Michael Cremo : Forbidden Archeology

[Foxie Loxie]

Am glad I DO have the time to listen. It was great that Kerry was patient with him. We each have our own personality.

[CurEus]

I like Michael Cremo!

His speaking style is measured and purposefully paced. He can be a bit monotone BUT as he actively presents to academics his measured, methodical delivery is well suited to be received and considered. Excited and animated delivery a la Llyod Pye ( another fav of mine RIP) or LA Marzulli immediately alienates or agitates some listeners. I tend to place him with KLaus Dona as a speaker and they do seem to do best presenting, not interviewing imho.

I enjoy Oopsart and disruptive archaeology. I also tend not to "agree" with carbon dating techniques or geologists rock formations dating but I do find myself agreeing with positions that many VERY ancient civilizations have come well before generally accepted dates and the likelihood that some of these civilizations were not made by "modern humans". Mr. Cremo helped me discover that when I was bored with my archaeology classes. Nearly failed a course by referencing him

The interview lasts nearly 2 hours.
It's like tldr .. or rather tldw
I'm too busy to invest all that time.
What, basically, is he saying ?

Saw your post before I watched the video, took notes to share;

A researcher and author who endeavours to answer the question of human origins; where and when.

Read original literature in various languages and found accounts of humans being around for millions of years.

Work influenced by Indian texts.

Discusses the filtering of information in mainstream science.

Mentions inclusion of conscious self being a factor in answering the question of origins.

Book, Human Devolution contains case studies supporting Vedic alternative to Darwin.

Interested in archeological finds that suggest humans are older than 200 thousand years.

Human bones found in ancient layers of rocks, finding published by Harvard.

Mentioned case of little known papers that are not stored at the museum but in a separate storehouse and there is a process just to see them. Sometimes it takes years just to track the little known papers down.

Kerry asks if he’s been to Australia;

Rock art found in Lake Eyre in South Australia shows platypus. 15 - 20 millions years ago, the platypus was living at Lake Eyre (different species than modern smaller platypus). Suggests that whoever made the rock art was around 15 million years ago.

Australia - impact craters. Aboriginal legends of celestial objects creating the impacts, events which date back hundreds of thousands to millions of years ago.

Kerry asks, in light of information in Indian texts, does he believe we lived here at the same time as other ET races and were we seeded from the stars;

Humans interact with ET races. There are periodic devastations that occur, after which the planet is re-seeded. Short answer is yes but that he has his particular take on it.

Has he been visited by ET races?

No accounts like that, not a conscious waking state, not that he knows of.

Also discussed;
blue ETs
giants
long head skulls
oldest account of humans, artefacts; skeletal - 300 million years, shoe-print - 550 million years old.

Welcome to Avalon !

Thank you giovonni.

I presume you already watched the video.
You helpfully supplied a short bio for the interviewee.

According to Brian this guy is quite boring.
The prospect of watching a boring man for nearly
2 hours doesn't fill me with enthusiasm. And on top
of that i don't actually have a good idea what this is
about, there's no synopsis, no summary.

Perhaps you could also supply a brief summary of
the topics covered. That would be very helpful :-)

Here's the condensed version of Cremo and Thompson's 900+ page magnum opus, Forbidden Archeology:

http://projectavalon.net/The_Hidden_...Cremo_1999.pdf (a mere 210 pages )



I actually read Forbidden Archeology from cover to cover about 10 years ago... but you have to be pretty interested (which I was) to follow the huge amount of fine, academic detail. He knows FAR more than the vast majority of archeologists about real human origins.

Ancient Vimana UFO Revelations and a Lost Civilization!

In this fascinating episode packed with exciting information, Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt interviews the influential author of Forbidden Archaeology Michael Cremo on his controversial research into the dating of human origins. ancient civilizations and the potential widespread impact of Extraterrestrial cultures on human development.

Cremo's groundbreaking research has been featured on NBC's Television Special 'The Mysterious Origins of Man" and on the History Channel's Ancient Aliens TV Series. His diligent investigation into the turned up a series of anomalies that strongly suggest a much older date for the advent of humanity, including finely manufactured spheres uncovered in South Africa that date all the way back to a staggering two billion years!

Scientific Coverup

Cremo strongly disagrees with mainstream scientific and archaeological assertions that human beings got their primitive start as cave dwellers around 200,000 B.C and have only had relatively high culture for six thousand years. He has catalogued shocking artifacts and physical evidence for over two decades that show not only was there an advanced pre-diluvian culture that existed far before recorded history, but that it was predated by 10 million years by the legacy of a sophisticated human society. He sees a massive cover up in scientific circles as their focus has steadily moved towards a limited scientific materialism in the last two hundred years.

