Irish Wisdom Preserved in Bible and Pyramids (ISBN 1564597547)

More factual than a public school history class:
Is the premise of this book true? Probably not. Is the premise of The DaVinci Code true? Probably not. Is the premise of the Bible true? There is question. Still, people read The DaVinci Code and the Bible and don't get called names. The Irish at one time were the absolute center of learning on this humble planet. Then, the British conquered Ireland and for 500 years the Irish were more severely beaten down than either the African American slaves or the Jews. So, with that in mind, is the premise of this book possible? Well......yes. Likely? No. Possible? Yes. At the very worst, this is a wonderful read, especially for those who read Dan Brown, or Robert Anton Wilson, or Neal Wilgus. If it isn't absolutely true, perhaps it should be.

Rebuttal to Mr. Barnaby's review:
It's hard to break through the mind control, brain washing, and programming that has guided the thoughts and actions of us all, as exemplified by the complete hostile dismissal of this tome described in Mr. Barnaby's review. If one cannot even consider anything beyond that which has been robotically implanted in our minds as being reality, then that is truly tragic. We are programmed to understand our world in a distorted limited way--as is our families, friends, communities, countries, cultures, etc... If one can't muster the courage to smash that programming to smitherines, then one is more likely to generate a review such as that generated by Mr. Barnaby. So be it for the spineless brain-washed who believe they know it all.

Paranoia gone wild:
It's not often I say this of another human being, but this poor man is a certified lunatic. I had to read it twice to confirm in my own mind the dementedness of MacDari. Apparently when he wrote it, archeology was not very advanced.... is all I can think. MacDari is of the opinion that the Irish were responsible for every discovery, invention, building, religion, in the whole world, and that the Irish are the originator of the "Hebrew" language, Sanskrit, Sumerian, and every other language known. Jesus and the ancient Israelites (jews) never existed and all historians, theologians, or scholars are frauds and have written a fake history for thousands of years for fear we will find out all the truths about the Irish. Oh, the Irish colonized India, Egypt, and the Americas with their Sun religion. Also they built the pyramids all over the world. And never mind evidence showing the Kelts traveled west across Europe, he alleges instead they migrated from the west to the east and so on and that they had been in Ireland for thousands of years. I can't go on describing this madness. You will have to read it yourself.

AN OUTRAGEOUS GLEEFUL IRISH BULL OF THE HIGHEST ORDER:
err, don't tell anyone that I told you. it's a joke, folks, in the fine tradition of the Irish Bull, strictly tongue in cheek, and this one in the most glorious style! Even James JOyce's Ulysses is mostly IRish Bull, and he explicitly stated that he hoped all those somber scholars tearing it apart would realize how gloriously FUNNY it truly is. Same with Fran O'Brian's Third Policeman, etc., or Samuel Beckett. The funniest writing ever told, like tales made up late at night around a stingy turf fire with a cuicksheen laun passed about, and the jug of water. Please give this book to a loved one so that they may laugh out loud in the greatest pain. Of course it is true that Ireland is the most ancient and constant source of all wisdom, authority and beauty and art, as constant as the amazon, as rich and multi-faceted as this our own dear amazon. Read Ulysses or Finnegans (sic) Wake and see how firmly James Joyce keeps tongue in cheek. Read Beckett's Mercier et Comier, or Murphy, and struggle not to laugh. Read this and don't let anyone else catch on: it is a joke. Now have you heard how Saint Brendan discovered America, and went on to Christianize the Aztecs, deliver pin-up calendars and star maps to the Maya, convert the Inca and taught them anti-seismic stone architecture, and set up up gloriously red-headed gigantic heads on Easter Island? Such tall tales were the only way to preserve dignity, pride and identity as a people under the unthinkable oppression of the British colonial Penal Code, etc., which sought to wipe us out as a people, a culture, a language, a religion, a history, a holocaust absolute in every way. It is so deceitfully clever and mock serio-comic as a means to deceive that very oppressor and the Empire's ever present spies, enforcers and informers. Read the relevant history if you doubt this, or read Ulysses, and wonder at Kelleher and Cunningham. Our African Americans of the 1800's similarly spoke in code and employed tall tales. And if you incomprehensibly or spitefully find this review UNHELPFUL, kindly explain to me your reasoning how and why in the comments section, so that I might amend both my ways and my writing.
