There is no structure or plan to the book, it randomly lists events, ideas, history, beliefs and any trivia related to paganism. It mentions Viking dildos, Hitler's secret Antarctic base where he escaped after WW2 and many crazier things that I have already forgotten.

I can't decide if I like this book or not, but in any event, it is stuffed full of interesting information and some "funny stuff".

Vast quantities of information about prehistoric life and artifacts. Not overly technical, but not so simplified that it is useless.
