Very worthwhile read
Very thought provoking. Don’t pick up this book if you do not intend to approach it with an objective open mindset.

I was a much younger fellah when I was at several of the sites Mr. LaCroix decodes and ties in to similar megalithic and pyramidal structures around the globe. I was deep in base consciousness every time throughout my travels, even while volunteering at an orphanage every weekend for years in Mexico. Despite my complete ignorance of all things esoteric and mystical at the time, I was overwhelmed with the feeling of extra terrestrials while at these sites. I had no idea, belief or understanding at the time that Annunaki were involved in providing Cosmic Masons assistance with building structures that 5-150,000 years later are off level by only a half an inch. We cannot build a structure that can last 100 years and stay within a half an inch of level. Now after years of studying Lloyd Pye, Manly Palmer Hall, Mark Passio, Zecharia Sitchin, David Icke, Michael Tsarion, and LaCroix et al, I too believe there has been “Cosmic Interference” if I may use the euphemism. My belief is that factions or cabals of remnants of the dark side are still in charge of the dark lodges that have most definitely taken control of this planet. We live a deeply selfish, satanic life because these guys and gals very effectively keep us in base consciousness, amused to death with the GMO bread and NFL circuses. We spend our entire lives worshiping the false god, money. We stare into hypnotic phones as if the zombie apocalypse has already begun. We only help someone if we can brag about our altruism in an AA meeting, church or broadcast it on Facebook to see if we can set a new Personal Best for blue thumbs. Every four years our ignorance of the Law of Polarity allows us to believe the controlled opposition in the WWE elections. It’s interesting the only change Barrack Hussein brought was to double down on every single tyrannical George W. policy. We allow our ignorance of the Law of Causality to keep us in everlasting ill health and base consciousness using entheogens recreationally in lieu of sacrament. We were still allowed to walk up the pyramid sideways when I was in De Efe y Chichen-Itza. I was even caught by the Federales smoking blonde hash on a side of the pyramid we were not allowed. I was never one to play by the rules. As soon as I can leave the country again I would like to go back a more enlightened initiate. It seems I got in a little trouble with the local Federales when I was celebrating a divorce at a Phish concert a few years ago. To be fair it was the first time I was ever caught and I was holding a lot of just about everything, so I am stuck in America studying for a spell. Needless to say my Path of the Fool started out in a more daemonic form, but it’s gotten better every since. I had to retire from Social Work with a record and damn near every other job (besides construction) you could think of. Could not leave the state and sans money ended up living in the forest for six months. A daemonic trip through the underworld as it were. Came out with many gifts though. The intangible gift was discovering occulted, or hidden knowledge. Thanks to folks like Matthew I am coming to understand why the inverters in charge so desperately need to keep ancient history, natural law and the truth so occulted. They are terrified of 8 billion people becoming the heroes, Jedi, Fools and Wizards we all really are.

This is a good overview of what ancient texts reveal as the truth about humanity's origin and role. I first heard of the Adam and Eve story through the lens of ancient Sumerian texts from the book DNA of the Gods. I like this book because the author explains everything and we get a good idea on timelines.

Fascinating and a little overwhelming a read, but I loved it. Sure makes one think about so many things in this historical account of this world; and with a ring of truth all through the book. I recommend it to "thinking" readers for sure.

Written well and very informative.

