4.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book I could not put down, September 7, 2001

This review is from: The New Order of Man's History (Paperback)

This book blew me away.
It makes a convincing and fascinating argument for the author's startling theory that the world was inhabited by a fairly advanced ocean-going civilization during the last great ice age 10,500 years ago when suddenly an asteroid plunged into the Atlantic Ocean. This created much havoc -- triggering widespread volanic eruptions, rapid melting of the ice resulting in worldwide flooding, erosion of the ozone layer, destruction of much animal life, and perhaps adding a few degrees of tilt to the axis of our planet.
The "First Civilization," as author John Cogan calls it, was decimated but not destroyed when the 6 1/2-mile-wide asteroid rocked Earth. Cogan weaves into his theory plausible answers to several of unsolved mysteries including the legend of Atlantis, the ability of the Egyptians to build the pyramids, and the source of the Mayan calendar, to name a few.
A lawyer living in the Seattle area, Cogan is a self-taught anthropologist who spent thirty years researching for "The New Order of Man's History." It shows. The author had to become conversant in an assortment of scientific disciplines to pull this off.

5.0 out of 5 stars A text for the next millenium, February 24, 2002

By 

Thomas C. Stoll, MD (Rochester, NY, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Order of Man's History (Paperback)

This book should be required reading for every high school student in America if not the world. John Cogan has presented a concise, chronological history of man drawn from conclusions using the facts available today from scientific data collection, not by adhering to standard dogma laiden with baseless assumptions carried down in today's "academia".
This text requires the reader to concentrate and follow the factual trail of the history of the earth and man's population of the world. It gives reasonable, believable accounts to his emergence, civilizations, migrations, decimation, and repopulations.
John Cogan challenges many beliefs we cling to and hold as truth. Through his no nonsense approach to the current factual information regarding our history we can shed these burdens and move forward in our understanding of man's history.
My training has taken me through the quagmire of current main stream paleohistory and archeology. John Cogan has shown me more in less than 200 pages. My hat is off to him and I hope this book opens the eyes and minds of many to follow. The New Order is the Right Order. Thank you John.
