Excellent - By: Mr. E. Langhorne, 10 Jul 2008 
This is just a quick thumbs up for the previous two reviews which sum up the book nicely. There is much food for thought & plenty of information for further reading. Some of the most interesting aspects for me were the descriptions of the ancient structures foundin the pacific ocean. Undoubtedly the remnants of the lost civilisation of Lemuria that the inhabitants of Hawaii, South America & other pacific islands claim to have descended fromin their 'myths'.
Great Book - By: Claireopatra, 10 Jan 2008 
I loved this book. It has short essays by most of the big namesin this genre & 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 & 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 & 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 - By: Keen2learn, 26 Jul 2007 
Having decided to explore the area of ancient mysteries & 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 thoughtsin 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 appliedin each essay - the writersin each case being keenly aware of the need to present opinionin the context of evidence & reasoning. Very compelling.