The Stage of Time is the author’s second book, the first of which is titled; The Illusion of Us: The Suppression and Evolution of Human Consciousness. Both of these books like the author who wrote them are in a league of their own. This book like his first is an easy 5 star rating. Like his first, The Stage of Time covers a wide variety of topics where the author unifies the story of the human condition since the rise of Babylon and its hostile dark Gods who are still running earth to this day, these dark Gods represent the Eagle: America, Nazi Germany, The Spanish Empire, and the Roman Empire are a few of the many nations that represent the Eagle. The Eagle and its dark Gods use fear, control, war, domination, enslavement, and resource/wealth accumulation as a means of selfishly ruling. The Serpent on the other hand represents knowledge, Consciousness evolution/awakening, peace, light, and freedom. One side is trying to enslave humanity and the other has throughout history assisted humanity in their Consciousness Awakening.
The book covers: details about the ancient civilizations that once existed around the world and the events which led to their disappearance, translations from ancient texts that include: The Atrahasis, Enuma Elish, Sumerian King List, Nag Hammadi Scriptures, and the Emerald Tablets to the name a few, The struggle of the eagle and serpent and who the Anunnaki are, the true God (universal creator which is different than the Biblical God or should I say Biblical Fraud), spirituality, consciousness, and the role we each play, and in depth analysis of the global central banking system and Nephilim bloodline families who created it.
I highly recommend this book along with his first both of which show the hidden history of humanity that has been suppressed by these bloodline families.
Excellent book(s) Mr. LaCroix!
“The most critical concept that is echoed across nearly every ancient culture of the past explains that as a human, you have the potential within yourself to fundamentally alter all of reality, becoming spiritually and consciously aware of your higher purpose in the universe. This is the overall reason why we’ve seen so much war, persecution, and division throughout history since some feel threatened of what the human race could collectively become in the future” – Matthew LaCroix
“On the highest level, this struggle represents the eternal conflict that exists within mankind over whether it will continue to be blinded by the illusions of the physical world through the means of war, distraction, and material gain, or discover the secrets of consciousness and embrace the essence of their spiritual nature. This “war” is being fought over in both the higher and lower dimensions by the Anunnaki, as well as other beings, which is then manifested down into the third dimension of our reality” - Matthew LaCroix

Matthew LaCroix is one of my favorite researchers, and this book continues that view. Pretty well organized, factual but insinuative, and definitely entertaining. This contains a ton of his work available on Youtube, and may be slightly repetitive if you're VERY familiar with his stuff, but there are golden nuggets of wisdom and knowledge that he tucked in here that he hasn't discussed or spoken of previously. Also, I loved the additional charts showing possible incarnations or names for various "gods" throughout ancient historical socities. Good work Mr. Lacroix, looking forward to the next one.

*sigh.. *
I mean, yeah we didn't answer the big question of Are We Alone yet, but to mix ANCIENT ALIENS conspiracies with the Rothschild's Federal Reserve mechanism with Mesopotamian legends and produce it as a Facts while your stressing all the while that " I WILL CONVINCE YOU WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT" using a problematic kind of writing which I can only call as Highly Amateur is another..
Damn You Von Donikhen!

I listened to the audiobook a while ago, so I'll comment on what I remember. I have read some reviews about the print book and some commentors suggest the writing is atrocious, grammar wise. This isn't evident in the audiobook, but I can definitely see how it would be annoying trying to read.
"The Stage of Time" is a very good book and LaCroix is very passionate about what he researches. The overarching theme comes from the ancient conflict between the serpent and the eagle, which LaCroix depicts through Sumerian myths, most notably the "Legend of Etana." The serpent symbolizes wisdom and is associated with the Sumerian god Enki or EA and the eagle symbolizes authority and the god Enlil. LaCroix suggests throughout history, one can see the eagle attempting to suppress the wisdom the snake attempts to bring into the world in the form of spirituality, esoteric wisdom, and a general understanding of humanity's purpose and capabilities and reality itself.
Throughout the book, LaCroix takes us through ancient civilizations which exhibit this trend, most notably the Sumerian, Akkadian, Hebrew, and briefly discusses the trend in the Greek and Roman eras and even gives some modern examples. It is a very interesting concept and theory worthy of further research. I do appreciate in later videos on YouTube how LaCroix brings into question this book's theory and the possibility of the eagle and snake switching roles from time to time, which indicates nothing is set in stone for LaCroix and he is willing to continually engage his own theories.
Since it was the audio book I listened to, there are no apparent references, but I cannot say there are not in physical book, although, I do seem to remember other comments complaining about this. Any work with these substantial and norm shattering claims should come with evidence and reference to research conducted. Otherwise, it's just another good story.

