It's a great book but it has two negative sides to it. First of all its unnecessarily redundant. Second it is a chaos, no structure at all. All the volumes of this writer could be perfectly put together into a single book without so many repetitions and far better organized. I understand they will make more money selling the pieces separately, but... people will not get the message with these series as they stand now. An example: Sweeney keeps on stating conclusions before systematically proving what he is saying. At the end you get a sense that all you read was 60% conclusions and 40% evidence. not that he doesn't have good evidence but when he mixes it with so many repetitive conclusions the reader forgets about the evidence. Conclusions should be only a minimal part of the book. As it stands people will read the book and not believe it, this is sad because the idea is good and there is solid proof for it.

I recommend this book highly, but the whole field of which this book is a part can make one's head hurt and Emmet Sweeney is a very perplexing writer. Maybe im blind, but i dont think in this book sweeney ever comes right up front and says something like: " Dont ever hold me to this, but it sure seems like there is a triplication of numbered dynastys here; let me explicate." But maybe it's just this reader's failing. if one has tons of curiosity about this subject and true grit, let me make some suggestions. 1. search engine: type in these 3 names TOGETHER: OSMAN ROHL THEAUX. 2. search engine: type in: HEINSOHN RESTORATION OF ANCIENT HISTORY 3.type in: IMAN WILKENS TROJAN KINGS OF BRITAIN. Recommended reading: WHERE TROY ONCE STOOD -WILKENS; EARTH IN UPHEAVAL-VELIKOVSKY; THE BALTIC ORIGINS OF HOMER'S EPIC TALES-VINCI; PATH OF THE POLE-HAPGOOD; INDIA IN GREECE-POCOCKE; CHRISTIANITY AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN RELIGION- OSMAN; THE HISTORY-HERODOTUS; CATACLYSM!-ALLAN AND DELAIR; CATASTROPHISM AND THE OLD TESTAMENT-PATTEN; ATLANTIS OF THE NORTH-SPANUTH. speculation: herodotus did yeoman's work, but his story must have had its mistiness. could the egyptians, at some small points of time, have been confused with the assyrians? just a thought
