Thoth: Architect of the Universe

Summary: New and interesting ideas
Review: I found this book to be a fascinating publication.

Mr Ellis certainly has done an enormous amount of research, both in the libraries, and in the field.

I found that the central theme of the book ties in very closely with arguments put forward in publications by Robert Bauval, Robert Temple, Graham Hancock, Maurice Cotterell, and others. In fact, it is very believable, unless one is unable to discard the dogma of centuries of archaeological and religious indoctrination.

The central theme (theory) certainly gives us a different view of the possible meaning of the Pyramids, and Stonehenge

It is a great shame though, that the proofreaders seem to have "slipped up", and enjoyment of the book is marred by a plethora of spelling and grammatical mistakes.

Perhaps in the reprinted edition......?

All in all, a good read if you have an open mind.

Summary: Well researched, requires "lateral thinking".

Summary: Just plain awful
Review: I'm a serious student of alternative history and was looking in earnest to read Ellis' book, because it has been footnoted by some big names in the field.

What a disappointment! This book might be of some interest to engineers and people who love to play with numbers, but it makes zero sense historically. Not only is Ellis' final concluclusion absurd, but the length of time it takes to get there is far too long. The writing is clumsy and the thoughts convolulted.

This is one time I'm sorry I spent the money.

Review: Nice to see something very new and exciting in this field of research. Well researched and very provokative thoughts on the history of manking - I like it.