The UFO Enigma and Ancient Sanskrit Accounts of Vimanas

Cremo has pieced together from early Sanskrit accounts the devastating impact of a high tech flying machine that existed in antiquity called a 'Vimana' by the ancients. The Vimana was capable of projecting itself in multiple places at once and so it was impossible to defend against. This fascinating flying marvel was responsible for the devastation of Dwarka, an ancient paradise that resembles Plato's description of the legendary Atlantis. The striking similarity between modern day UFO Sightings and the detailed ancient descriptions of the Vimana let's us know that whatever the UFO Phenomena represents it has been with humanity for a very long time.

Thanks for thread.

Are there any photos of the grooved metal spheres he saw in solid rock in South Africa - my search was fruitless.

Thank you RunningDeer for time to referencelinks, however, watched all interview and did a websearch, but wanted a specific photo of when he stated he saw the grooved spheres in the strata (assuming it was sedimentary) or mined rock sample. I have got some bits of paper saying I had a certain competence in geology so wanted to have a look see to rekindle my young days of research/ discernment.

Michael Cremo is a rare breed: an alternative researcher who has out-researched the academic paleontologists in their own field. He actually knows more than they do - and speaks their language.

I read the entire 900+ pages of Forbidden Archeology - which is a Tour de Force of a book. It's a case study about how academia works - reinforcing the current paradigm by blindly ignoring evidence. Cremo provides all the evidence for them (and us) in extraordinary detail - until one's head is reeling with the implications.

There's overwhelming hard evidence that modern humans existed on Earth literally millions of years ago. Cremo lays it all out. What we don't know is who they were. Time travelers? Human-looking ETs? Simply our ancestors, who are older than we've been told? We don't know... but they were certainly there, and the evidence is in the bowels of the Smithsonian, archived in the Vatican Library... and in this book.

If you don't want to plough your way through the 900 pages, there's a simpler summarized version called The Hidden History of the Human Race - the title of which was unashamedly borrowed by myself for my interview with Klaus Dona.

For those of you who've not seen this, here is Klaus Dona's presentation... which covers a little of the same ground.

I'm watching this fascinating presentation again. Michael Cremo is exceptional (and admirable!) inasmuch as he lays out case after case after case of astonishing anomalous finds, all in an understated, undramatic and meticulous way. It's a comprehensive summary showcase of all his extensive research.

As ufologists have often pointed out, it only takes ONE reported case to be 'real' and accurate for everything to be turned on its head. It's the same with all these anomalous finds.

And some of them are bewilderingly hard to explain. Like anatomically modern human skeletons being found deep in strata reliably dated as many millions of years old. And there were no disturbances of the soil and rock, as would be the case with "intrusive burials".

There's actually no reason to doubt the findings — except that, of course, they're all "impossible". It's hard for me personally to accept that these were home-grown humans, i.e. those who (like us) have evolved or developed somehow on this planet. It simply doesn't fit well that way.

But back to ufology again. Many reports of abductees, contactees and experiencers of various kinds have all insisted that the human form is common in our galaxy. Some 'ETs' seem to be exactly human, just like us in every way.

So it has to be possible that this is an answer to these anomalous, impossible finds: that they're not the remains of humans who developed here, but of those whom we'd call 'ETs' who were visitors to the planet at that time.

And that, in turn, might explain at least part of the cover-up. Not because of the evolutionary impossibility of it all, but maybe because the detective string trail has to lead to ET visitors, who were just like us: but who, at least for a while, lived and died here.

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

Cremo's mega-book is a pretty dry read at times, but the data he collected for it is immense. The sheer volume of evidence presented is just impossible to dispute.

It's hard for me to truly understand why there are any sceptics of the ancient-human origin theory. It's a slam dunk. The science is in. It's over. The mainstream view of things - of all things - is the greatest psyop in history. There really is another world behind the world, of which 90+% of the world's population knows nothing, because they've been successfully programmed to know nothing.

[OldArcher]

I look upon Michael Cremo's Forbidden Archeology, with the works of Zechariah Sitchen and Erich von Daniken, as essential reading. A good, fundamental knowledge of the past, is vital to creating a bedrock from which to evolve one's ideas of the present and future. Yes, there are many other writers out there, but these three are favorites of mine...

I couldn't find a better place for this video. At the Pura Dalem Jagaraga Temple in Bali there's an 800-year-old carving of a car and a bicycle. Bali anagrams to Bail which is another way of saying Baal.
