Excellent

Customer Rating:

This is just a quick thumbs up for the previous two reviews which sum up the book nicely. There is much food for thought and plenty of information for further reading. Some of the most interesting aspects for me were the descriptions of the ancient structures found in the pacific ocean. Undoubtedly the remnants of the lost civilisation of Lemuria that the inhabitants of Hawaii, South America and other pacific islands claim to have descended from in their 'myths'.

Great Book

Customer Rating:

I loved this book. It has short essays by most of the big names in this genre and I found it extremely informative. Plenty of further reading to be had here. I saw it as a gateway to a whole new field of authors and their opinions on how civilisation started, through to how the Pyramids are actually a power station! If you like short, thought provoking stories you'll love it, if you like different views on how civilisation started and what the meaning of life is you love it too. Hope this helps - I lent it to a friend and......she loved it.

A window into a fascinating area

Customer Rating:

Having decided to explore the area of ancient mysteries and the origins of humanity I decided that this book would be the ideal way in. Gladly, this is the case. The collection of short essays on different but related topics provides a superb overview of many of the thoughts in this area. Consequently, as an introduction to further reading it is ideal but should not be underrated as a great stand alone read. I was (surprisingly) impressed with the rigour applied in each essay - the writers in each case being keenly aware of the need to present opinion in the context of evidence and reasoning. Very compelling.
