Hidden History of the Human Race
Michael Cremo
Foreword
by Graham Hancock (Author of Fingerprints of the Gods)
It is my great pleasure and honor to introduce this abridged edition of Forbidden
Archeology. Let me say at the outset that I believe this book to be one of the landmark
intellectual achievements of the late twentieth century. It will take more conservative
scholars a long while, probably many years, e to terms with the revelations it
contains. Nevertheless, Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson have put the revelations out
there and the clock cannot now be turned back. Sooner or later, whether we like it or not,
our species is going to have e to terms with the facts that are so impressively
documented in the pages that follow, and these facts are stunning.
Cremo and Thompson's central proposition is that the model of human prehistory,
carefully built-up by scholars over the past two centuries, is sadly pletely wrong.
Moreover, the authors are not proposing that it can be put right with minor tinkering and
adjustments. What is needed is for the existing model to be thrown out the window and for
us to start again with open minds and with absolutely no preconceptions at all.
This is a position that is close to my own heart; indeed it forms the basis of my book
Fingerprints of the Gods . There, however, my focus was exclusively on the last 20,000
years and on the possibility that an advanced global civilization may have flourished more
than 12,000 years ago only to be wiped out and forgotten in the great cataclysm that
brought the last Ice Age to an end.
In The Hidden History of the Human Race Cremo and Thompson go much further,
pushing back the horizons of our amnesia not just 12,000 or 20,000
