Product Description Challenges the scientific theories on the establishment of civilization and technology
• Contains 42 essays by 17 key thinkers in the fields of alternative science and history, including Christopher Dunn, Frank Joseph, Will Hart, Rand Flem-Ath, and Moira Timmes
• Edited by Atlantis Rising publisher, J. Douglas Kenyon
In Forbidden History writer and editor J. Douglas Kenyon has chosen 42 essays that have appeared in the bimonthly journal Atlantis Rising to provide readers with an overview of the core positions of key thinkers in the field of ancient mysteries and alternative history. The 17 contributors include among others, Rand Flem-Ath, Frank Joseph, Christopher Dunn, and Will Hart, all of whom challenge the scientific establishment to reexamine its underlying premises in understanding ancient civilizations and open up to the possibility of meaningful debate around alternative theories of humanity's true past.
Each of the essays builds upon the work of the other contributors. Kenyon has carefully crafted his vision and selected writings in six areas: Darwinism Under Fire, Earth Changes--Sudden or Gradual, Civilization's Greater Antiquity, Ancestors from Space, Ancient High Tech, and The Search for Lost Origins. He explores the most current ideas in the Atlantis debate, the origins of the Pyramids, and many other controversial themes.
The book serves as an excellent introduction to hitherto suppressed and alternative accounts of history as contributors raise questions about the origins of civilization and humanity, catastrophism, and ancient technology. The collection also includes several articles that introduce, compare, contrast, and complement the theories of other notable authors in these fields, such as Zecharia Sitchin, Paul LaViolette, John Michell, and John Anthony West.

Forbidden History: Prehistoric Technologies, Extraterrestrial Intervention, and the Suppressed Origins of Civilization
J. Douglas Kenyon, ed.
As we explore the new frontiers of human evolution we are rapidly finding out that we need to rethink our past. All of our rigid beliefs, both scientific and religious, need to be redefined in light of recent archaeological discoveries. This is an excellent compilation of the work of some of the key thinkers on some very highly charged issues, such as creationism and Darwinism. If you find the works of Zecharia Sitchin, Graham Hancock, and John Anthony West intriguing you will find this book a landmark synthesis their ideas.

Other ArgumentsMay 7, 2008 This books shows that there are other arguments besides Evolution vs Creationism. It is not necessary to accept everything or anything in this book. All that is required is that the ideas be open for consideration.
Very Interesting. Scientists again manipuilating facts for their agendasJanuary 1, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
A good read. Discredited Darwinian evolution. Shows how so many scientists will manipulate findings to suit this antiquated therory. Although I feel the author needed more evidence for some of the fantastic claims made in Chapter six : Evidence for Advanced Culture in Distant Ages , it was fun to read.( Their may have been more in the unabrigded version to back up their claims.) It made me aware of how truly unreliable dating methods can be and how easy they can be manipulated. Overall interesting and shows that we all need to continue to be sceptical of accepted scientific "FACTS".
Still hoping............November 11, 2007 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have been reading ALL this stuff for at least 35+ years. I still have all of it (including dear old Von Danniken)and NOBODY EVER "proves" anything! Indus Valley script still an enigma? That "Keeper of Antiquities" clown in Egypt who accepts foreign money for exploration, then slaps the lid on the results? On and on goes the list of teases...but never anything DEFINITIVE. Because where I come from we believed in mermaids, ghosts and fairies anyway...my grandma already said there were some forgotten ANCIENT ONES...(whose Memory you do well to RESPECT!) So let's find their stuff, their flying craft,their translation stones...and JUST GET ON WITH IT!!
Oh, by the way: those ubiquitous Olmec stone heads. Why are they supposedly African "male ballplayers"? They could just as well be Priestesses, Queens or even Medicine Women. Don't forget those long-head skulls from Peru whilst you ponder the things we are not supposed to know! It is also worth asking anyone who is "supposed to know" just HOW ancient stone was dressed and polished. All I ever get is something about rubbing sand on it. Has anybody tried that? (This simple question must be more significant than first appears BECAUSE...the highly polished stone "talisman" which that ICEMAN was carrying seems to have dropped out of recent lists detailing his accoutrements)........
it's out thereOctober 18, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
quite an interesting read. Somewhat repetitive and lacking in hard data, but generally well researched and argued stories, which does leave one wanting more.
