Authentic.

loved it. the breakdown in detail is phenomenal and how all these false gods ties back to Babylon and nimrod

A must read .

found that I missed a lot growing up and reading books that only had one side. The Bible says it all. This book here says it all to. loved it.

A deep study well read.

The subject is valuable, and it should be required reading for all, irrespective of faith, culture or worldview. Trying to follow along while reading, however, is making this a chore. It seems that the version being read is a later edition than any available book, which is fine. Be aware, that you are taken from the main text to notes, made separate appendixes, to extra material not in the book. If you are able, it might be worthwhile to listen only.

All that said, this narrator is good. The speed is reasonable, even though the subject matter is heavy. Mr. Hislop, the author, used the style of his time, which I quite enjoy. It gives review, which is essential to any lecture, so that you learn, and, if you miss it, it is repeated the next time, building, without going backwards. Here, the narrator goes through, just as if you were in the classroom. He properly pronounces the words, and there is no pausing, as if he's lost his place.

This is actually the second narrator of this book I have encountered. The first was awful, as if he was making every other word a question, challenging your attention. Mr. Richards reads just as if he were giving his own lecture, not reading another scholar's work. When you have fifteen hours to get through, how it is read really does matter.

There can be possibly what can be viewed as "racial" stereotyping- but, remember, you are reading a historical book. The information on how we got from Nimrod to now is correct. That Cush, the son of Ham was a Negro, seems insulting to us. But remember, this book was written a very long time ago, and that is how someone with dark skin was identified. I reccomend you pull out your King James Bible, and diagram for yourself Genesis 10. Note all the descendants of Noah. Set aside the culture of a good teacher, utilize the advanced resources we now have. The truth cannot change, but how we express it does.

Impressive research.

All of my research lines up with every account Mr. Hislop has recorded. The only thing I don’t see is the connection being made between the the number of his name and the beast. If you take the words from the MITRE that the pope wore ((in 962 AD - until he took it off 1962 which fulfilled a prophecy “the beast that was and is not and yet is”)) it’s shaped like a fish head representing the fish god DAGON) it goes: VICARIOUS FILII DEI which translates “to stand in the place of the son of god” he claims to be God on earth. Now, if you take the mathematical equivalent of the letters in Latin it goes: V is 5, I is 1 (one), C is 100, U is 5 because there are no u’s in Latin. L is 50, D is 500, all of the other letters have no value they are 0 (zero). 500+100+50+5(2 times)+6 ones = 666. This was well known throughout the dark ages and recent history up until about 125 years or so ago when it was being distorted and not taught to the church for the last several generations. A lot more on this teaching but I will leave this right here. Overall I was impressed and pleased with Mr. Hislop’s work. Everyone that lives in America and calls themselves a Christian should read this book and study Roman and Church history in depth.

Loved it, been wanting to read it for a while so I'm glad it was on here.
