I appreciate all the material Cochrane has given us.
Cochrane puts forth a thesis that the Warrior God, Mars (known by many names by the far-flung cultures in antiquity) was a universal archetype, with very specific identifying characteristics. His method of mythology comparison,helps identify the planet Mars, in deep antiquity, as being terrifyingly close in proximity to Earth—- and marvelous inspiration for the thousands of Warrior-god legends around the world.


I recommend anyone looking into type of research to read works by Immanuel Velikovsky and David Talbott.
The book is highly approachable and mentions some of the other key aspects that are related to the group- thunderbolts project.
