Book Description

Brief Old Testament references to a former civilisation that was destroyed by the Flood have fascinated scholars for centuries, giving rise to exotic speculations ranging from the advanced technology of Atlantis through to extraterrestrial visitors. But it is only now that one British researcher's ten-year quest has brought together the entire body of accounts of an antediluvian race from across the globe - from the ancient texts of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece and Scandinavia, to the sacred traditions of indigenous peoples from the Americas, Africa, Indonesia and Australasia - with stunning results. GENESIS UNVEILED: The Lost Wisdom of our Forgotten Ancestors is the result of that painstaking quest, and its conclusions are unlike anything you have read before. Like other notable revisionist historians, Ian Lawton argues that our forebears were far more culturally advanced than has been previously believed - to the extent that they built sizeable settlements and navigated the oceans to trade. He backs up this belief with tantalising evidence from archaeology. Yet the most significant common theme uniting the ancient traditions is that our 'forgotten race' was originally highly spiritual but became increasingly obsessed with the material world before it perished in a global catastrophe - which geological and other evidence suggests occurred around 11,500 years ago. Throughout Genesis Unveiled the author's reinterpretations of ancient sacred texts are underpinned by a spiritual ethos based on the principles of karma and reincarnation. So the catastrophe is seen as a karmic event brought about by our forgotten race's fall from grace. As to how a spiritual worldview was first brought into human consciousness, he argues that underlying the various accounts of the creation of man and of mankind's 'civilisation' by various 'sages' is the genuine reality that the genus Homo had at some point evolved sufficiently in physical, psychological and physiological terms that it was ready to play host to the first advanced souls to incarnate in human form. He argues that this would have represented the most significant cultural impetus ever to the evolution of humanity, and that it can be practically tied into the first signs of ritual burial in the archaeological record, which date back 100,000 years to a site in Israel. This surely represents the point at which our ancestors first appreciated that the soul lives on after death, and that there are ethereal realms in addition to the physical world around us - a view that would lead tens of thousands of years later to the wonderful shamanic cave paintings of Western Europe. Yet perhaps the most stunning scholastic discovery in Genesis Unveiled is Lawton's revelation of the incredible consistency and esoteric wisdom of all origin myths right across the world, which has been completely overlooked by orthodox scholars who insist on purely psychological interpretations. Moreover, the timeless and universal truths contained in them have been dramatically reconfirmed by modern theoretical science in recent decades, with the revelations that everything is energy, that matter is an illusion, that everything is interconnected, that everything has consciousness, and that there are multiple other dimensions beyond the apparently physical. As a result, the author is able to lay out a philosophical and historical framework that merges a scientific, evolutionary perspective with a spiritual worldview - with no inherent conflicts or contradictions. Above all, Genesis Unveiled emphasises that the theme of a debased and materialistic culture that perished when it lost touch with its spiritual roots is one that we should heed carefully - for if we can come to recognise the path we are now treading as one our ancestors have been down before, we may be able to fundamentally alter our priorities and reconnect ourselves with our spiritual roots before universal karma once again decides enough is enough... Genesis Unveiled represents:1. The first serious attempt to bring all the precatastrophe texts and traditions from around the world together for comparison.2. The first time the catastrophe of 11,500 years ago has been viewed in its proper context as a karmic event based on our antediluvian ancestors fall from spiritual grace.3. The first time the incredible consistency and esoteric wisdom of the origin traditions from all around the world has been revealed.4. The first philosophically logical merger of a spiritual and scientific worldview.5. The first attempt at a spiritual prehistory of mankind with relevance to the modern world.

Denial Unveiled.......2007-06-17

I have to say this writer is denial of obvious facts. For instance, even though the pyramids of Giza match perfectly with the belt of Orion (as seen through a high powered telescope, Lawton calls Bauval's work "dubious interpretation."

Although a 5000 year old glider sits on display in the Cairo museum and has been shown to be aerodynamic and proven to fly whith a back wing added to its vertical stabilizer, Lawton still argues that "it is more likely to represent a stylised bird." Yoiks!

His denial even prevents him from seeing the helicopter in the Abbydos temple heiroglyph which clearly shows a helicopter, tank and plane!

Lawton passes off all physical evidence and plausible theories presented by Hancock, Sitchin, Bauval and others as presenting "confusing argument" or "scant regard for logical flow" without any evidence or facts to prove otherwise. His disregard is likened to Republican denial of global warming, the benefits of alternative energies, and the blatant denial of the laws of physics in covering up the controlled demolition of the World Trade Centers.

Don't waste your time on this book!

Relax people the book is not that bad........2006-07-27

Awesome read.

This is a very well-researched piece of literature!---period...

I think people need to be informed to as much information from all different angles, on every subject regarding life, the universe and god, and anything else for what its worth. That way they can forge their own opinions on these touchy subjects, based upon the homework they have done. Even if the information they are recieving is a dubbed "conspiracy theory" by others or a cold stone fact for that matter.

I liked this book and I recommend it to anybody interested in ancient history.

Valuable Information for the truth seeker.......2005-08-11

This book is a wealth of information. Containing similar findings as many of the great scholars of our time. There is much agreement with Sitchen, Tsarian, Henry, Maxwell and others. One stong aspect of this book is the author's ability to dig into really good research and pull up facts that are becoming more acceptable in the world of truth today. I like the fact that it he makes a summary with key points at the end of each main section.
A great book!!!!

Excellent stuff.......2005-03-02

Having read the rude and unfounded reviews of this book i feel compelled to respond to the ingrates below. (Not you nice man!)
Lies? What lies? Do you know your stuff at all? This is astounding research of source material by a thorough and scholarly writer!
And as for you mister 'i wasted my money', yes you did. I think copies of 'politeness for beginners' are available for $1.
Perhaps you all were reading a completely different book? Yes, it is apparent that the author believes in reincarnation, but given all the evidence, so did our ancestors? He's just asking why. It's not one-sided, it's not preachy, it's just good.
Maybe it struck a cord and you don't like that. Maybe it challenged you to think about important issues. Maybe you're too focused on believing the trite nonsense in most other books of this ilk (see oxford dictionary). Not enough aliens? Still realing from a probing that you need accounting for?
I'm sorry to be so harsh, but really, this book is obviously ground breaking and well-researched. So regardless of your personal thoughts on it's content, give it credit for the thoroughness of the evaluation.

Really bad if you do not believe in reincarnation.......2005-01-28

This book sounds exciting but when you got to the first chapter, you would realise that it is really a bad book if you do not believe in reincarnation.

Other than that, it is not well written and the author tends to digress. Many of the examples cited did not help him to support his case.

This is one the few books I really regret buying!
