I posted some thoughts on that book here on ISS years ago...and sorry...absolutely not a fan.
I think it's the biggest piece of a-priori rubbish I have read in quite some time.
There is nothing masterful about this book except perhaps the politically correct BS that masks "stories" and a sheer lack of scientific method as viable science.
P.S. I think Les Dalrymple (rest his soul) summed up this tripe up best when he wrote this on IIS.....
"
The findings in the book generally lack scientific rigour. One example: As Peter noted there is nothing in any aboriginal oral tradition or sky legend in relation to the supernovae of 185AD, 1006, 1054, and 1604 that all would have been very prominent sky events in the southern hemisphere. There are however oral traditions in relation to the eruption of Eta Carinae about 180 years ago which is a very recent event in context arguing powerfully for the unreliability of oral traditions past a few generations as a primary source of actual history. They are so very easy to artificially re-construct if the narrative demands it.
"A Priori " -- very much so."
