5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, eye-opening stuff, June 29, 1999

By A Customer

Rux has gathered some of the best evidence for the existence of UFOs and the related government cover-ups in this volume. In addition, he's managed to bring in ancient astronaut theory, which may sound outlandish to some but is in reality a theoretically rigorous body of work when in the hands of researchers like Zecharia Sitchin, whose work is given extensive treatment by Rux. The narrative flows well and Rux's command of the language is superb - he presents facts objectively with little emotional bias but somehow manages to cleverly lead the reader to the same conclusions as his. Enjoyable stuff, especially if you believe that there's a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to conventional wisdom surrounding the pyramids, sphinx, Martian anomalies and UFOs. If you're looking for a one-stop treatment of ancient and modern puzzles, look no further - this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent summary of a very important subject, August 25, 2005

By	A Reader - See all my reviews

This book is excellent, and truly represents the summation of my 25 year inquiry into Ancient Astronauts, UFOs and Paleo-civilisations which began at age 12 in 1980 when I turned away from the vicious narrowmindedness of my late father's religion, Islam, and was desparately searching for a revolutionary, yet "down to earth", i.e logical and explainable outlook on the murky and disputed subject of man's history.
With an all-encompassing conciseness I have yet to see elsewhere on this newly emerged subject of "alternate history", Rux presents the conclusion that we, mankind, are in fact the aliens here on Earth - the ones we have been eagerly searching for in other places without actually looking at ourselves to see what we really are. It was our forebears, who in previous advanced epochs now remembered only in myth, left their mark elsewhere in this solar system besides earth. Goodness knows whence we originally came; but the all-pervasive hold on human mass-emotion and behaviour by supposedly "primitive" and "irrational" mythology, sacred scriptures and "illogical" traditions shows something deeper and hidden - that collective legacy of ours. He distills the diverse and complex strands of UFO lore, conspiracy theories, Freemasonry, Atlantis/ancient civilisations, ancient astronauts, fairies and superbeings, angels and devils, the Old Testament, and New World as well as Oriental and European folklores into one clear and very logical essence. or so I see. I recommend that his book be read first, in this field which is already populated by hundreds of startling yet generally confusing books - as far as the big picture is concerned.
