When Rocks Cry Out (English Edition) Paperback – September 11, 2009

I was told to read this book by a female who loves history like I do and had Mexican roots. She said this book is one of the best book she has ever read. I immediately wrote the book down and the name of the author and put it on a list of books to check out because I value her opinion. Interestingly enough that same month I heard a few blog talk radio interviews with the author Horace Butler. I was blown away, sad and happy at the same time. Sad because so much history was not being taught and was not known, happy because it was coming out and someone found it and cared to bring it to the masses. After hearing Horace Butler's interviews I immediately made the book a priority to read for re-education purposes. I was thrown off a little because the book is not written like most history and research books, it was like a written movie. That's the best thing he could have done. Your imagination is sparked, and its like you have a reality TV show camera over the shoulder of the author, there with him as he finds every clue, trail and moment of clarity and realization. As I continue to read the book, after every chapter I had to stop, with eyes wide open and eyebrows up, I put the book down and just stare at the cover, because I was shocked, and in awe about what I was reading and discovering in When Rocks Cry Out. Every chapter of discovery can be a book or epic movie by itself, literally. So many things was put in between each chapter so subtly that you have to re-read it again. Without ruining any surprises, the reader of the book will get re-educated on the Aztecs, ancient Mexicans, Moors in the Americas, where events in the Old Testament of the Bible and The Exodus event actually happen, ancient Egyptians being in the Americas before the eastern Africa region, what the Egyptians called the Americas, where Jerusalem really is, learn about the Israelites and Hebrews journey in the Americas, ancient wars and so much that happen in the Americas first and was documented by the ancient ones who preserved it for all to find and much, much more. How did we miss it? You will be asking why this has never been taught in school or brought forward by other authors, researchers, lecturers and archaeologists in detail. Is this the many secrets being unveiled that are being guarded by the so called secret societies? By the time I was done, I realized this book is one of the best books I have ever read and you just want to tell all you know about it. I will never, never forget what I have read, what the author has done for humanity in putting history, the biblical narratives (as the author calls it) into perspective, in the western part of the planet. Those thousands of years of history in the Americas about dark, melanated Africans in the Americas is profound. One of the best books every written that I have read, and I have read plenty. I strongly suggest people all over the world read it, cherish it and share it with their friends, families, neighbors, everyone. It is mind blowing what you will read and discover. After purchasing the book seek out the author's Facebook page and the Facebook page for the book itself.

Prepare to be enlightened, challenged, and inspired by this masterful work.

