July 26, 2009: Let me first say that I have not finish reading the book but have read enough to know where the rest of the book is going.
I only started reading on the topic recently so I dont have a lot to compare the book to. Appears well researched. The writing is very descriptive and has kept my interest completely. If anything, I wish Hancock would have written more of his opinions of the historical timeline. So much of the book was simply what he saw and what others feel the timeline is for these sites... Von Daniken's personal feelings and opinions, while not forced on you in his writings, tend to pull you more into the period and his writings. This book is different in that Hancock travels to these historical sites, describes them very well and then comments on how there are differing views to the dates in which these sites could have been occupied. He doesn't say what he thinks, how he feels. This is the one thing that continued to roll in the back of my mind the entire time I was reading the book.
