This review is from: Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space (Paperback)

When I first bought this book, I thought I was purchasing a sci-fi novel. When I began to read and understand what the author was actually saying, I was gripped to say the least.Everything that Mr.Chatelein states can be verified in alternative texts.(I have checked). Its all about taking a leap of faith and understanding that our past is much more complex and wonderful than we have been tought.The fact that he has a talent for Mathematics goes a long way in both ,rationalizing his book and at the same time making it all the more incredible. This book actually made me question many things. It is not sensationalist or hypothetical such as many books in this genre seem to be. I have neglected actually saying anything about content, as that is a journey that must be made alone.

3.0 out of 5 stars The content is gripping, though falling short of it's name, March 15, 1998

This review is from: Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space (Paperback)

The content of this book is such, that sometimes it is hard to believe that today such facts are dismissed so easily. The existence of Pluto was known with much precision before it's "discovery" and an old spanish copy of a map of antartica long before it's discovery are just the beginning of this books revalations. The reader must have an open mind, but make sure you follow up on some of it so you know for yourself just what you believe so as not to be too niave.
