Product Description
Product Description
Over the centuries, researchers have found bones and artefacts proving that modern humans have existed for millions of years. Mainstream science, however has suppressed these facts. Prejudices based on current scientific theory act as a 'knowledge filter', giving us a picture of prehistory that is largely inaccurate. This book reveals this hidden history.

Format:Paperback
This book exposes the deplorable manner in which the so-called elite of archeology simply dismiss overwhelming evidence of greater antiquity of man (for instance, "modern" artefacts discovered in strata dated to 300 million years ago) because it doesn't fit existing data.
Yes, it can be dry reading at times, as it is very repetitive, but it is not boring. All in all, it is highly informative, and has opened my mind to the idea of a new timeline for human evolution. Cremo and Thompson do a tremendous job of exposing the high degree of subjectivity that is involved in screening and evaluating evidence of the presence and lineage of modern man. They credibly call into question the established timeline and path of human evolution, and do a good job of it. The open-minded nature of their approach is unusually refreshing in a field typically defined by unreasonably hardened opinions and condescension.
This book combines a vast amount of both accepted and controversial evidence from the archeological record with sociological, philosophical, and historical critiques of the scientific method to challenge existing views and expose the suppression of information concerning history and human origins. The authors should be congratulated, because they spent eight years producing the only definitive, precise, exhaustive and complete record of practically all the fossil finds of man, regardless of whether they fit the established scientific theories or not. NO other book of this calibre exists. It should be compulsory reading for every first year biology, archeology and anthropology student and many others, too!
The authors exhibit tremendous courage in including all reports from the past two centuries that can be considered credible based on eye-witness accounts. When it exists, they also present contrary opinion. Rigid conclusions are generally avoided and the readers are left to decide for themselves how to interpret the evidence. Criticism of this book ironically follows the same sort of strategy that the authors discredit - namely that full attention is given to the weakest evidence, while the stronger is ignored.
Some of the negative reviews appear to be attempts to STOP people from reading this material. But the more people know about anything the less dictatorial they become on that subject. That is why real scientists tread the ground carefully. True science knows its limitations. The great scientists are humble and conservative. They know the difference between theory and fact. They distrust themselves and their findings. Perhaps as a first step our textbooks should be more realistic and honest about what we know (really very very little) and don't know.
No, I am not a creationist. Nor am I a Darwinist. Both views are seriously flawed. The truth probably lies somewhere between...
Later note: Source Field Investigations by Wilcock includes some amazing new scientific information about DNA and evolution. There's also the fascinating alien/hybrid origins of mankind explained in Shannon Dorey's three books, starting with "The Master of Speech".

Style is quite academic and dense. If you're looking for light reading this is not a good choice, but if you're looking for a well-argumented, well-documented, objective analysis of archeological evidence which contradicts current main-stream paradigms on the antiquity of civilization on earth, this is the book you need.

Format:Paperback
This being the shorter version and so exhaustive in scope, I shudder to think what a mountain of reading the unabridged Forbidden Archaeology must entail. Part One deals with anomalous evidence in the form of bones, eoliths, paleoliths and neoliths and goes on to discuss artifacts and manufactured objects found in ancient strata, plus human skeletal remains. Part Two casts a critical eye on the accepted evidence and demonstrates convincingly how flimsy the evidence of scientific orthodoxy often is. There is also a chapter on Cryptozoology and a final look at the latest finds from Africa. The book is served well with tables summarizing anomalous evidence related to human antiquity, a good index and a massive bibliography of 27 pages. Black and white photographs and illustrations enliven the text. The authors have eloquently made their case in the most thorough and complete detail. But I must add that this doesn't always ensure "jouissance" in the reading experience, as of necessity there must be a lot of repetition. Nevertheless, a magnificent achievement and an excellent reference work.

Amazingly Comprehensive
Whilst some of the OOPARTS in this book are well known, many are not! It is an amazingly comprehensive review which deserves a place with the greats.

Lacking in credibility
I actually read the full version of Forbidden Archaeology about two years ago. What undermines that book, and therefore this one, is that the scientific bibliography, to the extent... Read more

This book is not worth your money !
This book is not based on any empirical evidence that can stand up against a critical examination. The cited case studies rely on data obtained largely in the early 20th century,... Read more
