A replacement revealed that, this page alone cut through my hope that the book could be read without the need of picking out the bones. While accurately attributing the identity of some cultural-deities as planetary bodies, the author presents the speculation that 'every' culture's ancient texts can be reduced down to a representation with only a celestial meaning. Every culture was not likely totally immune from the confusion that overtook the world during the catastrophic period, but this does not mean that Yahweh be reduced to the same identity as the physical god's of diverse cultures. Any confusion, before the time of Christ, about the identity of Yaweh, the God of all creation, was resolved by an act of reconciliation as He once again walked among mankind as the person, Jesus of Nazareth, and through demonstration of spiritual realities and power over the physical realm revealed that he is not like the other gods which people honored. Confusion is being reintroduced as mankind mixes their doubts and unbelief with modern scientific discoveries. In this book, there may be a valid explanation for what happened in this world which caused so many cultures to worship celestial bodies as gods but that potential solution only applies to physical realities and can never disqualify the spiritual realities that are experienced to this day in them that exercise their faith in Jesus. dzp * Help other customers find the most helpful reviews * Was this review helpful to you?

I ordered it as a gift, as so many of my friends are wanting to borrow mine that I've lost track of it! I did read it and am still reviewing the DVD. As a retired Chemist / Analyst, enjoying all the material. It resonates with my TRUTH. * Help other customers find the most helpful reviews * Was this review helpful to you?

I can't recommend it strongly enough, both as a source of excellent reference material, and a great read. The implications are profound for so many disparate scientific disciplines. Great work. 5.0 out of 5 stars *Fact can be stranger than fiction*, May 2, 2007 By David B. Lowry The authors have come up with a way to explain myths and legends that stem from the dawn of recorded history. To do this, they are forced to wander into an academic dispute about competing theories in the realm of astronomy. Not to worry, they are equal to the task. If Zeus - the planet Jupiter - really did hurl Thunderbolts, and the planetary Gods really did seem to wage war in the sky, what would be different about our sky? What would we have then seen in the sky that would be different than what we see today? Why do tiny specks of light in the night sky rate status as Gods who seem to possess awe inspiring attributes? Fasten your seat belts. The authors are the major players at Thunderbolts.info, and their follow up volumn can be seen there. * Help other customers find the most helpful reviews * Was this review helpful to you?

Consider that James Clerk Maxwell integrated our understanding of electricity AND magnetism. Electric fields can't be divorced from magnetic fields and vice versa, as "modern astronomy" has tried to do. Current theory generally runs along the lines of an expanding, electrically neutral universe. HOWEVER, as our technology has improved, our image of space has also changed. It is time for astronomers to catch up to the times. Magnetic fields are omnipresent in space. But magnetic fields rely on electric fields, and vice versa. The notion of an electrically neutral universe CANNOT co-exist with a universe in which magnetism is omnipresent. If the hallowed halls of science will allow discussion of electricity on earth, in the solar system, and in the universe, perhaps we can make some progress in various areas: solar physics (the sun is basically a giant ball of plasma, or electrically charged particles, operating under the influence of gigantic magnetic fields that are dominant over the force of gravity as readily evidenced by coronal loops, solar flares, CME's, etc.), weather (we still have minimal understanding of lightning, tornadoes, water spouts, landspouts, hurricanes and what actually motivates them), planetary scarring (some features seen on Earth an other bodies in the solar system CANNOT be explained by impact, or fluid dynamics, or any number of other ad hoc theories). Perhaps the approach of modern physics contrasted with ancient testimony will pave the way to a new understanding. If nothing else, the photos and graphics used are stellar (no pun intended), the anecdotes cited are interesting, and the book asks a number of good question requiring answer. I look forward to the next monograph as well: The Electric Universe.

YesNo 5.0 out of 5 stars *You'll change your view of the world and the Universe*, April 24, 2007 By Ian Tresman On the one hand, this is a coffee-table book, beautifully presented with full colour images throughout, and an easy read. On the other hand, this is a very thought-provoking book, combining subjects as diverse as astronomy, plasma physics, ancient history, mythology and rock art. The common thread throughout the book are thunderbolts, which includes both terrestrial mega-lightning, and cosmic super-aurorae, that are recorded by the ancient in their myths and legends and iconography. The book gives some good examples of how mega-lighting, in the form of high-energy, high density plasma z-pinches evolve in the laboratory. Many of us have thought about the analogy between a static spark, and a lightning bolt. But as the book points out, if you increase the electric current, the shape of the spark (or electric discharge) changes too. The book suggests that such laboratory discharges can also occur in the sky as intense aurorae, and whose appearance was recorded in ancient art (icons, petroglyph and rock art). The book shows some remarkable similarities, which in my opinion are too numerous to be coincidental. The book further shows how related plasma phenomena seen the laboratory also apply to astronomy. I've subsequently read Don Scott's book, The Electric Sky which focuses on the science of astrophysical plasmas (the Plasma Universe and Electric Universe), and the books support each other well. Highly recommend. * Help other customers find the most helpful reviews * Was this review helpful to you? YesNo
