3.0 out of 5 stars Reiteration of the same old stuff, January 20, 2001

This review is from: Not of This World (Hardcover)

Published in 1971 at the peak of the "ancient astronaut" craze. It seems the author did little of his own research-- he just borrowed stuff from many different sources and slapped it all together. Nonetheless, most of it is quite fascinating, if it's true that is. The problem, however, is that there's no index or bibliography, which makes it nearly impossible to check his sources or refer back to anything in his book-- which really bugs me, hence 3 stars. Also, the author could've put less pointless garbage in his book: for example, whenever he begins a chapter he starts off with excerpts from non-related science fiction stories. This book could've been better. As an alternative I recommend Erich von Daniken, at least Mr. Daniken gets to the point.

I happen to own this book and it is a real knockout. Lots of great information about lost civilizations, atlantis, lemuria and so on. Worth getting if you can find it.

Other than the picture of the Inca Wall which is miles long, this book useless. Whoever translated it into English did a poor job. I think the author is Russian or Italian or something... anyway it's bad.
