Young Investigator’s Guide to
Ancient Aliens explores the controversial theory
that extraterrestrials have been visiting the earth for millions of years. The book has been beautifully organized in a
way that will entice any curious mind. The
choices of examples used as evidence of visitation are positively
well-thought-out and will appeal to most readers.
The content is divided into several sections: “The Basics” answers the questions of what the aliens look like, where they came from, and why. A visually explicit timeline helps readers understand the time frame. Colorful photographs also support the text in all sections of the book.
Part II is the evidence section in which readers learn about the findings of vast underground and underwater cities, pyramids, and crop circles. I found the discovery of a birdlike relic in a pyramid (Saqqua bird, which was later proven capable of flying) very thought-provoking.

Part III discusses aliens in our
time. Or are they just exceptional
persons? Readers will discover crystal
skulls with magical powers, legendary heroes like King Arthur and Joan of Arc,
and legendary monsters like the Loch Ness Monster, chimeras, The Kracken, and
Bigfoot.
Ancient astronaut theorists have
covered noteworthy examples from the Maoi on Easter Island to the long-suspected
extraterrestrial activity in the Dragon’s and Bermuda Triangles.
All in all, this will be a popular book in any library. It is well written and very informative. An index supports library research.
Summary: Young Investigator’s Guide
to Ancient Aliens explores the controversial theory that extraterrestrials
have visited the earth for millions of years.
