Archeology: The Hidden History
of the Human Race Wednesday evening, May 3, 2000 in London. Speaking
before an audience of 400
members of the Royal Institution and members of the public sector, he presented
evidence from Vedic and
scientific literature suggesting that human civilizations have existed
on this planet for
millions of years in the
course of cyclical time.

human fossils known outside
of Africa. An international research team is reporting the work in
Friday's issue of
the journal Science. Last
summer, the researchers unearthed a pair of 1.7-million-year-old human
skulls from
beneath a medieval church
in the Republic of Georgia, formerly part of the Soviet Union. The
fossils are, by far,
the oldest human remains
found anywhere other than Africa, the cradle of humanity.
anatomically modern humans,
technically called Homo sapiens sapiens. Indeed, they were not the
fossils of
any kind of Homo sapiens,
not even the most primitive. The fossils were from an African species that
the
discoverers have called
Homo ergaster. This species is considered by many archeologists to be part
of the
species Homo erectus, which
is thought to have arisen in Africa between 1.8 and 1.9 million years ago.
Most
archeologists believed
that Homo sapiens evolved from Homo erectus between 200,000 and 100,000
years
ago. The oldest anatomically
modern human fossils currently accepted by orthodox scientists are about
100,000 years old, and come
from the Border Cave site in South Africa. Calling the Georgian fossils
human is
thus incorrect. This deceptive
use of language is sometimes employed by archeologists who wish to
emphasize their theory that
humans of our type evolved from Homo erectus. Because we supposedly evolved
from Homo erectus, they
think it proper to call Homo erectus human, in the sense of being a human
ancestor.
But, as Richard Thompson
and I have demonstrated in Forbidden Archeology, there is abundant evidence
from
all over the world that
humans like ourselves were present millions of years before the new Georgian
finds, what

history of ideas. My forbidden
archeology work, documenting evidence for extreme human antiquity is part
of
this shift. It is
becoming obvious that we cannot explain everything that is happening in
the universe, including
the question of human origins,
by the actions of ordinary matter alone. We must take into account the
existence
of mind and consciousness
(or spirit) as irreducible features of reality, along with matter. In terms
of human
origins, I believe that
all the evidence shows we have not evolved up from matter, but have devolved,
or come down, from
spirit, by a process I explain in the book I am now writing, Human Devolution.
and consciousness. There
are many parties to this renegotiation: orthodox scientists, alternative
scientists,
religionists, conspiracy
theorists, ufo researchers, paranormal researchers, new agers, alternative
healers, and
more. In order to be an
effective participant in this renegotiation, I try to cross boundaries
and maintain contact
with all the parties. That
is why my schedule takes me to establishment scientific societies such
as the Royal
Institution, universities,
mainstream archeology conferences, alternative history conferences, religious
gatherings, ufo conferences,
new age gatherings, and so on. I also believe that it is necessary for
those
involved in this renegotiation
of our fundamental concepts of reality to be making use of all methods
of
communication, which is
why in my own efforts I am making use of public lectures in all forums,
the web, email,
printed books, magazines,
newspapers, radio, television, and (soon, hopefully) cinema. I have produced
a
script for a dramatic feature
film based on the forbidden archeology concept, so if you are in the film

business, or know someone
who is, please contact me.

ancient Sanskrit writings
of India. Those writings mention ape men, apes
and monkeys, and humans
as separate creations that have coexisted with each
other. There might have
been some cases of interbreeding, but basically
they remained separate lines.
I would put H. erectus and the Neanderthals
in the apeman category.
Australopithecus and H. habilis appear to belong in
the ape and monkey category,

that man and the dinosaurs did not coexist, such as the sandal prints among
the dino
prints uncovered in Texas
or the gold chain discovered in a coal layer (in the
British Isles I believe).

along the lines that you

Also, I have developed a

producers in the US and
Europe. If you have any contacts in the film

Napoleon Fleet when a news
flash came on about the discovery of a 50 (or 15) million yr old
human skeleton found in
Africa. It was a very short news brief and I didn’t catch the whole
thing.
Since then I have been trying
to find further details in regards to this. I tried Discovery News website,
nothing
there. Do you know anything
about this? We read your book Forbidden Archeology
& thought if anyone would
know about this, you would.
Thanks for your input on this.
heard about this?

Dear Michael Cremo,
I am reading your book “Forbidden
Archeology” and in this connection I have some message that might interest
you. A few years ago
I found in my coal bucket a metallic artefact, that caught my attention.
It is an iron (reddish
oxide hue at the surface
and quite heavy for its size, much heavier than stone or coal) splinter
of some roundish
structure like a gun barrel
or a cylinder. It’s more or less the size of a fist.
250-350 million years.
That seems to be so much probable, that there are distinct (yellow) sulphur-like
deposits
grown into it. (Sulphur
formation is not a recent phenomenon, is it?) There are some rusty
growths at its edges,
as if there has been some
long conversion and formation of iron-based compounds in interaction with
the
surrounding material.
burned matches. And
I have just made a burning test of a small piece of it, and it didn’t burn!
(I thought it might
be sulphur, but it isn’t).
After heating with a lighter its colour turned from yellow into reddish.
(This might point to
the fact, that the artefact
has not been subjected to fire, which could give it this old, thwarted
look, with those
growths at the edges).
It is definitely some sulphur compound (those deposits). What compound
– I do not
know. Maybe you might
know from the above description? I also found a very tiny piece of
a white shell
(marine origin?) attached
to the artefact.
