This review is from: The Greatest Story Never Told: A Scientific Inquiry into the Evidence of the Fall of Man from a Higher Civilization in Antiquity (Hardcover)

This is a voluminous book, one which displays the author's impressive knowledge and research efforts. She has used her unique skills in holistic medicine, biology, and physiology to assist in her forensic analysis of ancient civilizations, their possible origins, and the reason for the collapse of advanced civilizations in ages past. This book was a landmark effort at the time of its original publication. While some of the author's conclusions seem inadequate, there are also many excellent insights and revelations about the civilizations of antiquity and earlier, as well as the nature of the "gods" of ancient cultures, who were very much humanoid in nature and prone to engage in competitive and conflictual behaviors, as well as efforts to gain loyalty and subservience from Earth's residents.
This work could benefit from some revision and proofreading, while it stands out as a very passionate dissertation and source of progressive research and ideas about ancient history and anthropology.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Story Never Told - Dr. Lana Cantrell, February 11, 2008

This review is from: The Greatest Story Never Told: A Scientific Inquiry into the Evidence of the Fall of Man from a Higher Civilization in Antiquity (Hardcover)

I had been searching for this book for over a decade. I read in the newspaper Contact: The Phoenix Project that this book must be found and studied. Well, I wrote and called and never got a physical response from Dr. Cantrell. I like to think that she decided to re-publish the book because of my one or two letters. (I know better).

If you're not highly motivated don't bother. If you're not truly searching with an open mind don't bother. This book is most assuredly not for the "average" so-called reader. The sad thing is that it hurts me to type this because the information is stunning. I didn't know what to expect with the book outside of the covering ancient civilizations and cultures of the Vedas (and, boy, does she!). The portions on diet and health truly grabbed me - partially because I wasn't expecting it and the truth of what she had documented (yes, I painstakingly researched much of her claims & implemented them as well; they work). The chapter on Sitology (Chapter 21, I believe) makes this astounding book worth it's weight in gold (even at current prices).

I could wax eloquently to the point of quoting her which would waste your time as you could simply purchase the book. I think I've got three (3) copies of the book; two of which are unopened in my safe alongside other monumental works such as Godfrey Higgins' hardcover Anacalypsis and Celtic Druids, Dr. Russell's The Universal One, and Secret of Light.

You truly CANNOT go wrong with this work and if you're truly interested in Man's past, diet, health and a angelic being (the author, that is) pick up a few copies. I think the book is 1015 pages, small font and has a very high quality binding. It easily could have been sold for $85 - and I still would have bought three for myself.

In fact, this book brings up more questions than the astounding amount of answers. I'd like to sit and talk with Dr. Cantrell about her phenomenal work. Doctoral thesis? Wow!! I'd have love to have been there when you presented and defended this!

Thank you so very much, Lana!!

P.S.

Those who either have purchased it or will purchase it and don't want it I'll gladly purchase it from you - at cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comment from the Author, December 22, 2003

This review is from: The Greatest Story Never Told: A Scientific Inquiry into the Evidence of the Fall of Man from a Higher Civilization in Antiquity (Hardcover)

From the Author--just to answer a few people's problems with the punctuation, spelling etc., as from such 'reviews' as Shirley Gallup--the book was originally written in German--at the time of the computor typing and translation, it did not translate well, as computors still do today, to English. I have had much criticism due to technical error. To correct such a huge writing would take thousands of dollars and people like Shirley would be complaining about the price(!) I have also found that people like Shirley, jump here and there in the book and don't read the complete explanation and take things out of context. It is not a book to hurry through; it has to be STUDIED.
