Book Reviews of Vimana Aircraft of Ancient India and Atlantis (Lost Science Series)
Book Review: brilliant subject matter - weak delivery
Summary: 2 Stars
As a reference work on the subject of ancient aircraft, this book could be very useful. the ideas presented are fascinating and at some points surprising. However, the writing is so amateur that is almost hurts to read this book. Simple grammatical errors, poor editing, jumping around and spending time on seemingly irrelevant subjects is only the beginning.
Childress gives us hope in the beginning by citing valid sources such as the ancient Sanskrit texts themselves and knowledgeable scholars. But this is quickly destroyed by lengthy references to esoteric sources like the "Lemurian Fellowship", upon which many of his statements regarding Atlantis and Lemuria are based. This puts this truly brilliant subject matter in the esoteric pseudo-scientific, non-serious corner.
The sloppy stream-of-thought writing style and extensive overuse of exclamation points (!) to underline every supposedly insightful sentence does this material a disservice. Fortunately it is repairable. I'm sure this book can be useful as a reference list for someone seriously interested in this brilliant subject.
I hope that in future scholars can address this material with greater clarity. Not only did ancient civilizations probably have technologies more advanced than modern man, they were apparently able to write in a more sophisticated way as well. Isn't it time we began learning from them on this point, too?
