I got this book not long after its release because I had similar questions about why so many civilizations around the world would have decided to build enigmatic and very difficult to engineer, pyramids. This book is an ancient mysteries bible that gets the mind going in so many interesting directions concerning the REAL history of the world! Brilliant!

What a magical read. I feel as if I just traveled the world and gained insight into a different reality. The further you go into the past the clearer things seem to become. Truly eye opening. Thank you for this gift.

I really enjoyed this book very much the only reason I did not make it five stars was some of the areas were a little too scientific and difficult for me to understand. I really enjoyed the book anyway.

Refers to Black people as negroes and uses the term “negro stock” repeatedly. Certainly reprehensible, otherwise interesting content.

This book should be in schools and should substitute the history books that are used in our still used very old system. My view of history has been changed for ever and I’ll just go on and read the next book in line from Graham. Research will set us free

One of the Best books I’ve ever read. Absolutely loved it..,

Great book.

Fantastic book by Mr. Graham Hamcock...a must read.. Excited for the upcoming sequel. In the meantime I'll be reading his fiction based novel 'war gods'

In short, Hancock has done his research and this book reflects that. His seemingly endless and fantastically intriguing references led to a compelling argument that blew my mind every 10 pages. I definitely recommend this book and plan on reading it through again in the near future.

One of the books that started it all, in terms of questioning the established version of history and the origins of human civilization. Very well supported researched, with very intriguing questions being raised, though never in a very outlandish way. Amazing!
