It's been years since I read this book. bought it to read again and it has just been gathering dust, so thought i'd share.

may re-read in the interim!

basically, it discusses what was going on in the world outside of the history we're familiar with. there's lots of archeological evidence indicating that the role of women in ancient times may have been important, especially prior to invasions in Greece, where Aryans? men took over and shifted the then worship from female gods to male...
as well, there were societies worshiping women in the near and middle east, including many whom the biblical God decided to eliminate.
No agenda, just find it interesting to consider the archeological past and its potential influence on lives and culture
