Lost American Antiquities: A Hidden History - Silencing the Ancient Mound Builders

Author S. Edgar Smoot, executive producer of the critically acclaimed documentary, "Lost Civilizations of North America," shares revealing research into America's ancient civilizations and how history has been handed down to our day. Mr. Smoot pays no homage to political or academic correctness as he challenges and gores many academic sacred cows, by asking the taboo scientific and historical questions with boldness and then without apology follows the evidence to its natural extension.

Smoot exposes how and why so much powerful evidence in support of advanced ancient North American civilizations has effectively been silenced by key figures in early American scientific and historical scene.

His research uncovers how these "men of science" succeeded in replacing the traditional view of man, nature and creation with a sophisticated new dogma characterized by the twin pillars of organic and societal "evolution" (a new term in the 1840's). By viewing society through the godless lens of evolution, these men triggered a major cultural revolution which set out to rewrite the story of man's origin and development according to the dictates of this new paradigm.

Artifacts, oral traditions, writing forms, earthworks or archaeology that failed to conform to this newly pronounced narrative must be buried, bulldozed, dismissed or declared fraudulent.

The first and perhaps most tragic of victim of this nineteenth century charlatanism was the ancient Mound Builder (Hopewell) civilization (100BC-400AD) whose massive earthworks once dotted the American landscape by the tens of thousands. That once-Phoenician and Hebrew-rich culture violated every rule of the new philosophy and therefore must be sacrificed.

Why were entire mound cities and earthwork monuments here in North America whose contribution to history and the development of the ancients which would have been of immeasurable worth (all of it evincing signs of incredibly advanced technology and wisdom of the ancients) allowed (and in some cases) ordered to be bulldozed?

Learn about the devastating results that cover-up has led to and how it impacted and intellectually impoverished nineteenth century American society but whose legacy now continues to affect the lives of millions of people all over the world.

Learn the real story about how and why the sciences were handed to us in the way they were... this is history like you have never read it before.
