Review: intergalactic astronauts ahoy, captain, lol! - this book was a real eyeopener in places, especially the story about the goddess inanna/anannan, also known as the goddess ishtar, "possibly" being a hermaphrodite. this was featured in the asian mythology section. the dogon people in western african mythology was quite interesting too: they could have been aliens because they are described in this book as green with red eyes. i don't know if any of these people have survived, but it may explain the area fifty one issues about extra terrestrials. if "they" are living amongst us, maybe there has been an attempt to keep it quiet by the powers that be because they don't want there to be a panic. or maybe earth was visited by these astronauts tens of thousands of years ago? maybe human beings are relative newcomers to this planet and have interbred with other superior lifeforms? maybe maybe maybe. maybe i'm just reading too much into it? maybe i should never have watched the film invasion of the bodysnatchers? maybe you have been drinking too much oasis citrus punch drink, wendy howarth lol! this book was thought provoking for me, and i'm glad i finally got around to reading it. i'm going to peruse the copy of dk the lgbtq+ history book i got some time ago next. i doubt it will blow my mind in the way the dk mythology book has, but you never know, do you? "calling occupants of interplanetary craft....we are your friends" as the carpenters sang in the seventies. read this book and you too may be astounded. maybe....babe.
Review: Great Book, perfect for Ancient Astronaut Theorists. - It is comprehensive and well researched, a lovely gold book of knowledge that is worth its weiht in gold.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book, perfect for Ancient Astronaut Theorists.
*by M***T on 21 October 2024*

It is comprehensive and well researched, a lovely gold book of knowledge that is worth its weiht in gold.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good source of reference, with useful illustrations.
*by T***R on 11 February 2022*

A well researched guide to the world's mythology with thematic links. The graphics layout, however, is, in my opinion, awful. Great big blocks of typeface as headings give a slightly patronising feel to the whole book which detracts from the scholarly content.
