The Mummy Returns (not the movie)
I Think the 5,000 year old Mummy is very good discovery. I never knew that there could be a Mummy in the alps or any other extremely cold moutain area. (I was just plain dumb about that). I Think that this book about the Ice Mummy is very good to learn about. (Besides King Tutankahamun). The Mummy, i realized can be almost anywhere, but not the USA. You can learn from this discovery, many of ...

Connection of the Church to Israel shown in Ruth 3,000 Years of Sleeping Prophecy Awakened
This book is a must for Christians seeking understanding about their Jewish roots and wondering why Jewish customs have meaning for Christians today. The 12-part section, "Did You Know?" at the back of the book is invaluable for understanding biblical Judaism and giving Christians appreciation for their Jewish Messiah's culture. The Book of Ruth is presented as historical fact, but its ...

Inspiration for film makers
As has been mentioned, this is a memoir about how Robert Rodriguez made his film "El Mariachi". I just finished it and was thoroughly fascinated by it. This is not a technical manual (although there is plenty of technical knowledge and "pearls of wisdom" to be gleaned from it) so much as it is a motivational book. It is also a book about seeing a project through to its completion, regardless of ...

A creative and challenging exercise for young archeologists
In 1924, two years after the famous discovery of King Tut's tomb with its amazing treasures, Dr. George Reisner, a world-famous Egyptologist, is exploring an archaeological site known as Giza 7000X. Joining the dig is young Will Hunt. The conceit here is that while Will and his family are fictitious, the rest of the information about Giza 7000X is true. Reisner was the director of the Harvard ...
Wine: The 8,000 Year-Old Story of the Wine Trade

Greg's Review
I found the book extremely interesting in so many ways, eg. Geography, History, the evolution of wine storage over the centuries, the comparison of regulations from Nation to Nation. We all should have heard of Babylon (even from Boney M a few years ago) but how many of us would have known that it was roughly where Baghdad stands today. Who would have known that the earliest remnants of wine ...

Great book for learning how to eat healthy without starving yourself
The book is very interesting and shows how to eat healthy without starving yourself. It explains the Chinese culture of achieving balance in everything, including choosing the type of food to eat -- which makes for fewer bloated, upset stomachs after eating. Overall, it is a very insightful book with lots of lessons on how to eat healthy, and be full after a meal, without the bloating or ...

13th C. Geometric Map of Jerusalem preserved in paintings.
I am writing a third favorable review of "The Tomb of God" (others -- 05/24/00 and 09/01/98), because after studying the geometric method used by the authors to solve the puzzle of the parchments and the paintings of the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery, I have applied their "Teniers Method" to the paintings of J. Vermeer (1632-1675), a famous Dutch master painter. The fact that this method uncovered ...

Highly Recommend
I was in college when Otzi was found, and I didn't have time to read up on the excavation, so this book was a welcome surprise for me one day when I was browsing the science section of my local bookstore. Sensitive, yet scholarly, Spindler recounts his experience in fascinating detail while preserving the unfortunate man's dignity. Although translated from the original German, Spindler's ...
