It may have helped to read this book before the year 2000 because so much of the hype was about the anticipated events of that so momentous occasion. Remember the crazed foreboding surrounding the impending Y2K and all the rest?
I've read many of the other works referenced here and critiqued by these authors. I often felt these authors are just making too much out of very little. And this is something many of the other books also do. The failings of these contemporary authors is not necessarily...more

While the authors attempt to take a sober and objective look at the controversy surrounding ancient Egyptian artifacts, and manage to debunk a great deal of myth, they also hew too closely to many things that are patently false (they speak lovingly of the non-existent 'feminist principle' while also acknowledging that there are no noble savages, which seems to me a huge contradiction and more myth-making). They give far too much credence to shamanistic experience and sincerely believe aliens exi...more
I remember buying this book years ago when looking for something outlandish to read, but when I finally got around to reading it, I realised that I'd misjudged it - well, partly. The authors don't hide the fact that they are open to many of the subjects discussed - alien contact, the pyramids of Mars, Atlantis - but most of the book adopts quite an agnostic approach to these central questions. But it's most interesting aspect is that it provides a fascinating account of how various intelligence...more
This book is a very interesting take on the whole Graham Hancock/Robert Hauval scene for those of you who follow that. The Stargate Conspiracy was written in 99 and updated in 2001. It doesnt just go into hancock bauval but into the whole subject which is still relevant today with the shows on History Channel such as Ancient Aliens etc. and how their research indicates the CIA and other groups may be interested in sort of guiding the publics thinking in a certain direction for whatever reason. T...more
Excellent and provocative book. It's about a lot of things - primarily about being human, and learning to stand on your own two feet, about not taking any shit from intelligence operatives, propagandists, miracle-workers, archaeologists (hide-bound or New Age), creators of the spectacular, space aliens, The Nine, whoever ... We're really worth so much more.
A genuinely inspiring book, with a warm, warm heart.

I read this and couldn't decide between laughing or rolling my eyes most of the times. My friends would know why I picked this up, but I'm really not into the whole conspiracy thing, and this was just laughable. The writing was all over the place, also. Good for a laugh, but not much else.
I have had this book for 10 years, tried to read it several times but as I am no expert in this area, I found the references difficult to follow. Really suited for scholars.
Conspiracy theorists who have watched to many episodes of Stargate SG-1 and read to many conspiracy theories. If u want to prove intelligent life exists, this will disprove it
found this fascinating. a lot of interesting information and really mind go wild, a little hard to grasp in some theories but definatley gets the imaginatiin going
A good assessment of the topic.
I wish I could give this a lower rating. The book is written so poorly, it changes topics faster than Dennis Miller doing a Monday Night Football game and it seems that half the book is devoted to "talking smack" about other authors.
Good book, it's interesting to find out what the government would spend money on in the late '60s and '70s.
last chapter was cool
A little out there on some subjects.
