review: Editorial Reviews From the Publisher The Hopi are an ancient people. Their oral history describes events, like the shifting of the earth's poles, that scientists say took place eons ago... Their famed predictions of the future have been incredibly accurate, and go well beyond what can be explained in present-day terms. From the Author I found a remarkable similarity between the cultures of Japan's original inhabitants, the Caucasoid Ainu, and the Hopi, despite the fact that racially the Hopi are Oriental. I believe this indicates a cultural commonality among all ancient people regardless of their race.
