5.0 out of 5 stars The Human and Earth history from an extraordinary source, July 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cave of the Ancients (Mass Market Paperback)

This book describes archeological findings in Tibet found in ancient caves. Many objects are said to be found nowhere else. The history of Earth and Humanity is revealed to be very different from what is known. Tibet lovers must read Rampa's books.

This review is from: The Cave of the Ancients (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book to be very insightful although I am not an expert on Tibetan religion or philosophy. It is an enjoyable read and rather thought provoking in areas. What if????? Cave of the Ancients is a story about one man's journey, not a complete guide to the Tibetan way. I recommend reading it and deciding for yourself. Analyzing a book completely destroys the context. A book is to be read, absorbed and then digested. Everyone's interpretation is different.
