Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Title is extremely misleading
This is very good book if you're looking for a quick history of trade and exploration of the New World prior to the entrance of Columbus on the world stage. If you're looking for anything remotely referencing of Templar Knights in the New World, this book doesn't even come close.

It's time for serious archaeological study of this structure. The only place that the authors get off topic is in chapter 12 where they try to ... Read More
Rating:  - for those with ears to hear, listen!
Disregard the flippant quote from the 1 star reviewer, who obviously is emotionally biased since they failed to even read it and instead found something canned on the web to post there to discredit it. Interestingly that negative reviewer has only reviewed two books ever, the one above rated negatively and another templar book rated entirely positively because it is called more "empirical". Well, on that criteria, the negative reviewer should love this book, if they ever read it instead of simply copy/paste ... Read More
