I am a big fan of it but do not take the book uncritically. Everything in the book is somewhere between simplified and incorrect. It is still very useful challenging of conventional wisdom for all of history. It ties everything together too neatly but neatness has some benefits. It makes your own think more solid and makes you question everything.
- thewhitetulip 10y agoTrue, we should never take anything uncritically but the book is so well written and does make a few points. We say our ancestors were technologically weak, so how are there edificies like machu pichu, pyramids of Egypt etc
