 Proof of Vedic Culture's Global Existence Jun 11, 2009
I bought Mr. Knapp's book as part of my interest in our earliest civilizations. While he provides a wealth of information, the book is often tedious, and his presentation stops far short of the "proof" he promises. Most of the evidence consists of linguistic analysis, which is not something the average reader finds fascinating. Little is offered in the way of physical artifacts to supplement the argument. Despite my disappointments, I recommend Knapp's book to those looking to understand the origins of human civilization. The reader also needs to know that the author has a point of view here, and I didn't think for a moment that he was objective in his analysis.
 Masterpiece - Authentic Work on True Vedic History Apr 08, 2009
This unique book (well-researched and well-written) that reveals the truth about the Vedic history. The problems of "war, hate, anxiety, mistrust among nations, etc." are the result of our failure to recognize the truth. Understanding the truth will show us how to harmonize our actions so that we can overcome and eradicate all our difficulties and always live peacefully and joyfully.
Some people don't want to accept the truth because they do not feel comfortable with the truth. This is living in ignorance. Wise people understand that Vedic knowledge is universal (like how Mathematics is).

Not for the faint hearted :) Feb 24, 2008
This book would be condemned by dogmatic readers as it provides new information that may contravene their beliefs. I highly recommend this book for readers that are open-minded and are searching for the truth about early civilisation.
I had the urge to find out about the beginnings of mankind and had a good idea that it started out in the east as the oldest evidence and highest populations lie in these regions...
Stephen Knapp takes us through a wordwide journey and startles us with some hidden truths substantiated with evidence (can you imagine the difficulty associated in providing evidence for an era thousands of years ago..?)
An excellent read!

Where there is smoke there is fire Nov 18, 2007
I did not read this book, but I browsed thru this and some of Knapp's books and many of the reviews here. It is difficult for people in the west (especially religious ones) to accept that their language and possibly even some of their ancestors have roots in ancient northern India from thousands of years ago, given the present poor condition of India in comparison to the west. Although in recent times, after 60 years of independence from British, it has made remarkable progress; may once again become one of the global powers as it was before the arrival of Islam and British into India. There has to be a common thread, whether that thread originated in India or else where. There is no evidence that great civilizations and thought existed in the west, 5000 years ago. So, how could they have come to India from the west, as English led us all to believe. When one reads ancient Bhagavatam, it is clear that the Vedic kings before 5000 years ago were global rulers, it was a different era and these ancient books need a close look without any pride and prejudice. According to bible, the world is only 5000 years old, these ancient books of India go back to hundreds of thousands of years and even millions of years in time line, right there, there is a conflict with Judeo, Christian, Islamic beliefs. So, how can majority of the people who belong to these religions will ever study these ancient books of India and try to find the truth. I admire Stephen Knapp's courage and will to study these ancient books and write mainly for westerners. Granted that there may be a stretch in certain cases, but unless there is fire there is no smoke, we can see Vedic signatures thru out the world.