I must say that when I first began to listen to Mr. Butler via blog talk radio shows I was excited. I was still not sure to accept it though because no one else that I know of is saying the exact same things. I finally bought "When Rocks Cry Out", and was amazed. I recommend this book for anyone, even if you are not 100% in agreement with all of Mr. Butler's conclusions. I support him and his work anyway. We need more African centered or African American scholars writing books and sharing their wisdom with us. Mr. Butler actually brings to you, from his 12 or more years of research, works that have been available for years. He brings a fresh new perspective via helping you understand that the bible and information about Egypt was redirected to make us think that it was referring to something and someone else. He has some ancient maps that unfortunately are not in the book but can be found with a little effort, such as the Waldseemuller Map, the Puttinger Map can help and others.The author starts from the standpoint of the Spanish Exploration of the Americas. The author then labors to show you that the biblical events took place in the Americas which is why much, if anything, has not been found in modern day Palestine. He shows us an article excerpt from Margreet Steiner entitled, "It's Not There", in regards to Jerusalem being in Palestine. She, along with scholars such as Thomas L. Thompson, Philip R. Davies, Niels Peter Lemche, and even Israel Finkelstein (to some extent), will help you understand that "Palestine" as we know it today, is not adding up to the archaeological record as we may have heard. The author also states that Egypt began in the West as early as 23,000 years before Alexander the Great and that the monuments over in the Egypt at the east of Africa are actually talking about events that took place in the Egypt of the west which is the Americas (Mexico, Central America, and South America). I don't want to spoil it for you, but if you do your homework, you will find this to be so. He describes the biblical Exodus as really an African civil war where the Africans called Hebrews were taking the Africans called Egyptian cities in the Americas. He shows you the "real" route of the Exodus, which is why there is a scholarly consensus, currently, that the Exodus never happened. Some of the Africans called Egyptians eventually after the Exodus, and escaped to the East side of Africa to build that second Egypt as we know it today. The Africans called Egyptians eventually came back to the Americas to take back their city-states that they had lossed. So, the author, takes the position that the ancestors sailed from Africa, to come to the Americas and establish the empire that became known as Egypt, and some of them later went to the Northeastern side of Africa to establish the Egypt of the East. Scholars, preachers, and even some Afro-centric scholars ran from him while not confirming his discoveries. To date, no one has been able to refute them either. Later, I began to understand why he began to stand alone. The rocks were crying out what happened and where those things happened. Just because he was left by others, doesn't make him wrong. Please test his material. Well worth it.Some of the authorities that were used in the writing of this book includes Heinrich Brugsch-Bey, James Henry Breasted, Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge, and Adolf Erman (Egyptologists.) Some of the ancient historians that were used in the writing of this book include Flavius Josephus and Herodotus. He uses very good Spanish sources, especially some hard to find, but with effort they are obtainable. He also used Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, and Basil Davidson. What if it is indeed true that the biblical events took place in a completely different landscape and area? What if, through clever ploys, the so called "Middle East" today is a modern creation which was hyped up by various people to keep you from finding out that these phantom places didn't exist in the ancient world? What if the "real" names and places and events happened primarily in Mexico, Central and South America? I think that the author does an excellent job of demonstrating such. I recommend that you not just read this book, but study it by checking the sources, regardless of how long it takes you to not only find them, but also read them. The ancient records that he speaks of will indeed show you that he is right.I do hope that he continues writing books by placing the further information that he spoke of on the blog talk radio shows. You can listen to his online radio interview appearances via jeditalkradio, know the ledge, occult science radio, which are all shows that you can connect to by scrolling through the archives via blogtalkradio and even YouTube. This little book, is so full of information, that you must study when reading it. Get the sources, check his information, test it. After reading this book, I had to put others' works down. He will change the way you see the past.

Gave me a different perspective on history taught in school.

Dissapointing, author seems more interested in being accepted then doing rigorious research.

I am a Dinka man from East Africa, this clear so much about my people & traditional customs. I’m still amazed how us & other Nilotic practise scarification on the forehead in honour of mighty fighting force in Cusco Peru. I get it now why we stillHave them customs. It defeats the lie we were misguided that it was white people that made us do it yet they arrive recently. My perspective on history is dramatically changed by this book. I found my people in ancient Americas… maybe you could tooEvery time I read it for the past 8 years I point something outI rushed to see the citation to get a greater understanding of what the author is enlightening us. My perspective on life changes I get why the black & brown across the world are the one suffering the most today.History is essential which is why it’s taught in all educational institutions. When I first heard about how the French government banned the teachings of west Africans ancient history across 14 countries under French colonialism at education levels & homes, with the threat of anyone who speak about them will get murdered. Meanwhile on the east Africa of Africa British colonialists brought in their educational system and starting the Africans history with their arrival to us in 1900s. I was furious when I return home and seeing the miseducation being feed to our children’s. When rocks cry out” bring forth the histories most African tribes knew despite the Europeans manipulation of the world map & rearranging fame cities. The author put forward this excellent forgotten knowledge about America’s. We should be forever be grateful for his courageous to bring times-less revelations to us. Not only do the black & brown community need “when rocks cry out” but the rest of the world needs “WRCO” they all been misinformed.I wished in the near future we see the change in educational systems correcting their misinformed history. Get “when rocks cry out” now… don’t wait another 500 years or more

Really good book

I applaud anyone who writes a book, so he got 2 stars for effort.The author bases many of his conclusions on loosely interpreted findings, like.... a souvenir shop in New Orleans? Adding and subtracting letters from words to shoehorn them into a "similar" sounding word to show a connection between groups of people? How many trips to Egypt? How many digs? Where are the footnotes????If you are interested in the monolith building lost civilisation research genre, read "Finger Prints of the Gods" or "Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilisation" by Graham Hancock.THAT'S how you craft an argument. Look at the source material, 1,000s of footnotes, drawing from hundreds of sources, experts, interviews, author-led digs and dives, in dozens of countries where Graham visited over years whilst putting together the book.
