' We could always go overland now that we have wheels ' Ross had suggested out of the blue. I'd pulled out an atlas & we'd traced a route down through Africa via countries still marked with their colonial names. Only two strips of water interrupted the flow of land between Edinburgh & Chingola; the English Channel & the Straits of Gibraltar. Fourteen months had passed since Neil Armstrong walked on the moon so Africa couldn't be that difficult could it? A month later we boarded the ferry for Calais... In 1970 newly-weds Ross & Sara set off with extraordinary naivety & a lack of proper preparation to drive from Edinburgh to Zambia in a standard saloon car. Appointment in Zambia is the story of their epic car journey. Sara was 21 (and could not drive) & Ross was 23 when they & their brand new Hillman Hunter (in ' Golden Sand' a colour chosen before they'd opted to drive through the Sahara...) started out. For eight weeks in a trip of over 20 000 kms they slept in the car coped with illness & looked up the barrel of rifles from the wrong end. Apart from the car their only technology was a compass. Their journey encompassed the Sahara where they had to dig themselves out of trouble with Tupperware containers. They also braved war-torn Biafra navigated storm-wrecked roads through equatorial forests & traversed the main tributary of the Congo River (on a raft cobbled together with dug-out canoes by locals). They met lepers pygmies drunken officials prostitutes & missionaries while their journey took them across 13 countries with widely different frontiers customs currencies & language before they reached Chingola
- just in time for Ross to start his new job. Appointment in Zambia is a unique take on an epic journey
- a young couple & their basic car travel acrosss Africa not because they want to challenge themselves & prove something but because they decide it's the best way to get to a new job in Zambia.

Twenty-first century civilization faces economic ecological & spiritual meltdown. To survive this century as civilized people we need to refer back to a time when city life was in harmony with nature & the wider environment. We cannot dismiss the ancients as primitive when they had a blueprint for civilization that first appeared over 5 000 years ago. Perhaps we should look at the ancient past for solutions such as the possibility of an unknown zero-carbon technology. Did they really build giant pyramids with blocks of stone weighing hundreds of tonnes using only slaves hemp rope & copper tools? For the last two thousand years however much has remained hidden
- primarily because the Greeks & the Romans did not have access to the whole archetype. The Church then further compounded the loss of knowledge under layers of misinterpretation. This book reveals more about the original concepts going back to the end of the Ice Age identifying the earliest principles & what happened to them.
