Confronted with science and speculation, Jim Marrs is uniquely able to blend both into new theories about the history of humankind and of the history of Earth. These theories can stretch the boundaries of previously held beliefs into a completely new way of thinking. Moreover, thinking is something that readers of “Our Occulted History” will be compelled to do.

I’ve always been open to alternate scenarios concerning how we came to be on Earth and how humankind developed into who or what we are now. Marrs gathered his information from a variety of sources and seamlessly combined it into blocks of manageable, discussion-worthy sections. While I frequently found it daunting to  try and read a whole chapter in one sitting, these sections allowed me to read and absorb the ideas put forth easily.

Presenting science and mythology from ancient times through modern days brings an unclear, mysterious past into focus. Yes, conspiracy theories abound, and Marrs is at the forefront of exploring them. However, this book makes so much sense that it is hard to imagine the most doubting of Thomases not stopping in his tracks to think twice about the nature of reality on Earth and of the people who reside here. Were we seeded here by intelligent beings? Does this negate the theory of evolution? Where does religion and God factor into all this? It’s up to each of us to decide what we believe and what we don’t. How spectacular that so much information is packed into one well-researched book that is complete with a chapter-by-chapter index of sources.
