Bestselling Archeology Author Defies
Evolutionists
Did ancient astronauts visit earth in bygone ages?
Did human beings exist on earth tens of millions of years ago? Are the
Egyptian pyramids older than archeologists say? People around the world
are fascinated by such questions and books on these topics top the archeology
lists of Amazon.com and other Internet booksellers, leaving volumes of
mainstream archeology in the dust.
Meanwhile, mainstream archeologists lament the fact
that people can't seem to get enough of 'cult archeology.' They also go
to great lengths to discredit them. However, cult archeologists, who encompass
alternative perspectives from both physical and metaphysical science, claim
that mainstream archeologists are prisoners of their own outdated theories,
and that they suppress evidence that goes against them.
Science researcher and author Michael Cremo is radically
transforming the consensus on human evolution with his 900-page book Forbidden
Archeology (Torchlight Publishing, co-authored with Richard Thompson),
which ranks at the very top of internet bookseller Amazon.com's list of
75 anthropology and archeology best sellers.
The May 1999 launch of The Hidden History of the
Human Race (Torchlight Publishing), an abridged paperback edition of
Forbidden Archeology, at the Book Exhibitors of America Convention during
April 30---May 2, promises to popularize the heated contention generated
in academic circles by Forbidden Archeology into the arena of the mass
media.
Reactions to Forbidden Archeology range from
glowing praise ...
"One of the landmark intellectual achievements of
the late 20th century" Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the
Gods.
to caustic ridicule ...
"Your book is pure humbug and does not deserve to
be taken seriously by anyone but a fool" Richard Leakey, Anthropologist
Mr. Cremo's book has certainly turned the heads of
the Scientific Establishment. After NBC's Mysterious Origins of Man
television special aired in 1995, Academia exploded in protest, lobbying
the FCC to ban NBC and its sponsors from the airwaves. However, it is significant
that censorship attempts failed to prevent the first program of its kind
from broadcasting alternative views on human evolution via a major television
network.
World renowned as a 'truth in science advocate'
and leading authority on anomalous archeological evidence relating to the
origin of the human race, Mr. Cremo has also received numerous favorable
academic reviews from mainstream scholars in publications such as British
Journal for the History of Science, Journal of Field Archeology, Social
Studies of Science, Antiquity, and others. In January 1999 he presented
a paper at the Fourth World Archeological Congress in Capetown, South Africa
entitled "Forbidden Archeology of the Early and Middle Pleistocene: Evidence
for Physiologically and Culturally Advanced Humans." Following this was
a lively debate on a popular South African radio talk show with Ron Clarke,
discoverer of a new australopithecus skeleton at Sterkfontein.
Sparking controversy as he tours the globe, Michael
Cremo illuminates our 'hidden history' with case after case of well documented
scientific evidence suggesting that modern man has existed for millions
of years. His recent five-country tour included a site design for the "Forbidden
Archeology" exhibit at the multimillion dollar "Glory of India" project
in New Delhi, India; a featured appearance at "The Masterpiece of Creation"
Conference in Budapest, Hungary; a lecture at the Royal Geographical Society
in London on April 10; and a media blitz through Poland, where The Hidden
History of the Human Race ranked #6 in nonfiction bestsellers at the end
of 1998.
Other 'eclectic' archeological writers include Graham
Hancock, John Anthony West, Robert Bauval (all past Eclectic Viewpoint
speakers), and David Hatcher Childress (possible future speaker).
