I really enjoyed this. Matt and Billy Both laid out there theories clearly and expertly. I don't think they are exactly right, but there is a lot in there that is hard to ignore, and clearly there is more to learn. If your interested an ancient civilization and your willing to open your mind a bit, its really worth your time.
The Epic of Humanity is an ambitious and fascinating exploration of ancient civilizations, forgotten histories, and humanity's place in the cosmos. Billy Carson and Matthew LaCroix bring together a vast collection of ancient texts, archaeological discoveries, and alternative historical theories to challenge conventional narratives about our origins.
What makes this book particularly engaging is its ability to connect ancient Sumerian, Egyptian, Akkadian, and other traditions into a broader story that encourages readers to think critically about history. The authors present intriguing ideas about lost civilizations, the Anunnaki, and humanity's potential future, offering perspectives that are both imaginative and thought-provoking.
While some of the claims venture beyond mainstream academic consensus, the book succeeds in sparking curiosity and inspiring further research. Readers who enjoy ancient mysteries, alternative history, archaeology, and questions about human origins will find plenty to explore within its pages.
The writing is accessible, the scope is impressive, and the wealth of material presented makes it a compelling read. Whether you agree with every conclusion or not, The Epic of Humanity encourages open-minded inquiry and a deeper appreciation for the mysteries of our past.
A dive into ancient texts from the past - Sumerian, Tibetan, Egyptian, Indian and the connecting parts of these that point to the great flood, the younger dryas period and the connecting wands of spirituality. It also looks at civilisations prior - Atlantis, Lemuria, and peels back more of the Annunaki and their significance, and what may have happened all this time ago in the birth of humankind. Fascinating stuff! I enjoy both of the authors explorations. My only feedback would be - add referencing (where needed) and also to state the translators of the ancient texts in the references at the back. Well done, and don’t ever stop being curious! Definitely worth a Read!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
It’s a really interesting read, and the hypothesis - while far out- is fun to explore. But there are a lot of typos and it could do with a good edit due to being repetitive and not organized as well as it could be. My biggest gripe is there’s a section with like a 3-page quote of “Tibetan Book of the Dead”, but the quote talks about quantum physics and neuroscience. It’s clearly a quote lifted from an uncited contemporary book. This undermines the rest of the book. Had it been published in the ChatGPT era, I would have thought AI wrote it.
This is a fascinating and eye opening exploration of humanity’s ancient past. The authors boldly challenge conventional history and connect ancient civilizations, myths, and texts into one compelling narrative.
The writing is engaging and thought provoking, making complex ideas accessible and exciting to explore. This book truly inspires curiosity and encourages readers to think beyond traditional timelines.
An insightful and powerful read that I highly recommend.
Billy presents us with some very strong potentials in his works. A fascinating read that will have readers hooked. Those with an open mind may find their new favorite read here.
