For a moment I was tempted to give this two stars because in its first part, Coppens appeared to be focusing on the at times viciously vindictive world of archaeology, where you can find numerous examples of rivalries and blinkered perspectives that do suppress new finds and new interpretations of old finds. It's a problem found in all fields (it's a subplot in Le Guin's The Dispossessed even). But then he has to drag Atlantis into the mix and he starts quoting Graham Hancock and Michael Cremo... At least aliens don't figure into things. And he gets so close to legitimate criticism. For example, he discusses evidence for a megalithic culture that flourished in France but then appears to have collapsed around 1200 BCE. Anyone familiar with the history of that period will recognize the proximity of that date to 1177 BCE, the anchor date for when the Bronze Age came to an end and the civilizations of the Eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia collapsed (with the exception of Egypt). Is it not likely that - had such a culture existed - its collapse could be linked to the general Bronze Age collapse? Could its people have played a role in the Sea Peoples migrations? Rather than link it to the most recent research, however, Coppens speculates on its ties to "civilizations" from the last Ice Age. And, like many books of this ilk, the author is arguing with straw men. Figures from the 19th and early 20th centuries whose theories and assumptions have been challenged (and often overturned) in the last few generations. It was an interesting diversion for my morning walks but Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles remains the unchallenged champion (IMO) when it comes to pseudo-scientific claptrap. Sitchin is a loon but it's so much fun to read about the travails of the Annunaki.
