In a first of its kind attempt, this book constructs human history from the scriptures of various religions including Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, and other religions and cultures. Conclusions are drawn and connected to the various archaeological findings, linguistics, worldwide conflagrations, beliefs, cultural practices including festival celebrations, local legends, etc. In a complete rewrite of current history books, the book meticulously constructs a detailed history of civilized man, 19000 years in the making. The book, written in an easy to read prose for any educated person, attempts to take the reader closer to his/her roots than any history book has ever done. For the first time, the book shows the precise way in which the religions of Vaishnavism, Saivism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity were born. The lost religious and cultural history is unearthed.

”19000 Years of World History: The Story of Religion” is an excellent easy to read book that constructs a historical timeline for man as seen from the perspective of several different religions. The book exposes many similarities between the religions through its exploration of archeology, history, and geography. The author has obviously researched these subjects extensively and has presented it in this comprehensive book for everyone to read.
This book should not be rushed, but rather like a fine wine should be enjoyed and savored chapter by chapter. Everyone from the historian, to the religious enthusiast, to the mildly curious will enjoy reading this book. There is something new to learn on every page which keeps the reader interested and thirsting for more.
The following is the review received from Foreword Clarion Reviews:
In this encyclopaediac volume, Prithviraj has made a far-reaching study of numerous topics, including world religions and their beginnings, linguistics, biology, genetics, anthropology, archeology and geology. The tone is conversational and personal—as if the writer were giving a lecture to 6 billion people about their origins...author has incorporated massive amounts of knowledge and research here.
