Summary: FASCINATING EVIDENCE OF ANCIENT WISDOM SECRETLY PRESERVED
Comment: Using their insider's view of Freemasonry, and several years of research, the authors analyse ancient traditions in order to expose fascinating novel insights into key stages in human history. The topics presented are thoroughly researched, and the arguments are objective, logical, structured, clearly presented and easy to follow. There is an intelligent balance of detail and relevance in the information presented.
Substantial scientific data are cited to support the case that the biblical flood was an authentic historical event, with a clearly identified cause dated to the relevant period, and global cataclysmic effects that can still readily be seen today. An impressive ancient understanding of geometry, astronomy, navigation, the measurement of time, and other sciences, is revealed in the legacy of our distant ancestors. Persuasive documentary and archaeological proof is presented, together with interesting anecdotal evidence, to suggest how pre-historic wisdom was acquired and carefully handed down by secret organisations. An intriguing series of events are described, from the knowledge taught to Enoch by the angel Uriel, through the construction of megalithic monuments, to the creation and shaping of nations and religions, and the formation of modern secret societies - even the mysterious agenda of the New World Order. The book culminates in some astonishing observations on the influence of ancient traditions on today's modern civilisation. Royal and aristocratic bloodlines are traced back to high-priests from the ancient middle-east. Their secret knowledge is guarded by an elite Masonic brotherhood, organised by some of the world's most influential people. It seems that a sacred ideology - established in a legendary ancient era when gods lived on Earth among men - may be about to return to govern the world.
Such an intriguing and though-provoking text will enrich and broaden the outlook of anyone interested in reading about popular topics relevant to history, religion, conspiracy theory, or secret societies.

Summary: Thought-provoking!
Comment: If you saw this book (particularly the dust jacket) on your bookseller's shelf, your original opinion might be that it is another sensationalistic work of new-age archaeology. The authors have taken certain traditions learned through their association with Freemasonry and attempted to discover any historical or scientific basis. Paleontologists will claim that the authors are practicing "voodoo science", (as though the paleontologists have never been wrong.) But the authors give you a great read, and they have certainly packed their book with enough information for you to question most of what you grew up believing about pre-history. Aware of that and still a little skeptical, my next book was "Rain of Iron and Ice" by John S. Lewis, a seriously qualified astronomer (Codirector, NASA, U. of Arizona Space Engineering Research Center), which convinced me that the hypotheses of Knight and Lomas were not only interesting and exciting, but highly plausible. I'm going to read Uriel's Machine again to see if there's anything that I missed the first time.

Summary: Fascinating reading
Comment: I only came upon this book because my partner thought it was a novel that might interest me, but I have found it one of the most informative, enlightening and easy to read history books I have come across.
Not having read anything by these authors before ( but I will be ) I found that the presentation and explanation of their theories, and data to support them, were both fascinating and challenging. The theory that a complex civilisation existed in the British Isles around 10,000 years ago, is well presented and backed in most cases by solid evidence, and each new premise keeps the pages turning.
The religious connection of these people to both Judaism and Christianity is a fascinating subject and probably would make a great study, as I believe that the information presented on the religous aspect could be further researched to include the rise of Islam, as there are many similarities, especially the views of Christ.
The only minor negative is the focus on the future of Freemasonry, especially in Britain, but it is obviously a passion of the authors and is easily forgiven. Overall a very good book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys history or religious topics, young or old, as long as you have an open mind.
