William Bramley

The Gods of Eden Mass Market Paperback – March 1, 1993

by William Bramley (Author)

679 ratings

They Came To Earth Millions Of Years
Ago To Spread The Poison Of Hatred,
War And Catastrophe...

They Are With Us Still...

Human history is a seemingly endless succession of bloody conflicts and devastating turmoil. Yet, inexplicably, in the light of astonshing intellectual and technological advancement, Man's progress has been halted in one crucial area: he still indulges the primitive beast within and makes war upon his neighbors.

As a result of seven years of intense research, William Bramley has unconvered the sinister thread that links humanity's darkest events -- from the wars of the ancient pharaohs to the assissination of JFK. In this remarkable, shocking and absolutely compelling work, Bramley presents disturbing evidence of an alien presence on Earth -- extraterrestrial visitors who have conspired to dominate Humankind through violence and chaos since the beginning of time...a conspiracy which continues to this very day.

Caution this will blow your mind

Wow! William Bramley wrote a classic here. This book is almost 30 years old, but most people still aren't ready to hear what he tells us. I only heard of this book from an amazon reviewer who while reviewing another book said Bramley's was much better. Thank you amazon reviewers who are sooo helpful!! I am open-minded but when my friend and i discussed this book we both felt the same---You won't be able to put it down, but it makes your entire worldview about our history on earth in question. It feels kind of creepy to think that mankind has been so misdirected, but fascinating. I wouldn't be able to do Mr. Bramley's excellent research and writing justice--I'll just say he goes through humankind's history and reresearches it through fresh eyes. I have seen Mr. Bramley appear briefly on the Ancient Aliens series on the History Channel. Also, I brought my copy of Gods of Eden to a MUFON meeting and the director for the state of Illinois spotted it and said it's a good book.

This tale of fiction only convinced me more of the Truth of the Biblical canon of Scripture.

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

Mr Bramley makes his disdain of God and the Lord Jesus very clear in this fictional tale. His hypothesis is misguided at best. What he doesn't realize is that there is some truth in the beings that had charge over mankind at the beginning, but is was not aliens, but rather (and the Bible supports this) these beings were spiritual rulers of the Divine Council that God Himself gave authority over the physical creation. They fell through pride and brought great deception upon mankind, including the false "doctrine" that Mr. Bramley has bought hook, line and sinker.
There were a few interesting things in this tale, but rather than causing me even an ounce of doubt about what I believe, each chapter only served to convince me further of the absolute Truth of the canon of Scripture.

In-depth history, but a far-fetched premise

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

Bramley is very compelling as a professor of world history. If you are a sci-fi buff looking for bizarre tales of abductions by little green men, you won't find them here. If the birth of communism or the visions of Joseph Smith sound like snoozers, this may not be the book for you. But if history is your interest, especially the psychology of why things happened as they did, you will find The Gods of Eden as fascinating and well-researched as any college textbook. Bramley walks us in painstaking detail through the events of human civilization--the politics, the religions, the wars, the cultural upheavals--beginning circa 5000 bce in Mesopotamia and winding up in late twentieth century America with the assassinations of the sixties and the threats posed by cults and religious extremism today. And his approach is equally thought-provoking, informative, and frequently humorous. The writing is fairly polished, so much so that history and sociology buffs can easily become so caught up in Bramley's take on the events, the newsmakers and the intrigue of the past that we almost find ourselves losing sight of Bramley's central premise, the remarkably subtle thread he weaves through every page of every chapter: that we hapless homo sapiens are being used and always have been -- that each of these seemingly unrelated events and persons were and are, in fact, critical pieces of a master plan orchestrated by aliens. Or 'gods' if you prefer the vernacular of those who worship them. He seems to believe, in a nutshell, that a band of extraterrestrial tyrants whom he calls the Custodials landed here eons ago with self-serving and nefarious intentions in mind. They wasted no time in eliminating the early humanoid primates they didn't need and enslaving the rest of us. And over the ensuing millennia these mysterious other-worldly wizards have methodically and repeatedly pitted humans against humans in bloody wars and painful conflicts in a clever ploy to keep us weak and under their command. That tactic and their rule over us continues today, as profoundly as ever. Indeed, no significant event throughout the course of human experience, Bramley suggests, happens by sheer accident without the Custodials behind the curtain pulling the levers. The book is detailed, so it's not a quick read; but I found it to be a fun read. But do his arguments hold water? I invite you to be the judge. Even as an amateur student of history myself, however, I must say I learned a lot along the way. Not about UFOs but about mankind and the way we think.

