Dr. Lana Cantrell was born in Salzburg, Austria, and now lives in a suburb of the Twin Cities in MN. She is a member of the American Association of the Advancement of Science, American Institute of Biological Science, American Holistic Medical Foundation, Palepathology Association, and the Ancient Astronaut Society.

Eight year of exhaustive research has revealed the true history of mankind, hidden in the ancient texts of the Egyptian, Sumerian, Indian and Hebrew peoples. Did man have a fully developed, technological society in deepest antiquity? Did he once have the power of space flight? Did a vast universal war distroy the world? Fact or fiction? That is what this research attempts to discern as the ancient texts unfold their secrets.

"Revealed the true history"

Alarm bells.

Ringing.

And I've mentioned this before. Translations are so very easy to get wrong and misread, especially when looking for something in a 21st century context.

Some readers comments on Amazon:

"My jaw dropped at some of the author's assertions, e.g. the cross is a symbol that enraptures degenerate peoples (chapter 4), healthy women produce nothing but males (chapter 8), lesbianism is well known in working women (chapter 8), if a woman is married to an unsuccessful man she should go to the kitchen and feed him properly (chapter 13), humans were not created to use pen and ink (chapter 15 - in that case, why has she written the book??), reincarnation is merely people's picking up their ancestors' thoughts (chapter 25), reading should not be taught till at least 10-12 years of age (chapter 33), national pride is better in Austria and Germany than in the USA (chapter 41), the British are narrow minded (chapter 41), and, my favourite, the computer generation is a mindless generation using a machine as a crutch for a much crippled mind."

"Also, the earth would appear to be hollow, with denizens from one faction of the gods responsible for confusing peoples' minds with electro-magnetic resonance, beamed up from inside the planet, as part of a policy of keeping humanity subdued but happy."

"I was incredulous that this tome was submitted for a doctorate. There are bibliographical listings, but no footnotes whatsoever. Nothing that actually documents a word she says, except a lot of quoting from the Veda and some from the Old Testament -- which, properly footnoted, would have saved a lot of paper and left room for her own thoughts. If I wanted to read the Veda, I would have read the Veda."

Please excuse me while I go over to the side and scream at this BS.

This could be a hidden link to our ancient past, and people from the Heavens who uplifted us from the Stone Age, and kick-started our ascent into civilization.

OR

It might be a draft of the next 'Stargate' film.

I'm not sure which.

Because, of course, humanity, as a whole, IS happy, wouldn't you say? And as for subdued, well, look at what's going on in the world today. Subdued, happy peoples don't go to war, do they?

OR
It might be the start of a new religion called 'Stargateolgy'. Short actors and old dancing filmstars with fears of revealing their true sexuality might join in their thousands. Converts will be expected to work very hard and give all their money over to the Church.

Where have we heard it all before

This book seems interesting I might go out and buy it.

I haven't read the book.. did she really believe some of those things..Those sexist ideas etc....or was she just speaking of how things were thought of in those times ????...or did she glean over lots of unusual facts and ideas just to make something outragous...credulous enough to earn ...pass her thesis ????Cause you are supposed to come up with something original aren't you...

Any other or her writings about???

Hence the reason one should study up on what they're posting before they post.

...Sorry!!!!

I've been guilty of that crime... She does seem an interesting person ... can't find that much more on her on the internet though...
Anyone know anything else on her????... Maybe that book was tongue in cheek???
