 Imagine... Jul 17, 2008
Imagine that evolution did not stop once our species, Homo Sapiens, had been produced. Imagine that in some isolated corner of our planet evolution would have created hominidae who are wiser than us, taller, and much more beautiful. Imagine that, one day, they suddenly turn up among us, in all their imposing superiority. How would we react ? It would be a shocking experience, that's the least you can say. The point of this book is that this weird scenario is not so hypothetical as it sounds, but that it has existed in real life, in the era just before classical antiquity. These further evolved hominidae, named « Homo Supersapiens » by the author, were the persons who were called « gods » by the ancients.
So, the so-called « gods » of antiquity were neither extraterrestrials, nor imaginary or supernatural beings, but, simply, further evolved hominidae. The author produces strong arguments to make his case, relying on a large number of ancient sources. After reading this book I am convinced that the whole history of mankind has to be rewritten in a fundamental way.

Other hominidae did exist Jul 17, 2008
We, humans, are "not alone" indeed. Or, rather, we weren't. A long time ago, other hominidae lived together with us on this same planet. We called them "the gods"... That's the revolutionary thesis of this intelligent book, based upon substantial evidence which the author has found in the ancient myths. Highly recommended!

The Lost Civilization of Homo Supersapiens Mar 23, 2008
This is a great and clever book. The author, ex-historian and ex-journalist goes in-depth in analyzing european and asian history, folklore and religion to argument for a highculture that existed thousands of years ago. This book does not like many others (by studying Plato and maps of the bottom of the sea) try to pinpoint where Atlantis was located. Its one of the best and most serious books in the subject and I can recommend it to everyone interested in old history and/or the atlantis-myth. You will learn alot about gods and ancient history and texts.

 supersapiens. . .what a joke Feb 08, 2008
Don't waste your money or time on this stupid book. While I enjoy a flight of fancy as well as the next person, this book is just drivel. Why bother?

As reviewed by New York Times best-selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh Jun 28, 2007
What if we humans were not really the forerunners of civilization? What if that mythical place some call Atlantis really was a land of the gods? And what if the gods of antiquity weren't imaginary but flesh and blood and lived among humans, with the only difference between them and us being that they were of a higher species? That's the provocative premise of author Jos Rogiers' inspiring new book, The Lost Civilization of Homo Supersapiens.
Meticulously researched and richly told, Rogiers' book illuminates our past and our present and attempts to shed new light on our future. Building on the premise of their existence, Rogiers suggests that these higher beings lived among vast stores of precious metals, so that their age was called "the Golden Age." In luminous prose, Rogiers describes their great empire and their golden rule, where love, peace, justice and happiness were every person's birthright. When a battle occurred at the end of the Bronze Age, these gods disappeared, an event that Rogiers says opened a window for the establishment of evil. But the gods left a message behind, revealing that they would come again and establish a new golden age.
This is a thoughtful and inspiring book. Groundbreaking in scope and a page-turner to read, The Lost Civilization of Homo Supersapiens is also nothing less than an exciting forecast of the golden age that is to come and a reexamination of a so-called "lost" civilization, which thanks to Rogiers, is not so very lost after all.
