Skywatchers, Shamans & Kings: Astronomy and the Archaeology of Power (Wiley Popular Science,) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was expecting more of a philosophical and historical treatise, building on the idea that shamans (priests, etc. . .) used the sky to enhance their influence on ordinary people. While that idea is stated, it is not really proven. It is, however, supported by amazing anecdotal descriptions of ancient...

Ages in Chaos I: From the Exodus to King Akhnaton Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This was the first published volume of Velikovsky's reconstruction of ancient Egyptian history, and it is thoroughly documented and footnoted, and beautifully written. In fact, considering that English was his fifth language, I believe, he is a beautiful and spell-binding writer. As a writer myself,...

From Every People and Nation: A Biblical Theology of Race (New Studies in Biblical Theology) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I praise God for Hayes' work! As an African American Pastor it is difficult to adequately express how breath taking I found Hayes' book. From Every People and Nation is a work that speaks powerfully and eloquently on what I judge to be the most important ecclesiastical issue of our generation! Is that...

Ancient Israel in Sinai: The Evidence for the Authenticity of the Wilderness Tradition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you're looking for evidence that Israel really did make the wilderness journey described in Exodus, Ancient Israel in Sinai is the best scholarly case to be found anywhere, including the best collection I've seen of Egyptian linguistic evidence found in ancient Israel's cultic apparatus. But if you're...

The Religion of the Yorubas Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This important spiritual awakening is necessity for the souls of blacks, in America. Is has a vast amount of history as to how God's power affects nature, man, and spirituality. It sufficiently explains the relationship between Ancient Egypt and the religion of Southern Nigeria, in addition to providing...

Egypt in the Age of the Pyramids Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is for the person just beginning to read about Ancient Egypt, as well as the more advanced reader. It's scholarly, well-organized, and up-to-date, but this narrative of the Old and Middle Kingdoms, and people who lived in those times, is also vivid and moving. Day-to-day life of those long...

Patterns for Theatrical Costumes: Garments, Trims, and Accessories from Ancient Egypt to 1915 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)At first glance, a costume historian would not be impressed by this book's oversimplified patterns and lack of detail. Its renderings of the human figure are cartoonish, and no instructions for esoteric closures and construction are provided.However, the Holkeboer directed her opus toward the theatrical...

Civilization or Barbarism: An Authentic Anthropology Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Diop demonstrates his multidisciplinary genius in this book. His scientific approach leaves no stone unturned, even when dealing with linguistics. He addresses so many topics, from the origins of civilisation to political and social organisation in ancient states. I especially treasure the chapters on...

Healing Gods of Ancient Civilizations Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I ordered and studied this book because it was listed as a source in books I had learned so much from. The book doesn't read to "dry", and when it doesn't have the info, it says so and why, like in the Celtic section. If you are interested in the Old Ones, buy this book!Click Here to see more reviews...

Hatshepsut, His Majesty, Herself Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Hatshepsut, His Majesty, Herself" is a very good book for children or people who just want a straight forward history of the first succesful female pharoah in ancient Egypt. This was the first book I read of Hatshepsut and I enjoyed it alot. It encouraged me to begin to learn more about her. She was...

The Miracles of Exodus: A Scientist's Discovery of the Extraordinary Natural Causes of the Biblical Stories Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I thought this was a really fascinating book. Some readers may get a bit of a chuckle out of the author's exuberant and earnestly dramatic writing style, but that doesn't really matter much when his arguments are so well-defended. In particular, his discussion of the real Mt. Sinai is alone worth the...

Fighting Pharaohs: Weapons and Warfare (None) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The "Fighting Pharaohs" text is still striving to compile what little information we have in the archaeological record for the military in ancient Egypt and put it into a comprehensive whole. However, I have serious doubts about the aims of this book. It tries to draw conclusions that are simply not...

The New Pyramid Age: Worldwide Discoveries of New Pyramids Challenge Our Thinking Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Coppens is obviously on top of his subject matter and his criticisms of the traditional approach to pyramids are well founded. His argument for a `New Pyramid Age' is sound. From what I have read in Coppens' book, and others, we need to revisit, and rethink, pyramids. Coppens is no doubt correct in his...
