Summary: Never mind reviews! Buy this book, it's excellent!
Review: I've just finished reading it and my perspective has expanded quite a bit. As a Christian I found the approach to Genesis illuminating and was pleased that the author drew many conclusions which I feel are compatible with my faith. I could not bring myself to give the book five stars, however, because after so many pages of exciting reading the ending is a great dissappointment. After the near-constant flow of interesting ideas, in the last few pages we are given a typical 1970 "Age of Aquarius" panegyric, full of praise for the alleged moral superiority of the hedonistic youth of the time. Instantly the book becomes very dated, and then it ends. If this happened earlier in the book I could have just considered it as history but as an ending it's a great let-down. It's still a wonderful book. I imagine that when I read his other books I'll give them all five stars!

Summary: Is this a first draft?
Review: The content itself was very interesting.
The entire book is short chapters of journal notes with the occasional splash of commentary thrown in.
Badly written, poorly organized.
He could have at least organized it chronologically.The constant way of making himself out to be some sort of
superhero got very annoying very quickly.

Summary: A Fortean Classic
Review: This book-originally released in 1970,gives a general overview of the unusual engimas left behind by previous civilizations (the pyramids and other lesser known wonders),theories on the evolution of man,ufo's, missing persons,and other oddities and attempts to tie it all together in one general thesis. Very entertaining. Keel is an excellent writer who will keep you turning the page. Somewhat lighter than Keel's other books- which makes it a good intro to a reader new to the authors work. It does jump around a bit. Apperently many of the chapters were cobbled together from magazine articles. However it still is a fascinating book,well worth reading
