From the Ashes of Angels: The Forbidden Legacy of a Fallen Race

i am a researcher who relies mainly on Sitchin for history of the origin of man. this book does not contradict Sitchen. Collins has researched one of the groups of anunnaki that went to different areas in what is commonly called 'the diaspora', when anunnaki went to different places in the world to develop a higher culture there. my personal study at this time is of the groups of lesser anunnaki known as the igigi , some of which were individuals very different from humans who were not compatible to hibridize with them. there is very little information about these groups and it seems that they went to different areas of the earth, where archaeology now documents their presence as long as it lasted, Collins presented information that documented the presense of an odd type of being that i have not found other information about anywher else, this is a tall conehead type with exaggerated features found in a great many statues, which a number of authors 'on the speaking circuit' have claimed to be demons or reptilians, despite the fact that many statues depict females nursing babies, which seems to me makes them mammals. i think otherigigi broups are the Olmecs which may have had a 'three standard deviations on the bell curve' DNA similarity with humans and produced very few viable offspring, and lived in areas where many statues of males holding babiesare found. a third area of unique individuals i believe were an igigi group is the Paraas area conehead mummies, which include a number of babies. mtDNA found in genetic tests show no relationship to eath humans.it should be clear by now tthat i have abook in the works, and this book gave me a lot of imformation that i did not find in the thoudans of dollars of Amazon books i have that gave me bits and pieces that helped me to form a picture of history that has not been documented in depth elsewhere.as a writer i could possibly try to justify not capitalizing in my reviews to a broken thumb, but the fact is my typing was worse befoer it broke, and if Amazon wanted proper capitalization in these reviews, they would have put that feature in the program for these text blocks..Collins is often cited in reviews as presenting unique information, and this is an example of some of it.the reason for 4 stars instead of five is that at some point the chapters seemed to go on to topics that were not needed and did not seem to further enlarge the previous information. many people find his books get a bit boring toward the end, and

Wow. The efforts the author put forth to look at ancient history, and where our ideas about religion came from, is heroic. There is no stone left unturned to figure out why early society believed in angels, fallen or otherwise, or "Watchers". I am half way through this book and find myself looking forward to times I have set aside to absorb all the knowledge (and theories) presented here. I have learned a lot about the history of the Middle East, and Kurdistan in particular. Excellent book, highly recommended

Andrew Collins is a courageous man...for decades conspiracy researchers have speculated that Mankind's true history has been hidden -- everything from Atlantis and Lemuria to the true nature of the Nefelim and Elohim referenced in the Bible. Modern scientists will scoff at this, but of course a conspiracy theorist would counter that their Rockefeller-derived academic experience may have had a few holes in it. History is written by the Winners, edited by the Masters of War, and kept from the People, as it always has been. So using something called "psychic archaeology" (where psychics don't tell him what happened in the past, but rather where to look for hard archaeological evidence). The scope of this book is staggering and eye-popping, much like "The Book Of Enoch" which is the central source of the story Collins relates. It may read like science fiction, but it dovetails with so much other research from so many different directions that it has to be taken seriously. In my opinion, it is the one book that puts it all together. Myself, I have been following this story since the 70s, and have written a novel revolving around the same ideas Collins presents. "From the Ashes of Angels" is an amazing book for the general reader with an open mind, and it will open the door to a hundred other books, many of considerable scholarship, which will rewrite what we thought about history and who we think we are as a species. A simply brilliant achievement, and the culmination of a life's work of scholarship. See his website [...] for more info...

This volume is written in a scholarly manner, which I appreciated, and is extremely interesting. The author appears extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter and appears to make certain assumptions about the reader's familiarity with the subject. But prior to reading this book, I knew virtually nothing about Middle Eastern religions and had difficulty following some of his reasoning. Maybe that's just my own failing (but I do have a Master's degree). I recommend potential readers with Kindles get a sample first and read it carefully.

I would rate this book a five on information and a one on its structure. I'm reading it now for the second time, and having just as much trouble as the first. There is just so much in here, and too much is, I think, rendered in the main text rather than being subjugated as footnotes. The result is a loss of integrity due to these diversions in the text which, at least on my part, leads to confusion.Too many tangents! There is just so much in this book, so many interesting ideas and conceptions and a wealth of history that despite the difficulty I am pursuing it with vigor and writing my own chapter summaries and marginal notes. I would most certainly recommend this book to those interested in this subject, but be warned that it is hard-going. If the authors happen to read this review I would ask them to please, please, write chapter summaries as does Graham Phillips!

The mythological part is fascinating...here is an exploration of a very controversial and obscure myth.I also noted that the author's line of reasoning steps short of the absurdities of Von Daniken and the likes (except for the ludicrous paragraph in which he implies that "a face that shine like the sun " means that the Fallen Angels used total UV protection creams.Gimme a break!Has Andrew Collins ever heard of metaphors and poetic exaggerations? ) I was somewhat disappointed when the Author mentions the Maya and piramidology,and when he shifts to New Age themes. Still,I found it a worthy read and a very interesting speculation.

Fabulous book. Thought provoking.
