Critics Review
“Recent archaeological discoveries in the Altai Mountains of Siberia have revealed the existence of a unique human population known today as the Denisovans. They reached their height around 60,000-70,000 years ago and possessed advanced technologies that may well have contributed to the rise of civilization. Geoffrey Ashe, in his own fascinating quest of discovery, provides compelling evidence that the Altai Mountains are indeed the cradle of human civilization as well as the true Eden of the East.” * Andrew Collins, author of The Cygnus Key and Göbekli Tepe *
“In Eden in the Altai, Geoffrey Ashe brings a broad base of perspectives to bear on his thesis that the archaic Goddess tradition, closely linked to shamanism, took its origins in the Altai Mountain region of Asia. He does a very good job of contrasting competing historical, geographical, and religious viewpoints as he makes his case.” * Laird Scranton, author of Decoding Maori Cosmology and The Mystery of Skara Brae *
