I think it's a intriguing look into the beliefs of former inhabitants of earth and their unshaken commitment to honouring them. The Midas Touch starts off being a little tedious as it delves into the human race's rich history and keeping a focus through the tales proves challenging but the 'world mythology' definitely concludes with some popular civilisations' past, casting light into our present, and projects into our future. I would recommend it to anyone who'd want to have a well-rounded knowledge as to how we have certain customs and attributions we hold dear to this day. It's so damn detailed and it's got a pretty dope cover!
