Title: Should be sued for offenses against knowledge
Review: It can only be an indictment of our currrent, media-addled culture that anyone would take this book as serious history. Menzies research is so flawed, and his reasoning so ignorant, that a junior high school class should be able to take it apart in an afternoon. If you are inclined to take any of this book as fact, take a quick look at Menzies footnotes. Many of his references are to scientific and historical notes from the 19th century and many of his "finds" were "unfortunatley destroyed before they could be confirmed." Menzies apparently hasn't had much of an education; if he had, he would be embarrassed to make so many claims based on willful ignorance and the last centry or two of effort by real historians and archaeologists. His disgrace is only matched by those who promote its claims.
Is the review positive or negative?
