The book 19,000 Years of World History by Prithviraj R is an exceptional book filled with knowledge. I cannot believe all of the research the author had to do to put this truly amazing book together.

The author used past history and scriptures from many religions to help bring together the history of man in twenty-one chapters. Not only that, findings from beliefs, linguistics, cultural practices and more are used to tie man's history altogether.

19,000 Years of World History starts out with some fascinating facts about different cultures and religions. For instance, have you ever wondered how religions started? Here is an excerpt from the book on how Buddhism was borne:

"There was a mighty drought of three hundred years around
2200 BC (Before Christ), spanning India, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and
other regions. Buddhism was born out of the despondency of this
drought. People suffered so much that they lost all faith in a
compassionless, useless God and converted to Buddhism in large
Numbers."

Do you know how many languages are spoken in the world today? I was stunned when I read it is 449 languages! Not only that but the 449 languages share vocabulary and language structures. It is fascinating to learn in the book,19000 Years of World History, how things seem different in other countries from your own yet somehow all tie in together.

A timeline with events that have happened in our past is very helpful to outline what has previously taken place in our history.

Information about different religions is given to help you understand how they started and what they are all about. Once reading this, you will easily understand all of the remarkable information throughout the book.

I sincerely learned so much from this detailed book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about his or her roots, the person who is a history buff, the person who enjoys reading and learning about religion and the person that wants to learn more about history and religion.

I also think this book would be fantastic for all college students on the planet to read in one of their credit classes. I would like for high school students to read this book, but since we cannot really teach about religion in schools, (in the United States of America) I am not sure if this book would be able to be read, taught and tested on. I think this book would help people to understand each other better on their beliefs as well.
