High Hopes... Unfulfilled

The title of the book is misleading. No "hidden history" of mankind is given. What the book consists of is a listing of archeological finds that suggest homo sapiens has been on planet earth for upwards of a million years or more. This view may be correct, but what homo sapiens was doing during all this time, how he lived etc, is hardly speculated on.

Conventional historians have drawn a veil over anything dated before 2,500 BCE when they believe the Sumerian culture - apparently - spontaneosuly generated itself. The challenge is to break down this wall of silence. For my part, this book, while an enjoyable an informative read, doesn't provide an effective way to do that.

Thorough, provoking, challenging but needs more proof to be a real contender

The book has a style, which seems to be too academic. In addition, the book presents information that for the academia may seem very uneasy because it shakes the evolution theory but at the same time makes the creationist tremble.

Another aspect, which is quite negative, is the lack of proof or documentation. However, the explanation of every piece of the puzzle that the authors give us is very interesting and very logical.

This book makes the reader ponder whether there is another explanation for our existence. To bring forth objects that an intelligent being 2.8 billion years ago manufactured or another with an estimated manufactured age of 600 million years is enough to make you think who made this objects.

The Laetoli foot prints arguments presented by the writers and the explosive comment made by Leakey about the book are quite impressive and make you think that the establishment is probably hiding something.

The implication of the information that is in this book is enough to reconsider all the available data. However, if the book is right many names and reputations will be trashed, and many religious theories or beliefs will be disproved leaving in the dust many names and many organization. Therefore, I can understand the hatred and the negativity of many professionals towards the book and its authors. That is why the establishments always require credentials. Making us believe that without credentials, no one can come up with an explanation about anything. Credentials, academic positions, and grants are the tight rope that obliges professionals to become prostitutes of the system and be reverent and politically correct toward the establishment.

The information contained in this book is very interesting but be careful with what you believe and to whom you believe. Nothing is sacred except the truth! What is the truth?

eye opening

science today is too hidebound and doesn't listen to anybody that suggests a different model of history with actual artefacts. i wish they would get their heads out of the sand.

" Hidden History is a detective novel as much as a scholarly tour de force. But the murder is not the butler. Neither is the victim a rich old man with many heirs. The victim is man himself, and the role of the assassin is played by numerous scientists." Dr. Michael Rothstein, Politiken Newspaper, Denmark
