This book brings forth notions that suggest that Sumer and Egypt were NOT unique in their bringing forth of cultural elements that represent civilization, but that Europe had more going on that we typically think.

There is no structure or plan to the book, it randomly lists events, ideas, history, beliefs and any trivia related to paganism. It mentions Viking dildos, Hitler's secret Antarctic base where he escaped after WW2 and many crazier things that I have already forgotten. Technically the book never claims anything it describes to be true, everything is couched in ambiguous unsourced claims. In which case why bother writing about any of it if it's all bollocks?

The book mentions Carl Jung more times than I can count. If you're interested you can cut out the middleman and just read Carl Jung's "Essay on Wotan" which is widely available online.… (altro)

I can't decide if I like this book or not, but in any event, it is stuffed full of interesting information and some "funny stuff".

Vast quantities of information about prehistoric life and artifacts. Not overly technical, but not so simplified that it is useless.
