Wow! This book is only discussing a theory, but man does it make so many things make so much sense. This to me is more believable than the Bible in explaining our origins in my opinion. I now look at the world a little differently, and I can really start to understand my own fears and reactions to certain situations more, as well at other peoples, coming from the angle this book discusses. Well worth the read, and I highly recommend it.
Very interesting book. The NP theory throws a new light on the ancient history.
I was inspired by this book. I learnt a lot, also about our culture and the way of mankind.
I strongly recommend reading this book.

Excellent speculative analysis! This would make a great TV doc.
