Review: Previously having read « Wars of Gods and Men », which struck a chord with me, and « The End of Days », I decided to read the series. It has kept me busy for six months. While these books offer an alternative view of history, it is an Interesting one, and answers a lot of questions, if accurate. While only covering the last book, I think that my previous review explains my take perfectly:- « The End of Days..Book 7. » I liked this book as it made me think. Whether his interpretations are accurate of not doesn't matter so much to me, as I enjoyed the perspective. On the downside it seemed to lack something compared to "Wars of Gods and Men" his only other title that I have fully read. I would have liked more information on the leading nations knowledge of such things as mentioned near the end of the book, and answers as to why leading nations. After all aliens may decide from their persective that the leading nations are mere warmongers and may choose to develop relationships with small neutral or less well known countries. Who knows? I liked the book enough to read it fully and then re read parts of it. It is also possible to see the Enki and Enlil traits at work in our corporate and political and even I guess military world today, so he may have a point. If he is correct then I wonder whether the present day descendants are looking forward to, or scared sensless off, their fathers return, after all he may not be too pleased with how they have managed this planet. As a philisophical exerices I think this book is great. Now rowing back to the six prior books. As previous reviewers have noted the first book is the overview, with the subsequent books expansions of specific areas. If you have any interest in Ancient Egypt, Babylon, Sumer, Assyria, Central and South America, these books will offer an interesting perspective that links events together. From pyramids to the Nazca lines, from Jerusalem to Lebanon. In essence our Gods are aliens who periodically visit and generally give us a technological leap forwards, though on one occasion the Deluge happened due to orbits. Gods made us in their image to mine gold. Genetic engineering millennia ago. All tied into the Biblical narrative. Like any big family there were squabbles, fights and Political intrigue. You might disagree with the authors analysis or judgements but it remains a fascinating read, supported by the authors interpretation of ancient and biblical texts. If you are awaiting the Second Coming then again these books explains why the millennium and 2012 were damp squibs, and suggests when is most likely. Hopefully without the nuclear war of the Gods in prior millennia (with Sinai, Dead Sea, etc data). Are these books accurate? Who knows, but they are a fascinating read.

Review: Well worth the money - great research! Warning though - I have just got to book five of the set When Time Began - pages 195 to 210 are missing and replaced with a repeat of pages 8 to 18. Although I brought the books when they came out in September 2014 I hope Amazon will replace the book with nearly a whole chapter missing from my one. Printed in India by theThe Complete Earth Chronicles (The Earth Chronicles) way.
