Synopsis:
I don’t usually write reviews but I borrowed this book from the library and, as i sometimes do, came on amazon to see what others thought only to find there was only one, awful review.
I don’t think this is a 5-Star book, i would say it’s about a 3.5 but i completely disagree with the previous reviewer and felt that I had to balance things out.
He/She claims it to be ’Unsubstantiated New-Age Speculation’...what? as i remember (its been a few months since i read it, so its not fresh in my mind) there is nothing remotely spiritual or New-Age about this book.
They take quite a methodical, scientific approach to the whole thing. Basically, without revealing the conclusions they reach, they look at the similarities between the pyramids of a number of different cultures across the world and the religious ceremonies associated with them (in a detached, observational way). The most interesting part for me is that they try to prove (quite convincingly, I felt) that travel between old world and the Americas was not only possible before Columbus but they also provide dozens of examples to show that there was an exchange of ideas and even trade that cannot be attributed to coincidence. Their thesis is based mainly on historical, cultural, anthropological and archaeological evidence. There are no claims whatsoever of Aliens or Atlantis (it is considered but rejected) or any kind of conspiracy, nothing like that.
would recommend this to anyone who is interested history and is open-minded enough to realise that the history taught by the establishment/mainstream etc is not indisputable fact and can, or rather should be challenged by new theories, which is what this book is doing.
