Is this book so ?controversial,? as to be categorized under the speculative history? I found it less speculative then history we learn in school.
Little search on the internet did reveal that the book was pulled off the shelves as soon as it got out (plagiarism ? even though how something can be plagiarism if there is sourcing and referencing going on; and in addition this information is out there available for anyone)! Maybe because the book poses some good questions: is human history and evolution as linear as we have been made to believe in the West? Or we have known more and lost much of our knowledge, and now we are now relearning and rediscovering what our ancestors had known.
Author of the book take us through his process of deduction to lead us to his conclusion as to where the Hall of the Records is. Anyone who loves mysticism, numbers and geometry will like to check this book out (but it is none of those that are central themes, Nigel loves numbers, so he used them extensively ? it is more giving various pieces of the puzzle ? general, but enough to get the picture). I would say that it is written with very rational mind, but following intuitive leads. I personally found lots of interesting information and ideas (as well as references). I read all 390 pages with much interest (I have to admit that I have scanned over some where there were too many numbers).
So there is sacred geometry, Egypt, Sumerian, Greek, King Arthur, Jesus, Mary, Joseph of Armithea, Osiris, Isis, Orion, Sirius, Teotihuac?n, Lay lines, Stonehenge, Templar, Masons and much more... All in one place?
If you know nothing of all of this it could be a good one as a starting point (of course this is not ?Da Vinci Code,? but is not fiction either.
