I remember buying this book years ago when looking for something outlandish to read, but when I finally got around to reading it, I realised that I'd misjudged it - well, partly. The authors don't hide the fact that they are open to many of the subjects discussed - alien contact, the pyramids of Mars, Atlantis - but most of the book adopts quite an agnostic approach to these central questions. But it's most interesting aspect is that it provides a fascinating account of how various intelligence agencies, cults and organisations have manipulated - perhaps, created - the so-called New Age for their own agenda (sometimes 'spiritual', but often political or even military). Furthermore, the links it makes between these various individuals and organisations are often not conjectural, but documented fact - which is quite worrying, really. Do people in high places really think that aliens built the pyramids, or created life on Earth? Or is it all just some elaborate social experiment to road-test a new means of social control? The authors, to their credit, remain relatively open minded - which was, for someone with a sceptical disposition, something of a pleasant surprise for me! Saying that, their tracing of the endless and intricate web of connections may leave some readers cold.
This book is a very interesting take on the whole Graham Hancock/Robert Hauval scene for those of you who follow that. The Stargate Conspiracy was written in 99 and updated in 2001. It doesnt just go into hancock bauval but into the whole subject which is still relevant today with the shows on History Channel such as Ancient Aliens etc. and how their research indicates the CIA and other groups may be interested in sort of guiding the publics thinking in a certain direction for whatever reason. Their research indicates mass mind control experiments may be involved. With extensive research links and footnotes. Very interesting read.
What do You think about The Stargate Conspiracy (2015)?
This book is a must read for both the believers and critics of Ancient Alien/Astronaut hypothesis. The book reveals layer by layer the covert planning of some big names in the world of Science, Technology & the world intelligence agencies to have a world dominance or establish a new world order by creating a mass hysteria and a new age religion.I have enjoyed reading the book since I am a strong critic of Ancient Alien/Ancient Astronaut hypothesis as it strip humanity of all its achievements and gave it to some imaginary beings from outer space.
