    About this audiobook

    An investigation into the historical and archaeological evidence of demons, curses, and possession, featuring some of the most gruesome artifacts and sites ever discovered

    Demons, jinn, possession, sinister artifacts, and gruesome archaeological discoveries haunt this new book by Dr. Heather Lynn. Evil Archaeology investigates the archaeological record for artifacts and evidence of evil entities, revealing how demons from the ancient world may be dwelling among us. It also looks at the history and lore behind real relics believed to be haunted and includes historical accounts of demonic possession that go as far back as King Solomon invoking demons to help him build his famed temple.

    Is there really a prehistoric fertility goddess figure that has been known to bring death to the families of anyone who holds it? Are there real vampire graveyards? Can the archaeological record prove the existence of demons and malevolent entities?

    Some tantalizing questions Evil Archaeology addresses include:

    - What is the origin of demons?

    - What role did Sumerian demons play in the development of civilization?

    - Are curses real?

    - Can material objects contain evil? What about places?

    - What can we do to protect ourselves, according to historical records?

    - Was Jesus an exorcist?

      Entertaining. Most of the book is a 3 star at best but the last chapter took me by surprise for its depth and insight. Obviously this was meant for a broad audience, so watch for crude oversimplifications.
      The tone is a bit weird, I cannot say whether it was written tongue in cheek, or seriously by a easily impressed person with poor choice of friends. Either way this should be more enjoyable for a religious listener with an open mind, than for a more sceptical person.
      Narration is good.

      Stop saying ibid. It means nothing in an audio book

      Very sensationalist with a lot of historical inaccuracies, unfounded connections, and conjecture.
    • 5/5
      This was the very first audiobook I finished completely because I couldn't stop listening. I found the reader to be very easy to listen to and the topics she touched upon fascinating and opens up different possibilities to the demonic. I recommend this to anyone who is beginning to explore demonology and even if you have already started your journey.
