review 1: This author clearly did his research as he covers a wide and fairly comprehensive range of ancient artifacts, monuments, and literature regarding the likely origins of ancient civilizations, i.e. extraterrestrial aliens. I found this a well done review as much, but not all, of the material I have read elsewhere over the years. He does a particularly good job summarizing the views of Zacharia Sitchin, author of The 12th Planet, and in less depth, the views of Joseph P. Farrell, author of The Cosmic War, both of whom I have read extensively. The first two thirds of the book focus on the theories for explaining these archeological anomalies. I was pleasantly surprised to see a discussion of monoatomic gold as the only other source I've found over the years on this topic was L... moreaurence Gardner's Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark. If you've never read this kind of research, this book is an excellent starting point. The last third of the book then moves on to the topic of who is suppressing this kind of information and why. I found this part less well done as it contains very little hard factual evidence and lots of conjecture. That doesn't mean his thesis is wrong, just not well proven. He goes on a lengthy rant about nefarious efforts at global domination by the global elites via population control, genetically modified foods, environmental pollution, the establishment of a police state, and private issuance of interest bearing national debt, i.e. the Federal Reserve. The monetary aspect was interesting and most likely the most important part but seemed lost among the rhetoric on the other aspects. Personally I found Joseph P. Farrell's discussions on the origins of private banking better reading and more convincing. However don't let the last third of the book discourage you from reading the first two thirds. I checked this book out from my library.
review 2: At first I thought this was just a load of hogwash, but then I realized that Mr. Marrs had hit on some things that were true. Some of his predictions or assertions, really, have cropped up on the news recently. His ideas about the culprits behind some things like GMOs and toxic waste were spot on. My only real complaint about this book is that it jumps around. Seemingly, there's little connection between some of his topics, but then they come together - loosely. I'm not sure about Mr. Marrs' alien ideas, but I do think that wealth sticks together. That part seems obvious.This book in an interesting read. I'm not sure I buy into all of Mr. Marrs claims, but some of them are thought-provoking for sure. less
