⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
This book serves as a robust survey for enthusiasts of alternative archaeology, offering detailed documentation of cairns, perched boulders, and effigies in the Northeast. However, it is not suitable for strict academic historians or skeptics who demand conventional evidentiary standards without esoteric interpretation. The text prioritizes its thesis of global connection over traditional archaeological methodology, which may frustrate readers seeking dry, peer-reviewed analysis. Those looking for light entertainment might find the density of site descriptions heavy. It is best appreciated by open-minded seekers willing to engage with its provocative claims about prehistoric cultures and their sophisticated knowledge of astronomy and acoustics.
