Immodestly described by the author as an "adventure unlike anything you’ve ever experienced" and "a unique perspective on world history that you will not find elsewhere." It's actually a brief ebook with some basic world history augmented with myths and legends.

This book provides a unique perspective on world history that you will not find elsewhere. Some of what is written here fly in the face of convention. The reason is quite simple: We don’t know everything there is to know about our past. Some of the evidence may remain missing forever. It may have been destroyed long ago. All too often the conquering society rewrote the history concerning those they conquered. New regimes erased the records of earlier rulers of whom they disapproved.
As to some of the critiques; no matter how much anyone knows, some only 'know' as in believe, even if or in spite of proof {otherwise}. There is always a difference between an opinion that something is not possible, versus actual backed up proof that it did not happen, could not have happened, etcetera. As someone who has studied many areas, and possible inconsistency, what may appear to be one is quite often found to be a translation error or some such thing {as this writer gives example} or even deleted/omitted parts {from version to version, most noted in King James and how that came about}. It has already been proven, for example, that the continents separated, and that in all probability the Noah flood was actually limited to not the whole 'earth' but the whole earth as that area knew it {so the delta area in Egypt}. It has also been proven that the Sahara Desert has stages where it goes from arid back to lush {although we are talking about thousands and more years of a cycle}. There are some areas of the book not sure whether agree with or not, because even as an accountant at one time, the different countries' GDP was something that would not stick in my head because wouldn't need it on even semi-routine basis. The part about the government and who controls it, and/or the money of it, is more or less true, though it would need a whole book to itself to adequately convey the different aspects. As for 911, time has told some more of the story and will most likely tell more in the future. The information and opinions on 'climate change' won't go in to, because it seems rather incomplete overall and specifically in some areas, so much so I just have to assume that the writer does not overall believe in climate change/the human reasons for it and/or that it has increased dangerously; did not see anything else in the book about it really, to be able to tell.
{Please note that the numbering is different in the single books, Norse is 1, Egyptian is 2, Greek is 3} -- noticed a review that said too simplistic, but thought to myself, just how detailed should books such as this be, since I don't want to have needed a Doctorate or some sort of higher degree to read these, so some things do need to be 'simpler' so a layman can actually understand them.

I can't get enough of this author. The presentation is reader friendly. The information is oftentimes the info that was glossed over in school. I love learning new things.

Interesting
Touches on various myths and characters that were important to early people’s. Reminds me of high school reading I did about these subjects.
