Extremely Shocking Information

If you have already read other books that center around the question of who made the pyramids, and why, and so on, then this is the one to read next. I was profoundly shocked by this book. I have known about the "Chariots Of The Gods" idea, and other such bizarre speculations, for decades now - and could not be surprised by anything like that. Entertained, yes, but not surprised as I have already heard it all before. Or so I thought. I already know that there are pyramids all over the world. Pyramids in Europe, in both North and South America, all over Asia, and so on. But just as a sort of "catalog of pyramids" alone (and there turns out to be MUCH more to it than only that) this book is stunning. The book is printed expensively on large (8 by 10 inch) glossy paper. There are photographs, aerial photographs, maps, pictures taken inside pyramids, reproductions of murals, and so on. What a treat. Somebody put an enormous amount of work into this. But all of that is only the wrapping paper. What comes out of the box is REALLY something. You are in for a surprise even if you have already read Zecharia Sitchin, William Bramley, Graham Hancock, Colin Wilson, and so on. In fact, having already read those only sets you up for the really big wallop when you read this one. If you have already read this topic, but then miss this book, it would be such a sad irony. This is the one where it all finally comes spilling out. Surprised me. I figured this business was unknowable beyond a certain point, and it is - but that point is not located where I thought it was. I certainly did not expect this much would come out during my lifetime if ever. I am curious that so many reviewers here gave the book such bad marks for supposedly being poorly written. Based on that information, I was expecting the book to be a horrible mess, but such was not the case at all. There are a few typos, and an informal English is used (about like what I am using here), but that is all. Wayne Herschel is from South Africa and he apparently speaks in a certain way because of that. If you and I disagree about something, I would say that your opinion is different from my opinion, but Wayne Herschel would say that your opinion is different to mine. So, he uses the word "to" in cases where we might expect the word "from" to be. And so on. There are a number of things like this in the book, but I found the book to be nicely written and in an enjoyable style - and even if this book was written in bad English I would by no means want to miss out on the information in it. Not for that or for any other reason. I would give this book more than 5 stars if the system here allowed for it. On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate this book to be at maybe 15 or 20. Don't miss out. A great deal of seemingly unknowable information has come to be known. And so "off the scale" is not an unreasonable rating.

Read it and draw your own conclusion

By far a very thorough and intelligent read. I could not put it down. The evidence that pyramids all over earth from a lost epoch of man align to specific star clusters is overwhelming in my opinion. Doesn't take a PhD to realize that if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... chances are it's a duck. Everthing is presented via full color images and in an easy to comprehend format. It has changed my perspective and at the same time answered many questions for me personally; and of course will raise many more! An absolute must read!

A new and iconoclastic analysis of coded information presented in ancient or prehistoric structures

"The Hidden Records: The Star of the Gods" is a new and iconoclastic analysis of coded information presented in ancient or prehistoric structures such as the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, and the ancient edifices of both the Americas. Wayne Herschel presents in vast and colorful detail his painstaking conclusions after many years of study of these diverse 'star-maps' of antiquity. Many color photographs and illustrations help to document his many findings, some of which are shattering to established or conventional science. Readers will want to follow this material closely as further evidence unfolds and is analyzed. The idea of ancient astronauts is perhaps not new; but the evidence is startling and convincingly presented. Profusely illustrated in color throughout, The Hidden Records is a welcome and recommended addition to personal and academic Metaphysical Studies collections, as well as supplemental reading lists in the fields of astronomy, mythology, and ancient history.

The case for the Pleiades

Hidden Records confounded this reviewer because the book is so poorly written -- yet demands attention. The writing is full of mispelled words, lousy grammar, and poor construction. Normally I would never recommend such a book; however, I am pleased to make an exception in this case, because the content is absolutely riveting. If Wayne Herschel's ideas about Giza, Abusir, Tikal, Teotihuacan, Angkor, and Stonehenge turn out to be correct, he will have pulled an amazing coup: proving that you don't need to own a PhD, in fact, don't even need to be able to write, in order to make an important contribution. The author makes a persuasive case for the central role of the Pleiades, the seven sisters, to the ancient world. I was especially impressed with Herschel's discovery of a scaling rule which, if true, establishes the pyramids of Abusir as even more important than the better known pyramids of Giza. He quite convincingly shows that the leg of the Bull, the central astronomical symbol in the zodiac of Denderah, refers to the Pleiades -- rather than to the Dipper, the standard interpretation. His decipherment of a related star map at Cydonia, on Mars, is nothing less than mindboggling. Astronomers should point their sophisticated telescopes and hardware in the direction of Herschel's mystery star to prove or disprove his theories. And let's get on with it. We need answers now! The story of human origins has languished in the dark for too long.

Exciting!

Sometimes we have to "Think Outside the Box" to make progress down a path that has been slow over the years to interpret. This is a very handsome book with many pictures and diagrams that make it easy to follow the concept. No doubt it will be controversial! If the wonder of the world's megaliths has ever intrigued you, I recommend you read this book. With this author's concept, I believe he has shown, through, mathematics, scrolls, cuneiform tablets, and astrology, how they are similar and all point in the same direction! I found this book very thought-provoking and compelling. I like thinking for myself! AND, there are even more surprises covered in the book.