I don’t want to be negative but found this book a bit boring , I had previously read “illusions of us “ and found this was a bit repetitive of that . With the authors repeated claims of proof and evidence of certain things I was left underwhelmed with what was presented. It did hold a few interesting pieces and if you are new to the untold truths of our lost civilisations then this could be a good starting point . As far as the content regarding our evolution and creation on earth I was not sold on this point. If I could recommend one thing it would be to stop with all the “ this person quoted this and this person quoted this “ it was very repetitive and unnecessary. I guess I had been spoilt as previously reading a lot of what graham Hancock had written and his ideas put forward .

Origins Revealed
I’m in awe of the untold history of our emergence on Earth. Discovering The Annunaki and the two brothers that created duality. Our history of the Eagle presence which was corrupting us. The Serpent and the Dragon was the higher wisdom and was destroyed so many times in different time periods. I knew the Catholic Church and all previous empires conquered every land for material gain. And in the present, the Rothschild legacy is incredibly heartless. We are waking up and we will change our future for the betterment of all of us! Thank you.

Interesting Read
This was the first time I have read this author. I appreciate the extra effort he makes to keep the reader attention throughout his discussion of his theories. I enjoyed learning about why it is hard to appreciate some of the information he presented. I agree education plays a huge part in being open to appreciating new information. I hope others will glean what they can and do more research on this topic. That's how I can across his book

A very objective approach to the nature and character of our universe.
Matt LaCroix has done an excellent job of bringing the ancient Babylonian and Sumerian creation accounts to life for students of this extremely esoteric and little understood ancient literary gift to humanity. The Anunnaki intervention and seeding of the human race is the only viable proposition that can be brought to the scientific/philosophical/spiritual table for the origin of humankind.

Wake up to the lies being told.
I appreciate the data in this book to help do your own research. I never really took to the Bible because I knew there was more to the stories in it. The evidence in this book makes more complete sense to me and fulfills me in ways the Bible never could. Not to say that this book is now my Bible, but it leads me in a direction to find the real truth of who we are and how we got here. Life is not linear.

LaCroix masterfully weaves a tapestry bridging antiquity and modernity in The Stage of Time. His revelations peel back the veil of archetypal myths, unveiling the eternal dance between consciousness and reality. A penetrating exploration illuminating the hidden mysteries underpinning existence itself across cultures and epochs. LaCroix's magnum opus awakens the slumbering divine spark within - a seminal work for any seeker of the primordial gnosis."

Really enjoyable read. My main lingering question is: where are the Annunaki now? If they were superior beings, how did humans survive events like the Younger Dryas and they vanished? There were also several concepts I wasn’t convinced by—like the idea of the moon being a manufactured cosmic object to lower humans’ consciousness—but who knows? Despite those doubts, it totally opened my mind to possibilities that I have never known before.

A good review of the history of planet Earth
While some of these ideas can be found in similar books about our history, this book is a good primer for those who want to know more.
Whilst the story is well presented, the author sometimes jumps around too many ideas on the same page.
Recommended reading for those still trapped in the third dimension.

Very interesting read
We are in a time of great change and so how can we evolve without a true history of who we are. This book tries to do that even though alot is being kept from us by the Vatican to our secret government agencies. We are now able and wanting to accept the truth. It will cause us to grow up.

Very interesting story well put together
There were enough factual observations to make this plausible. But I remain a bit skeptical about some of it. Reality exists beyond the stage and beyond relative time.

Lots of interesting info. Was better than previous book which he often reviewed again in this book. He refers to lots of photos you can look up. Would have been better with the actual photos and more photos to show what he is talking about.

Boring and repetitive without delving into detailed description of the anunaki or eagle/ serpent - dragon cultures, what i was looking for.
February 19, 2021
Can't recommend
While I enjoy this kind of stuff this book is a disorganized mess. Author kept repeating things over and over. Could not finish it. Try Paul Wallis instead.

First book by Matt I have read. I saw him on the Julian Dorey podcast and was intrigued. His work goes hand in hand with what I believe about ancient lost history.
