3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointed, 13 Mar 2003
I have read a couple of Baigents books - "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and "The Messianic Legacy", and it is clear that he is more knowledgeable on these matters than on ancient mysteries and early history.

The book is not terribly well written, and his treatment of the matters at hand is superficial and based on just a few sources, all of which supports his views. Most of the supposed mysteries in the book are much better dealt with by authors such as Robert Bauval and especially Graham Hancock, both of whom are also cited in "Ancient Traces".

This book is only recommendable to those who has never read any other books about Atlantean theories, the age of the pyramids, erosion of the Sphinx, and so on. Whereas it is not very interesting to the "experienced" mystery-"lover", it does after all introduce the reader to a host of mysteries, and may spark an interest in the subjects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking, 15 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I enjoyed this book very much. Similar lines to Forbidden Archaeology but much much easier to read. One added bonus, it also talks about alchemy and reincarnation.

I found it to be one of the most enjoyable books I've read being both interested in archaeology, prehistory and spiratuality. One thing for certain; while it critises archaeological and anthropologist institutes for dismissing evidence of ancient sites and artefacts which suggest that man is much older than conventional view allows, it does not dismiss any evidence excavated from sites accepted by 'conventional' experts either which some books of this type unfortunately does. In other words, it is not too one sided but I am rather skeptic over the 'evidence' that humans may have lived at the time of the dinosaurs. Perhaps those footprints were exterrestrial?!! It certainly wouldn't be an easy life to co-exist with the likes of T-Rex and raptors for any of those who saw the film Jurassic Park.

I would recommend it but only to broad and open minded people.

5.0 out of 5 stars BOOKSHELF ESSENTIAL, 7 Mar 2008
This book brings several disciplines together - gathered around the idea of hidden history and philosophies. It has a good index and most things are referenced. Mr. Baigent pulls his punches a good deal but has created a jumping off point to explore further. His sense of the english language is a delight. I think it is a must for that quick reference and also when you want to share a thought with a sympathetic fellow traveller.
