Food for thought

Impossible for the lay reader to evaluate the probability that Allegro's thesis is correct. The author states up front that he has invented Sumerian words ("not yet found in the records") to support his theory, that a psychedelic mushroom cult is the fundament out of which came Judeo-Christianity. There is a lot of interesting, non-speculative etymology, but upon reaching the end of the book, the reader is left wondering what, if any, part of Allegro's theory holds water. A worthwhile book for people with a linguistic bent, but still awaiting archaeological confirmation.
Thought provoking
