Most ancient cultures speak of a time when their GODS visited them. They never say their GODS came from across the ocean, or from the mountains. They always came down from the skies. Was ancient man visited by GODS or Extraterrestrials?
Knowledge Apocalypse ("lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e. the veil to be lifted.
I hate myself a little more after reading this whole book. To be fair though, after about 30% through I was just hate-reading and my curiosity had been thoroughly quelled.
In addition to the nonsense spewed throughout the book it was completely riddled with typos, from misspelled words to words smashed together to just the wrong word completely. But I did read the whole thing just to make sure I could back up why I so vehemently hated it.
This is a thought-provoking book filled with ancient knowledge. The author explains where strange events or locations in a way that makes you think. The author provides information that I have never heard before. I didn't believe everything the author explained but he does make a point in each case.
I’m a fan of the ancient alien theory but this book wasn’t that great. I read the ‘10th Anniversary Edition’ and it was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. You’d think after 10 years someone would have read over it and made some corrections.
Compelling information all neatly tied together and supported by evidence. Quick, worthwhile read for anyone interested in the proposition of another angle to the meaning of life and where we really are in the process.
Knowledge Apocalypse Kindle Edition by Jason Martell I borrowed this book via KU and am choosing to leave a review.
I'll admit I borrowed this book because the series Ancient Aliens seems to have either been canceled or is on some kind of eternal hiatus.
Mr. Martell was a frequent contributor to the History Channel's series, as such, I just had to give in, and c read his book. I didn't know that it was about the Martian “City” and “Face”. It has been an extremely long time (some time back in the late 90's) since I looked at the various theories surrounding the objects on our nearest neighbor. I was once a deep devotee to Richard Hoagland, devouring his books and website voraciously. Then he bought into the 2KY thing that failed to produce anything worthwhile, so I kind of bailed. And then I faced a medical crisis that including ongoing treatment. My reading turned to the less than academic!
I was impressed by Mr. Martell's academic rigor when he heard about the various artifacts on the surface of Mars. He chased down experts on both sides of naturo/arti – fact argument. However, this is where he left his critical thought and research habits behind
This was the most recent edition of the book that I was able to locate on KU, so I was left with a number of questions that I'd like to ask here, because this my review!
1 He indicates that the landscape of Mars would resemble an ancient Earth civilization site seen from 1000 feet in the air. I wander if we can in fact use this to prove or disprove the validity of the photos with similar shots from the same type of equipment from the same era?
These are just a few of the issues that this book has. Ranging from wild statements of 'fact' to incomplete or disproved statements – such as the age of Stonehenge (perhaps he was unaware of the large dig that discovered the Woodhenge and earthen henges or the carbon dating of the Archer – a buried man who may have been a sacrifice) to a shocking and distressing lack of citations and footnotes that would allow anyone to trace back where and how Mr Martell arrived at his conclusions., this book is not for the person interested in hard facts about archaeology or forbidden history. This is for fun and fun only. If you park your critical thinking at the start and just read for the X-Files feel, it is enjoyable
4.5 stars if you are in for the fun. 2 if you are looking for anything like real science.
Interesting take on the connection between ancient cultures and the knowledge they possessed at a time that mainstrem scientists claim man was still living in caves.
