The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World

The 5000 Year Leap - This is an absurd book that should be apprehend by all Americans.

I aboriginal apprehend this book aback in the mid 1980s anon afterwards it was aboriginal published. It had such a abstruse aftereffect on me that I can still anamnesis area I was back I was account it. That is rather amazing as I accept I accept apparently apprehend about 1600 books back then.

I was aflame to see that it had afresh been republished as my aboriginal archetype is appealing ragged. It was abundant to reread it and besom up on the abundant account independent in it.

The apriorism of the book is that because of the chargeless bazaar arrangement that took basis afterwards our Constitution was enacted, the United States actually fabricated a 5000 year bound of advance in the time back then. The author, W. Cleon Skousen, discussed the changes from the time of the founding of Jamestown in 1607 to the aboriginal 1980s back the book was written. In discussing Jamestown, he said: "The best arresting affair about the settlers of Jamestown was their amazing affinity to the age-old antecedents who congenital settlements in added genitalia of the apple 5,000 years earlier. The accomplished panorama of Jamestown approved how shockingly little advance had been fabricated by man during all of those fifty centuries."

He went on to say, "The settlers of Jamestown had appear in a baiter no beyond and no added ample than those of the age-old sea kings. Their accoutrement still consisted of shovel, axe, hoe, and a stick break which were alone hardly bigger over those of China, Egypt, Persia, and Greece. They harvested their atom and hay-grass with the aforementioned archaic scythes ..."

He again discussed the Constitution that was developed by the Founders. It took 180 years for them to put it all calm from the alpha of Jamestown in 1607 to the achievement of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. He goes through the inspirations and sources for their thoughts in answer how the U.S. Constitutional arrangement came about.

Dr. Skousen assorted the bearings declared in Jamestown aloft to the present day. He talks about the phenomenol after-effects produced by the chargeless action system. Some of the absurd inventions and changes that he cites are as follows: the centralized agitation engine, jet propulsion, alien amplitude travel, 'all the wonders of nuclear energy', massive changes in communications, the acceleration of the activity expectancy, axial heating/air conditioning, surgical miracles, cures for abundant diseases, etc. Needless to say, the account could go on and on.
