(More customer reviews)Considering Waddell's use by the Christian Identity crowd and the neo-nazies in general, his theory that the first dynastic Pharaoh of Egypt, Menes, was identical to the son of Sargon the Great of Sumeria is surprisingly well thought out and supported by an amazing detail of argument. Perhaps the aforementioned loonies have not actually read him and base their support on his sometimes more than required use of the word "Aryan," which he equates with certain Mediterranean groups and only marginally the Nordic peoples of Northern Europe.
Waddell's main thesis is that a great empire extended from India in the east to Britain in the west and that it was ruled over by Sargon I and later by his son Manis Tusu, whom he equates with the Menes of the Egyptian king lists. The alignment of Egyptian, Sumerian, and Indian king lists is worth the price of admission by itself. If there is a fault with Waddell's writings, it is a consistent repeating of his statements in varying forms, as if the reader may have forgoten what he just said, but there does seem to be enough of a forward progression to keep one reading.
Anyone who feels threatened by the idea of ancient civilizations that were much more widespread and powerful than admitted by modern historians and anthropologists should avoid this work, but if you are curious about the interrelationships among the various dynastic kingdoms of the Old World, this is quite a good place to start. It is certainly readable and provides a fair amount of information you won't find anywhere else. You may just want to hold your nose when he starts theorizing on the origins of "Aryan" civilization, but that's a small price to pay for the enlightenment contained in his works.
