Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Over the last few years there has been an explosion of books rewriting archaeology, history and religion. Some focus on new interpretations of the life and teachings of Jesus, others on the Templars and Freemasons, and yet others on ancient monuments such as the pyramids of Egypt. In most cases some secret doctrine is unveiled: esoteric teachings going back to the dawn of time, preserved in "impossible-to-build" buildings, mythology or ritual, and now revealed by the intrepid researchers.

Picknett and Prince, who have written their own share of such books (In His Own Image: The Story of the Turin Shroud and The Templar Revelation: Secret Guardians of the True Identity of Christ) now take their turn at debunking books on the pyramids, early extraterrestrial contact with mankind, the "Face" and "pyramids" on Mars, and the claimed significance of the year 10,500 BC. Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval and Robert Temple come in for particular criticism, with Picknett and Prince pointing out some of their factual errors as well as examples of sloppy logical progression in their arguments.

But this is only the beginning of their book. The authors summon large amounts of evidence to argue that behind such modern authors on the pyramids and Mars there might lie a hidden agenda, involving channelled messages from the Ennead, the nine major gods of Egypt; a wide range of parapsychologists and scientists, including some from NASA; the defence and intelligence communities; and even some politicians. The nine gods may or may not be real, they say, and channelling might simply come from the subconscious, though they accept phenomena such as Remote Viewing as entirely real.

Whether their worrying conclusions are valid or whether they have simply come up with another conspiracy theory, Picknett and Prince's book is not only controversial but thought-provoking too. --David V Barrett --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

'Picknett and Prince are first-class storytellers and their magical mystery tour is totally enthralling' DAILY MAIL 'Over the last few years there has been an explosion of books rewriting archaeology, history and religion.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Agony of Choice...., 14 Jul 2006
By Philip Unsworth (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Your reaction to this book will depend largely, I believe, on your pre-conceived attitudes regarding matters ethereal and the level of paranoia to which you are prepared to admit.

The book has obviously been extensively researched - whether or not you believe it to have been well researched is purely subjective but there is no denying that a lot of work went into gleaning the information.

The authors lay out the various elements of this 'conspiracy' - previous works by Bauval, Hancock, Temple et al relating to Egypt, ancient and modern; supposedly channelled revelations on behalf of nine alleged extra-terrestrials purporting to be no less than the original Egyptian pantheon; suspect interpretations of the 'Cydonia' region of Mars etc. They then tie-in the various elements of all of these subjects into some sort of coherent whole, citing connections - some tenuous, some not - as justification for their conspiracy theory.

Along the way, they quite rightly highlight numerous factual errors and misrepresentations made by the various players in this conspiracy that allow some of the more outlandish claims to appear to be, if not true, at least possible. Simple errors made by 'The Nine' in their various communiques, for example, that hyper-intelligent beings or gods just should not be expected to make. Also, contradictory positions taken by messrs Bauval and Hancock in their books at different times, depending upon which standpoint they were taking and what point they were trying to get across. I see nothing wrong with bringing these errors to the attention of the reader, as some reviewers seem to be suggesting, as it clearly indicates that expediency and personal agenda play a significant part in the way information is presented to us. Whether or not this constitutes a conspiracy is ultimately for the reader to decide.

If you are a devotee of Bauval, Hancock et al then this book will challenge your acceptance of what they have to say and why they have said it. I have read their books and must admit that I blithely accepted some of their 'factual data' regarding Egypt without verifying its authenticity - data that turned out to be, at best wrong and at worst, cynically misrepresented to corroborate their theories (your view of which one it is will depend upon your predisposition towards acceptance of their ideas).

Having some experience in the field, I have no doubt that various Intelligence agencies and other interested parties would be capable of hijacking populist beliefs for their own ends as stated in the book - there are any number of historical precedents to bear this out. The question is, do you accept the authors' interpretation of what those ends might be?

Throw in a Masonic connection, remote viewing, a spoon-bender and a few occultists and the stage is set for a, sometimes convoluted, journey into what is theoretically possible when unseen hands take the helm.

All in all, a thought provoking work, the central theme of which may or may not have any basis in objective reality. Perhaps time will tell. It is very easy to dismiss such grand conspiracies as unbelievable but then, people used to think the Earth was flat...

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading, 28 Oct 2003
By A Customer
The authors of this book have done a superb job in uncovering some compelling evidence of a major conspiricy which, if true, should deeply concern us all. The book is written in a very honest and non-biased way and uncovers the secrets of some very high-profile names in egyptology. Well worth reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars A direct line of reasoning backed up by simple facts, 3 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This book was a very interesting read, and a refreshing open-minded look at certain facts that most new age Mars/Giza/remote-viewing fanatics fail to take note of. I've been personally impressed with the authors' suggestion that there are true mysteries surrounding these subjects, yet there are facts which point to the possibility that much of the New Egyptology and intelligent life on Mars theories spring up from very few central characters who were involved with channelings by 'the Nine Principals' in the fifties and seventies. As someone who takes a lot of interest in Mars/Egypt connections, as well as other paranormal phenomenon, I find it refreshing to hear an open-minded yet discernably different opinion on the subject from what you hear all over the American west coast and beyond. If you're interested in these subjects but you feel that the modern theories are seemingly stretching too far to make a point, read this book and find out who have been major players, and how and why they may have been driving this information into human consciousness for some purpose. Even the authors agree that the true nature of intelligence and politics is too complex in actuality to know exactly what is truly going on behind the scenes, but its nice to hear some information that will help to balance out the largely un-checked New Age perspective.
