“...Interesting history of women and European culture... Author J.F. del Giorgio
has written a fascinating book that addresses the origins of the
European culture. In great depth, he discusses how women had strong roles early on. Women
inherited, men took their mother’s names and kings were chosen by whom the daughter of the
king married, not the son... Del Giorgio discusses the genetics and cultural ties between Basques,
Irish, Scots, Welsh, Celts, Scandinavians, Etruscans and Pelasgians... as the Indo-European culture
invaded Europe women actually began losing their status... I found this book to be very interesting
and informative. It is obvious that a great deal of research went into writing it... After reading
The Oldest Europeans, it is good to keep it as a reference book... I recommend this book to people
that are interested in their European ancestry, women's issues or students of ancient history.
You will find it fascinating...”
Paige Lovitt, Reviewer, ReaderViews.com
“... contains a wealth of information... a journey through prehistoric Europe...
It would be an understatement to say that reading this well-documented study about witchcraft, old religions, women’s rights,
our own stone roots, ancient European names, language, Greek mythology and history, ancient traditions such as the carnival,
Easter, Christmas, hallucinogens, religious rituals, river names, and many more topics is fascinating!... priceless insights into
European ancestry...”
Norm Goldman, Editor, BookPleasures.com
“This is a splendid piece of research combining all kind of sources to offer a plausible explanation to questions that remained
unsolved, until now. A book full of answers for those who wonder how was the world like when God was a woman, and men adored Her.
Time, History, Literature, Linguistics, archeological sites and DNA findings serve the author to take the reader, in a humorous
and daring manner, through unsuspected paths enlightening the odd nexus between such unlike characters as James Bond, Vikings and
today’s Basques. A finely polished amalgam of theories and research!”
Francesca Cordido, Journalist, Tecnogarden, Madrid
“This book examines who are the oldest people in Europe (who was there first) and how they differed from the later influx of Aryan/Indo- Europeans. It was the Basques and their progeny, the Celtic people and the Scandinavians who were there first... ... an interesting book for not only those interested in anthropology subjects, but for those interested in genealogy and DNA research.”
Bob Spear, Publisher and Chief Reviewer, Heartland Reviews
“...very interesting... unusually detailed information about ancient rituals, beliefs and its evolution into modern religion...”
L.E. Palacios, M.D., Author of "Autopsy of the Crucified One: a Medical History of the Crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth"
“A delightful read. History from a different perspective. Rarely does someone analyze the history of Europe from this angle...daring,
brazen, and more than anything else, REFRESHING!”
Kjeld J. Glittenberg, History Professor, Lincoln Schools, IB/AP Coordinator, Buenos Aires
“...with a simple language but with rigurous bibliographic revision, introduces the reader into our ancestors’ world...
extraordinary quality, easy reading and singular presentation...”
Josefina Trujillo, Caracas
“...a walk through different civilizations... entertaining and educative... keeps you impatient to reach next chapter... a professional
and funny way to introduce bibliography...”