An absolutely masterful rendering of history, religion, and the "custodial" race of beings that weaves through it all. Bramley postulates an alien race of beings behind all that mankind does (or more importantly...fails to do). His grasp of history is compelling, his psychology highly believable, and his own unique brand of mysticism is wonderful. I truly wish he had written more on the subject(s).

Be the Maverick!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is great. Through its symbolism it makes man aware that the world does not work as it should, and needs change at the spiritual level, as it says: "A true understanding of ethics, integrity, and justice is a prerequisite to regaining one's spiritual freedom and immortality (pg.48)." Why is this? Because this gives man the proper view of life, and the motive to proper actions. For precisely for lack of these gems there enters into our blue marble strife, violence, and crimes. But this change cannot happen with stagnated (i.e., custodial) ideas, political or religious, but can only come by a Maverick way of thinking, a Maverick way of devotion, and a Maverick way of living. See page 107. This is the only way to spiritual recovery, and the only way to create a New Age for the good of all.

Um, well... what!... Hmmm... Sigh.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2020

William Bramley makes it clear early on that he's about to drive you to places you never thought you'd go, and that's certainly true. The key E T material is marshalled into the first four chapters before he plunges into a search through religious and esoteric history in seeking to support the view that we're the sport of aliens and the 'hot rods of the gods' have been with us all along. There's a great deal to unpack about his assertions, so let me dive in and give a few observations... Chapter 2: 1.There's assumption that our 'goldilocks zone' is prevalent elsewhere - that's yet to be shown in any irrefutable fashion. 2. War is looked upon as something we could avoid, but this avoids asking the question why does it so plague us? 3.The 'spiritual' is defined as something detached from the material - why? Why should we just accept dualism as the 'norm'? Chapter 3: The key UFO material is presented without almost no reference to the work of men like Alan Hyneck, Jacques Vallee, John Mack and the like, because, I suspect, they clearly affirmed a paranormal/extra dimensional character to much of the credible phenomena when not dealing with the 'hard' technology (see W A Harbinson's "Projekt Saucer"). Such an approach would give a far more disturbing and malevolent side to the nature of this intrusive side of the numerous occurrences, and again, point to something beyond the merely material encroaching within the commonplace, breaking any division between the 'other' and our reality. This then omits a proper exchange on the actual material gathered in the modern age. Chapter 4 continues to make the same assumptions, so even more straightforward answers about many events (Andrew Collins' "The Ashes of Angels") cannot be considered. There is also a total omission of vital new data concerning the movement and deeds of various ancient peoples, such as the Hyksos (see Dr David Rohl's "The Lords of Avaris"). And so it goes on, making several assertions concerning what IS about all manner of religious and historical events on the assumption that many common evaluations or definitions are entirely at fault, so you have to leave all of these behind. I suppose what doubled me most about this work was its genuine failure to just take actual human nature seriously. To quote from Stephen King's The Stand, "There’s precious little reform in the human race … Shall I tell you what sociology teaches us about the human race? I’ll give it to you in a nutshell. Show me a man or woman alone and I’ll show you a saint. Give me two and they’ll fall in love. Give me three and they’ll invent the charming thing we call ‘society.’ Give me four and they’ll build a pyramid. Give me five and they’ll make one an outcast. Give me six and they’ll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they’ll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home".

Very interesting book - makes you reconsider everything you thought you knew! My own experiences, as well as millions (at least) of others', recent archaeological evidence and genetic evidence as well as The Mandela Effect and scientific discoveries as to the nature of this reality and consciousness all supports his ideas now.

It's hard to to know what to make of this book. It's central premise is barely touched upon and when is touched upon, I don't feel that a remotely convincing argument is made. This seems somewhat surprising considering the amount of detail that is given with regards to the supposed connected conspiracies. There's a lot of information in here, but I'm not sure if I would reference it in any debate, or use it as a starting point for further investigations. It has the overall feel of a somewhat sophisticated deception.

There is no doubt that a "hidden hand" operates behind politicians as puppet masters etc. This book shines a light on that, and connects dots way back to Sumerian times. In the "Funny Money" chapter, the author explains the monetary system more simply and better than I have ever read. Superb.

This book is a great read. I wish I had read it 20 years ago!

Should be mandatory reading for all. Excellent, erudite, easy to read and, above all, more than likely on the right track as to why the world is at it is.
William Bramley took his very fundamental thoughts and discoveries and put them altogether in this excellent book

For those who do not subscribe to the view that 'an alien enterprise' is in charge of humanity, there is still a wealth of information about secret societies, their growth and influence over eons, the instigation of the rotten banking systems, weapons industries, et al, in existence today.

Buy it, read it! You may find the answers to many seemingly unanswerable conundrums therein!
