5.0 out of 5 stars Her critics have never answered her rationally, 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer
The evidence laid out in this series of works is very compelling. The critics of these ideas seem only able to express themselves with "Preposterous!" or "Idiotic" but never with a calm rational comparison of data and artifacts.

One reviewer says it is idiotic to assume that the bull could have been a female symbol, that this is Gimbutas' imagination. But then there is artwork remaining from this era with clear pictures of bull skulls with horns drawn over the pelvic areas of women, with the horns positioned where the fallopian tubes would be.

The critics of Gimbutas either don't read her work or address people who have never read her work themselves.

Seeing the anger and spite towards this body of scholarly work leaves me wondering why is there so much hatred and antagonism towards the work of Gimbutas? Why are there so many irrational and inaccurate criticisms of her body of work?

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating book, like a trip back in time--an inspiraton., 12 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Reading this book was like traveling halfway across the planet and entering a time when women's energy ruled. Dr. Biaggi makes a fascinating case for a time when a woman (The Goddess) was the first diety. This is a scholarly, ste-by-step exploration, but it is also lyrical and playful. One shares Dr. Biaggi's growing sense of wonder as she finds, examines and beautifully describes the mounting body of evidence of the Goddess culture, from cave drawings to artifacts to more Temples. The illustrations are wonderful. I highly recommend this book as a must read for every woman.

By A Customer
This book is entirely ridiculous and a waste of your money! How this person thinks she can get rich writing these stupidities I do not know.
