Architecture brings together a stellar group of scholars and practitioners to share their insights: architect Juhani Pallasmaa and philosopher Karsten Harries, comparative religion scholar Lindsay Jones and architectural theoretician Karla Britton, sacred architecture researcher Thomas Barrie and theologian Kevin Seasoltz, landscape architect Rebecca Krinke and Faith & Form magazine editor Michael Crosbie, are among the illustrious contributors.
