5.0 out of 5 stars
rare book,

This review is from: Myths of Babylonia and Assyria (Paperback)
This book contains the history and commentaries necessary to understand the evolution of the Judaic/Christian religion. It also has keys to understanding metaphysics of the ancients that are relative to the modern world. In other words, it contains information that is hard to find - a rare book indeed - and, in general, a great book for historians.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book..could have been written today...,
This review is from: Myths of Babylonia and Assyria (Paperback)
This is a great book published in 1915 and written so well that it could have been written today. Mackenzie does a great job in synthesizing creation stories from some of the most ancient cultures and connects the dots for the reader. As a student of history and anthropology, I find Mackenzie's take on the subject as fundamental to the study of history and religion...On a separate note, it would great if people did not rate the book based on whether it loaded correctly on their electronic devices or whether the seller over charged their credit card. The book is a great book that needs to be rated on content not on how happy or not one is with issues that have nothing to do with the what the author wrote. So please keep your comments relevant to content and not customer service. Thank you.
