"Rediscover a continent's lost pre-history here. The United States is today a global icon for all that is new and forward looking - and this is regrettable, as Devereux points out, that so many of its modern inhabitants and some of its scholars are ignorant of the awesome sweep of its ancient past, or deny it. I can heartily recommend Mysterious Ancient America as a perfect remedy for that omission. The FT verdict: 9 out of 10". So said Bob Rickard, Editor `Fortean Times' in March 2003 edition"To understand archaic Aztec cosmology, a European thinker has to cross what is probably the widest intellectual gap conceivable between one human mind and another. Holy smoking mirrors! Paul Devereux, only you can help us now. We need to listen to the tribal world voice and this [Mysterious Ancient America] is a book which will tell us how." From Jeremy Harte in `Third Stone' No. 45, 2003
