Product Description
This is a work of breathtaking scope and originality. Yet Stan Gooch's reconstruction of the lost civilisation which preceded our own, and unlike other such attempts, is based at every turn on hard and accepted archaeological fact, the extensive red ochre mines of southern Africa (100,000-40,000 years Before Present) the bear skull altar of Drachenloch in Switzerland (75,000 years Before Present) the flower graves of Iraq (60,000 years Before Present). It is not just the case that we were not the first. It is the case, amazingly, that all ancient legends are true. The Minotaur did live at the centre of the maze, Sleeping Beauty did waken to the Knight's kiss, the fairy people did meet and dance in the moonlight, and Woman once ruled the whole magical Earth.

Amazing... December 15, 2005

The only way I think anyone would ever entertain the idea of reading a book like this, is that said person has broken free from the schackles of our education system...
I don't remember who made the following statement..
Don't let all your education get in the way of your learning..
This book is that rarefied air...that we all need..
This brings together such diverse topics as the demonization of the number 13, the myth of a year and a day and why it is in so many fairy tales...makes understandable why the Kennewick Man found in Washington State has been suppressed...the many neanderthal cave paintings in France dating from 50000 years ago and their incredible technique, orthodoxy doesn't even allow for the fact that Neanderthal could speak...
this book looks beyond the genesis of our quotidian religious beliefs that center around a Saviour sacrificed and resurrection of christianity, dionysian cults, Zorastriasm to see that these Sun Cults were actuallly of a much later date and that these Sun Worship religions were superimposed on a much older Moon Worship religions..why is Easter the first Sunday after the Full Moon after vernal equinox? Sun Worship grafted onto Moon Worship..
The 13 comes from Moon worships as there are 13 sidereal lunations of 28 days giving 364 for a year..and thus the year and a day fairy tales...early christian/church elders needed to get people away from the adoration of the moon and its 13 lunations thus they demonized it with "unlucky 13"..why on earth would lower mammals come into estreus only seasonly where man would sync up with up the new moons...Jesus and his 12 disciples, Arthur and his 12 knights...its all here..
Throw everything you've ever learned about antrhopology, archaelogy and psychology out the window and perhaps start to wonder why this info has been suppressed...the truth starts here...
Research on Our Common Ancestors November 1, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I found this book to be a great read on the lost history of long ago. The author's own research and accumulation of knowledge from other anthropology and achaeology experts is great. It provides an explanation for many legends that we are still familiar with, which some have been around for more than 50,000 years. The book explains why cultures around the world have many similarities and gives the reader an understanding of our common ancestors - in most cases a mix of the the Cro-Magnon and the Neanderthal man.
