Kurzbeschreibung
Radical new theory on who our ancestors may have been. The author's previous book, }Giza, The Truth{ has sold in excess of 20,000 copies.
Synopsis
Brief Old Testament references to a former civilisation that was destroyed by the Flood have fascinated scholars for centuries, giving rise to exotic speculations ranging from the advanced technology of Atlantis through to extraterrestrial visitors. But it is only now that one British researcher's ten-year quest has brought together the entire body of accounts of an antediluvian race from across the globe - from the ancient texts of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece and Scandinavia, to the sacred traditions of indigenous peoples from the Americas, Africa, Indonesia and Australasia. This is the result of that painstaking quest, and its conclusions are unlike anything you have read before. Like other notable revisionist historians, Ian Lawton argues that our forebears were far more culturally advanced than has been previously believed - to the extent that they built sizeable settlements and navigated the oceans to trade. He backs up this belief with tantalising evidence from archaeology.Yet the most significant common theme uniting the ancient traditions is that our 'forgotten race' was originally highly spiritual but became increasingly obsessed with the material world before it perished in a global catastrophe - which geological and other evidence suggests occurred around 11,500 years ago.

Do you believe in reincarnation?
4. Januar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Do you believe in reincarnation? Are you open to the idea? In the Western world this concept is generally ignored as anything more than a fanciful notion. However, to over two billion people on the planet they believe it is not only 'real' but extremely relevant to how they plan and conduct their lives.
"Gensis Unveiled" takes a fairly orthodox view on the development of human civilization. Evolution? Check. Dating of existing archeological sites? Check. Aliens in Spaceships poppycock? Check.
The only thing that Ian Walton does is recast human mythology into the spirtual model of reincarnation. If that isn't your cup of tea, then I cannot recommend this book to you. However, if you do believe in reincarnation, or are at least open to the possibility, then this book makes for fascinating reading.
Is it 'fact'? Of course not. Any attempt at making sense out of ancient writings from a culture as old as the Sumerians is tantamount to pure speculation. For my own sake, I found it much more entertaining than a dozen books that suggest human civilization was a gift from 'aliens from outer space.' Ian Walton merely conjectures that they weren't 'aliens' but rather more advanced spiritually than your average human today.
It certainly seems no more wacky an idea to me.

Excellent stuff
1. März 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Having read the rude and unfounded reviews of this book i feel compelled to respond to the ingrates below. (Not you nice man!)
Lies? What lies? Do you know your stuff at all? This is astounding research of source material by a thorough and scholarly writer!
And as for you mister 'i wasted my money', yes you did. I think copies of 'politeness for beginners' are available for $1.
Perhaps you all were reading a completely different book? Yes, it is apparent that the author believes in reincarnation, but given all the evidence, so did our ancestors? He's just asking why. It's not one-sided, it's not preachy, it's just good.
Maybe it struck a cord and you don't like that. Maybe it challenged you to think about important issues. Maybe you're too focused on believing the trite nonsense in most other books of this ilk (see oxford dictionary). Not enough aliens? Still realing from a probing that you need accounting for?
I'm sorry to be so harsh, but really, this book is obviously ground breaking and well-researched. So regardless of your personal thoughts on it's content, give it credit for the thoroughness of the evaluation.

Poorly Written
8. Januar 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Having stumbled on a newspaper review of Genesis Unveiled I had very much looked forward to getting stuck into it, but the author's repetitive use of 'moreover', 'prosaic' and 'in my view' made for a difficult read.
When I say 'moreover' is used repetitively, I do mean repetitively - it is used on no less than 6 occasions on one pair of pages alone ( 179 & 180 if I recall correctly ) and there are multiple instances of multiple, consecutive use. In fact, there is hardly a page without it. As for 'in my view', well, the author is the author so we know that. An editor is credited by the author but a thesaurus would have been a much better bet. Basic errors such as these should have been trapped prior to publication.
The work itself contains a tremendous of amount of detailed, well researched information and proverbial 'nuggets' are plenty, so there can be no criticism of the contents but what should have been a good read wasn't.
Barely six months after first publication and a revised edition is already required, along with a change of editor. Please revisit this work, Mr Lawton - so much good, nay, excellent content does not deserve to be spoiled by poor presentation. And it is.
What a shame.
