: The authors base their theories on ancient Sanskrit texts (the Puranas ), which describe human history as spanning vast cycles of time.
Cremo's most notable work is his book "Forbidden Archaeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race," which he co-authored with Richard D. Gill. The book presents a comprehensive overview of archaeological discoveries that contradict the conventional understanding of human history, including evidence of advanced civilizations, unexplained megaliths, and mysterious artifacts.
Published in 1994, "Forbidden Archaeology" presents a radical reinterpretation of human history, challenging the traditional views of evolution, civilization, and the origins of humanity. Cremo argues that many significant discoveries have been suppressed or ignored by the academic establishment, and that these findings have the potential to upend our understanding of the past.
The authors present evidence, such as the Grooves of South Africa or the Tertiary period flint tools, to suggest humans were active during eras previously thought to be dominated by dinosaurs or early mammals.
