Summary: rationality essential (pace reader from Great NorthWest)
Comment: 'A reader from Great NorthWest' claims that Hamilton's book 'opens your mind unless you've got the lock of rationality and science chained around it'. The reference is apparently to my own earlier review. But rationality (including science) is exactly how we evaluate competing theories about the world. It is NOT out of date ('1950') and it is NOT the same thing as closed-mindedness or thinking inside a 'tiny box' (that does occur but is very rare in serious scholarship). If Hamilton wants us to accept a radically novel & in many ways implausible account of the matters discussed, he must produce better evidence and argumentation than he does in his book. After all, if he is right, large parts of existing theories and ideas which are themselves very well supported must somehow be wrong. Perhaps 'reader from Great NorthWest', or some other admirer of Hamilton, can marshall evidence & argumentation and rebut my criticisms (which could be expanded to considerably greater length & detail). If so, I will cheerfully accept and promote Hamilton's views. If not, I stand by my criticisms; and on current evidence I am confident that other scholars would endorse them. (No one can say I ignored the book because of the views it expresses. Some scholars would think it unworthy of comment, but I am an active skeptic and thus take a different view.)

Summary: rational mind is so limited that it doesn't know it
Comment: This book opens your mind. Unless you've got the lock of rationality and science chained around it.
Many people like the "DR." who reviewed this book will not get it. It is outside the tiny box they have squeezed their minds into.
For a well researched and thoughtful look at some of human history, without the fear of grasping at the circa 1950 type of rationality, buy this book.

Summary: Fascinating
Comment: This book is one of the most incredible books on the Serpent Mound I have read. Traditional archeologist, of course, will not accept the theories presented here because they contain numberology, spirituality, and most of all, the fact that the Greek alphabet is encrypted within the Serpent Mound. The author, however, doesn't notice that this aludes to the fact that builders of the Serpent Mound where aware of the Green Language of the Alchemist, also known as the Language of the Birds. These subjects are covered fully in William Henry's "Language of the Birds" and David Ovason's "The Secrets of Nostradamus".
One of the most important discoveries in this book is that the Great Serpent Mound is meant to mirror the constellation of Draco. This constellation is important to Eastern esoteric sciences such as Tao, among others.
