I don't feel like it's fair for me to rate this book, since I only read bits and pieces of it. I checked it out looking for mythology books and it ended up being much more archeology-heavy, so I skipped around to the pieces that seemed interesting, and for the most part I was right and they were interesting. Unfortunately, one or two of the articles felt like they cut off abruptly and I never got the conclusions I was hoping for on those. Overall this book wasn't what I was looking for, but someone looking for cool archeological theories would probably enjoy it.
