Summary: Technology of the Gods
Review: A great book if you don't know where to begin or are just curious. Presented like a Ripley's believe it or not of the ancient world. A handy reference to the many oddities of the unexplained.

Summary: Very Interesting
Review: Even if you do not agree with everything in this book, this author does a great job of discussing technology that ancient people had. The text is highlighted by pictures that enhance many of this statements he makes. The author does a great job of taking information from a variety of sources to prove his points and clarify his writing. My two complaints are that some of the pictures are so small that they are frustrating because you can't see much of the detail. Second, the assumption is made that you know about many of the places in this book and I don't. I had never heard of many of these places until reading this book. I would have appreciated a few maps to help clarify where some of these places are. Great book. Very interesting. Enjoy.

Summary: A rehash
Review: Everything in this book has been written about already by authors like Erich von Daniken, Charles Berlitz, Alan Landsburg, Andrew Tomas, and countless others. And still nobody has come up with a satisfactory explanation in 30 years...

Summary: ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE
Review: I bought this book with great anticipation...was on the waiting list for months! When it finally became available I couldn't wait to read it. I flipped through it in even more anticipation at the fantastic pictures and illustrations once I got it. I have to say I was thrilled and dissappointed all at once. The content of the book was absolutely fascinating. The author stirred up subjects that totally engulfed me; but as I'd read into each, I found him wandering off into some other rather uninteresting part of the subject and leaving me dieing to get back to the origional thought...which he often didn't. I got the feeling that he hurried the book and that it never really got edited... Thoughts ran off the page and never got finished; as if pages were missing from the printing. I'd like to see this entire book re-thought and rewritten, because the CONTENT of the book is astounding to say the least. I'd recommend it to anyone who's digging into ancient history/origins because it has so much interesting material. But I would certainly warn them that it's not a well written or easy to follow book. I actually found myself getting bored with the author's wandering thoughts, especially when he teased with a fascinating subject, then wandered off to la la land.

Summary: Pseudo science at its best
Review: I enjoyed this book immensely, apart from typographical errors poor editing and poor science this is a classic. I think the best bit is "heavy protons in mercury." Does this mean that protons in other elements are lighter?...not... A more scientific approach such as..this may be...or even, perhaps this could be..or, one interpretation... One doesn't expect too much use of passive voice past impersonal, but it would lend more credibility to some of the shallow arguments presented in this book if this had been done. I for one certainly believe there is nothing new under the sun. Some of the artifacts presented in this book are extraordinary and require more thorough scientific study and presentation.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: This book is filled with incredible and plausible descriptions of technology that has been ignored or explained away by traditional science. A MUST read for anyone that believes there are many secrets hidden in the past.

Summary: Very enlightening
Review: this is a great book for introductory, the author tries his best to cram as much as possible in little space, thus leaving out a lot of detail, also the author starts over exaggerating towards page 334, over all it is a good book..brings a lot of stuff to light....

Summary: This is a Great Book.
Review: This is a great book that is easy and fun to read. It takes your mind on a journey of adventure and forces the reader to think. My copy is filled with all kinds of penciled in notes, and it served me well. After I read this book I then went and followed up on other articles and issues that were raised in the book. It took me on an adventure that continues to this day. If you want to know about our past, and are tired of the stories of cavemen with greasy and dirty hands living in caves, then read this book. You will not regret it.
