Time to WAKE UP!

Written in 2013 in response to a few news reports about an archaeological discovery near the ancient Sumarian city of Ur, this booklet leads to an unfolding mystery.
The mystery is, why are the world's elite, wealthy families interested in archaeological sites? Why have they been the explorers and discoverers of these sites? Because they have the time and the money--right? Maybe there are more reasons. Consider that the "science" of archaeology maybe be very tightly controlled and has been from the beginning.
Consider that there are secrets that we "average" people are not supposed to discover. Consider that we are living in a slave prison camp and don't know it. Everything is being done to keep us from figuring out who we are, why we live as we do, who we "worship" and who we are working for.
If that is the case, archaeology may hold the information about our creation. It might be that the Sumerian cuneiform tablets hold an important message for us as described by Zechariah Sitchin.
Though Lynn doesn't wholly subscribe to Sitchin's interpretation of human origins, she seems clear on many aspects of our slave species status.
It is telling to me that three years after publishing this booklet, and just one year after publishing The Watchers, her Society for Truth in Archaeological Research (STAR) seems defunct. Look for it on the Internet. Gone.
Is she playing games with us, making it appear as though she has been stopped in her quest to unveil the meaning of these archaeological finds? Or has she really been stopped?
In any case she turns to all of us to keep looking, keep asking the questions and using Sitchin's work as a springboard for further investigation.
Hers is the proverbial clarion call to wake up. Her parting words to us are, "We must embrace our heritage, learn from our differences and stop using pejorative labels such as 'fringe' or 'pseudo' as these are divisive and counterproductive to the true scientific method, let us strive to be non-conformists working in unison for the common good...Just as there are no limits to our universal consciousness, there are no limits at all for a truly free society,"
The price of this booklet is well worth it for the questions and challenges it raises.

A little too short to cover the subject

If you can't keep an open mind, don't buy this book, you won't enjoy it. If you are open to the idea that not only do we not have the answers to all the mysteries in the world, we don't even know what forms all of the mysteries take, you will probably enjoy this book. Dr. Lynn offers a concise introduction to some places in the Middle East that may not have had the full light of modern archeology shown on them. Unfortunately, as they are in a war zone, we may not hear much about them, or worse, they may be destroyed before they can be dug. My only problem with the book was the lack of maps and illustrations. It is well-written, a rarity these days.

Controversy / Report

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

The key is in the title - Controversy and Report. As books go this is fairly short, hence the word Report in the title. The report deals with how the author found out about this new dig near Ur. How the author attempted to obtain information on this new site. And how the author ran into difficulties, was hindered, from obtaining information on this site. There is one page/paragraph about what was found or could have been found at this site. This book as well as others I have read seem to suggest that there are those in our society that would prefer to keep knowledge about our past to themselves. As another reviewer stated, it appears that this report is a lead up to the author's new book soon to be released - "Land of the Watchers." Once this book is available as an ebook I will be interested in reading it.

Awful In Every Way

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2016

The Sumerian Controversy: A Special Report by Dr. Heather Lynn published in 2013 is a complete rip off. This is NOT a report of Sumer or Sumerian history, archeology, or anything of the kind. The “report” can be summed up in one sentence: something going at Tel Khyber in Iraq is unusual and probably tied to big oil and big government conspiracies and cover-ups. What is unusual isn’t definite. Exactly who is involved remains mysterious. Dr. Lynn simply throws out a few conspiratorial particulars and lets implication do the rest.

The “facts” are: An e-mail contact named Abdulsamad disappeared from the internet; she received death threats; archaeologist have not dug enough in Mesopotamia; an unnamed University of Manchester professor did not answer her e-mail query about Tel Khyber; the backers of the dig at Tel Khyber include Gulfsands Petroleum, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the British Foreign Commonwealth Office, and the “founding donor” Baron Lorne von Thyssen. Dr. Lynn never saw or spoke to Abdulsamad and only received one e-mail. Mr. Thyssen is from a wealthy family who might have contacts with the Yale Skull and Bones Society and WWII Nazis in Germany. And that’s all folks. Those are all the “facts”.

Wow. A person with a PhD thinks this is sold evidence for… say… just what was the crime anyway? Oh yes, professor X did not reply to her e-mail and the discoveries at Tel Khyber are being secreted away. Oh, wait. Dr. Lynn never says in blunt terms that the artifacts discovered at Tel Khyber are being stolen or hidden away.

Here is her accusation: “Pottery and artifacts sitting on the surface have been systematically collected, bagged up, and shipped out for further analysis.” (p.34) Pretty awful, right? And I thought that’s what archeologist were supposed to do. She even names several artifacts found at the dig, so those can’t be secret.

This “report” is a sham as it reports nothing. As is often the case, much of the writing concerns the author’s personal history in gathering the “evidence.” Nothing in the way of new information about Sumerian history is presented.

In my own research I went to the author’s website on May 30, 2016 and reviewed her credentials. I could not find where Dr. Lynn obtained her PhD or in what field. She claims she is a historian, but she doesn’t state that her PhD is in history, and she doesn’t mention any undergraduate degrees. Whatever her school, Dr. Lynn doesn’t seem to have learned how to research. Implying guilt by association isn’t research.

This is an awful entry into the field of Samarian… well… anything. It has nothing to do with Sumerian archeology and the reviews praising this report must be jokes.

Temptation of Sumeria

Reviewed in Canada on March 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

A good introduction although does not develop any theory nor a hypothesis adequately. Offers maybe a tempting morsel of a larger topic but certainly not a complete report. Would like to see more from the author but it would have to be a fully developed report or story. There are many other authors who have developed this topic more fully.

Many books have been written about Sumeria and it's mystical legacy. This is a very personal story about an archaeologist who has realised that there is much more to discover than she was taught when she was studying for her PHD. It is a slim volume but the first of many from Dr Lynn, she is currently working on the second book.
