Customer Reviews

A good summary of many researches
This book is a good summary of many researches done before Mr Childress wrote the book. In particular, the chapter on Giza power plant was a good summary of Mr Dunn's book.

As a whole, the book is refreshing and proves that technology of high sophistication existed before, or rather have been in existence for longer than our conventional views of history permit us.

Depends on how you look at it, this book can be taken as support for theory of Atlantis, Sitchin's idea of the Annunakis or even Daniken's Chariots of the Gods.

On the whole, great stuff, and an eye opener!

Fantastic Read, Very Informative
I fantastic read, covers lots of aspects of different ancient civilisations and possible technology that they had. Brings up lots of questions as to how the pyramids were really constructed right through to the discovery of large portions of desert covered in a sheet of glass, possibly created from atomic blasts thousands of years ago.
Overall a very well written book and keeps the reader interested throughout. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in ancient history

Don't waste your money
I found this book a huge disappointment. It was chaotically laid out and very difficult to follow as the same typeface was used for the author's own words and the (very extensive) quotations from other authors. Many of the illustrations were repeated at least twice throughout the text, and the photos/ illustrations were of poor quality.

The author cannot be accused of plagiarism since he gave correct attribution whenever he quoted from another author, but as I had just finished reading Christopher Dunn's book The Giza Power Plant, I was well placed to realise what huge chunks of Mr Dunn's book had been quoted in this book. I would think at least a third of this book consists of quoting the work of other authors.

Lastly, the references were very poor. Nearly every time I thought "What? That can't be right, where's the reference?", there was no reference.

Don't waste your money on this derivative dross.
