Description

The Lost History of Ancient America: How Our Continent was Shaped by Conquerors, Influencers and Other Visitors from Across the Ocean

Edited by Frank Joseph. The Lost History of Ancient America presents new evidence of transoceanic visitors to old America, hundreds—even thousands—of years before Christopher Columbus was born. Its eminent scholar-contributors are experts in a variety of fields, from botany, biology, and prehistoric engineering to underwater archeology, archeo-astronomy and Bronze Age warfare.

In ancient times, the sea was not an impassable barrier separating our ancestors from the outside world, but a highway taking them to every corner of it. Never before and nowhere else has so much evidence proving the impact made on America by overseas visitors been assembled. Here is irrefutable proof that the Americas were, indeed, influenced by fearless visitors from across the oceans long before even the Vikings went in search of new lands to settle.

You will learn about:

• Old World plants in the U.S. and Canada
• Underwater ruins off the coast of Oregon
• Bronze Age oil wells in Pennsylvania
• Horses in America before Columbus
• Egyptian-style cat burial in Illinois
• Mexican pyramid’s liquid mercury
• Ancient Kelts in Michigan
• Ancient Greeks in Missouri?
• Stone faces of Peru
• Old World axes in America before Columbus
• Ancient Georgia’s city of shells
• The Topper site: 36,500 before the Siberians
• Vikings in Ontario
• The lost city of giants
• King Arthur’s American colony

* Much, much more

The Lost History of Ancient America ends the debate between cultural diffusionists—who have always known that our ancient ancestors did not consider the sea an impassable barrier—and cultural isolationists, who have been equally certain that humans lacked the know-how and courage for global navigation until a little more than 500 years ago.
