FORBIDDEN ARCHEOLOGY: The Hidden History of the Human Race
Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson What is man's true history? This book explores the clues to some possible answers which may surprise you. The authors come to grips with too-often-ignored evidence for modern man's existence in ages prior to those usually theorized. Was America discovered by humans 600 million years ago? A metallic vase found in Precambrian rock raises that question. What is a "shoe sole" doing in 5-million-year-old Nevadan rock? Cremo and Thompson make available a well-balanced treasure trove of information. Hardcover, 914 pp., $39.95.
