＂A madman’s task, this. An errand knight’s endeavor, a sorcerer’s conjuring of secrets from the depths of our memories ancient and sublime, stark and dark truths that do invert assumptions and paradigmatic presumptions proffered by the Official discourse; upending religious predispositions and such spells spun to lull the minds of the people to sleep; disturbing those subtle taboos surreptitiously existing between the lines which somehow prevent us from seeing the obvious stories of history; challenging, in fact, assumptions of which end is up and which is down in terms of the common paradigms proffered, indeed calling into question those constructions which purport to tell which direction is to ’heaven’ and which to ’hell.’＂

This ＂Madman’s task＂ amounts to the deconstruction of the Abrahamic religions and of the paradigm proffered by ＂the West＂ generally, and offers a radical reconsideration of ancient history and of the origins and transmission of language, religion and culture, globally. Indeed, the author contends that the Abrahamic paradigm and related discursive constructions have essentially turned the paradigm of the ancient ancestors ＂upside-down.＂

This volume begins with the theory that Abraham, the Father of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, was an apostate Hindu, originally derived from the Sanskrit ＂Abrahman,＂ and that the Judeo-Christian ＂Yahweh＂ is a refiguration of Deva Yama, Hindu Lord of Death and Hell, Judge of the Dead and Lord of the heaven realm known as the Pitrah-Loka (fathers’/ancestors’ realm), in concert with his priest and friend Yahva Agni, the God of Fire, ＂the sacrificer.＂ Archer then proposes the equally radical theory that Jesus Christ was an Avatar of Aadhi Maha Shasta, the Hindu Protector of Created Beings, the ＂only begotten Son＂ of Lord Shiva, God the Destroyer, and Lord Vishnu, God the Maintainer who is paramatma, the ＂Spirit of God＂ that abides in everyone’s heart, whether they realize it or no. Shasta was born this one time when Vishnu meditated intensely upon Shakti, the Goddess, to be enabled to turn into a Divine and fertile transsexual named Mohini in order to infiltrate the court of a demon that threatened the world. When Mahadeva (＂Great God＂) Shiva and Mohini (Vishnu manifest as a Goddess) met, the two ended up hooking up and Lord Shasta was consequently born, the first incarnation of many Avatars of Deva Aadhi Maha Shasta, one of whom may well have been Jesus Christ. Beyond these astounding contentions, this volume provides strong evidence that the ancient history of the movements of peoples, and especially in regard to the peopling of the Americas, is a very different story than the still too Eurocentric and Colonialist-minded establishment tells. Indeed, by these readings of ancient history and religion, the paradigm proffered by the Abrahamic religions has indeed turned the world ＂upside-down＂ in relation to the understandings of the ancients, understandings the author dubs ＂the Old Ways.＂
