DNF at 7 out of 18 hours in audiobook version. The author has a tremendous tendency to repeat himself and mention things that he will apparently go into further detail later in the book, which gives no context as to why it was important mentioning it at that point. The book was like listening to an overly convoluted travel log with a little history and a great deal of heavily repeated supposition thrown in.
I used to be more impressed by this book, but as I learned more it became clear how much was distorted or even completely fabricated. I suppose you could still get some entertainment out of it, as long as you remember it's a work of fiction.

Hancock misunderstands and misinterprets everything. This book is fatuous idiocy.
Reading his books is like watching Ancient Aliens. (I always as why I am reading one of his books, AGAIN!). There is some science in there, but it always goes off the rails. I did like the first part of the book, which was about ancient maps and folklore. That was interesting.
