Interesting details of Egypt Neteru but packaged in a PowerPoint format with too many sermonsBy BoulderReginaldThe format of an extended PowerPoint presentation being made directly into a book does not work - even with some editorial brushing over. The content is too much like sitting thru a PowerPoint meeting. The content is interesting in that it offers a good insight into the powers that were worshipped in Egypt for millennium and how the common person often saw their worship. I do not buy off on the pan-African message pushed none to subtly time and again nor the assertions that Sumeria and ancient Indian cultures were 'colonies' or heavily influenced by Egypt. Interesting content but it must be read with a large grain of salt and ignore the irritating sermonizing.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy BarbaraLove it a lot of helpful information6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. AwesomeBy TFB01Anything that shows or teaches of humanity's true story will be elevated by me. I'm a firm believer that the so called history taught in most schools is rife with falsities.
