Source book for real history!

This is a must for anyone interested in the beginnings of anything! I understand Waddell was out of favor at one time (maybe even now) because of his criticism of Assyriologist obstruction of Sumerian research. But you must read about the origins of St George (of Merry England -- and Cappadocia)and his Trojan, Ancient Brits, Sumerians and, and -- wow all you want to know about early civilization! Those Sumerians! They went everywhere, Waddell explains, and left their marks everywhere -- but not as Sumerians because they became assimilated into where ever they were -- just like they went into America and Australia, and Scandinavia and virtually the world! They were the original long-distance ocean crossers! Just read it!
