Yeah, yeah, stop looking at me like that.

I enjoy reading what the fringies write, and this was no exception to the rule. While a bit out of date, this collection of essays still preached what one would expect: Childress, Schoch, Hancock, et al - while not writing there in force, were still being written about in force. While this book was light on the aliens, it was still very strong when it comes to the Mu civilization and the like.

Lego linguistics, poor understanding of physics, and more were to be found. I give the book credit for speaking out against Yonaguni and the Bimini Road, but take away a lot of that credit for their inability to understand why diamond saws aren't needed. I also take away points for them not understanding how Coral Castle was a man-made creation, nor even referencing it. Coral Castle proved that a single man could build something akin to the pyramids.

I wish that people would approach books like this in good humor, give them a chance, and then take away from them everything with a grain of salt. The articles within the book at times entirely contradicted one another: The Ice Age was a lie, but the Ice Age had to exist for the theory of catastrophism to triumph over uniformatarianism. I don't quite get it.

Well, today I learned that Einstein believed in Atlantis. I'm open to Atlantis having existed in some form or another back in the day, and I appreciate their debunking of Thera. While some of the facts they levied against Thera were inaccurate, it still was a decent effort.

So, yeah, I didn't like it. I had fun reading it all the same.… (más)
