I find it alarming how the subject of history and its purveyors have overlooked the many archaeological finds that prove civilization existed hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years ago.

In the late nineteenth century, Alfred Russell Wallace, co-founder with Darwin of the theory of evolution, supported the work of amateur archeologist Benjamin Harrison. The work included the dating of stone tools to about 2 - 4 million years ago.1 These were not the only examples found in England. Sir John Prestwich, a British Fellow of the Geological Society, wrote an article published in Nineteenth Century titled, "The Greater Antiquity of Man." It was 1896. Prestwich "made quite a coherent case for the human origin and Pliocene date [2 – 4 million years old] of the Eolithic implements collected by Benjamin Harrison." Author Cremo continues, "Of course, some scientists maintained their opposition, as might be expected of persons with strongly held beliefs."2

This opposition to unwelcome data continues to this day, but on a grand scale. "This process of rejection does not usually involve careful scrutiny of the evidence by the scientists who reject it. Human time and energy are limited, and most scientists prefer to focus on positive research goals, rather than spend time scrutinizing unpopular claims. In the scientific community, the word will go out that certain findings are bogus, and this is enough to induce most scientists to avoid the rejected material."3 When the evidence becomes unavoidable, brutal attacks denounce the unwanted findings-- often with personal remarks.

Now for more of those findings. In an effort to save time and space, I will list the following, which fills pages 796-814 of Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson's Forbidden Archeology.

1. In 1820 the American Journal of Science (vol. 2, pp. 145-146) republished part of Mineralogy, by Count Bournon: "During the years 1786, 1787, and 1788, they were occupied near Aix en Provence, in France, in quarrying stone…they found moreover coins, handles of hammers, and other tools or fragments of tools in wood…a board about one inch thick and seven or eight feet long; it was broken into many pieces...." Bournon continues, "...the fragments of the board, and the instruments, and pieces of instruments of wood, had been changed into agate.... Here then, we have traces of a work executed by the hand of man, placed at a depth of fifty feet, and covered with eleven beds of compact limestone: every thing tended to prove that this work had been executed upon the spot where the traces existed. The presence of man had then preceded the formation of this stone, and that very considerably since he was already arrived at such a degree of civilization that the arts were known to him, and that he wrought the stone and formed columns out of it."

2. The American Journal of Science (1831, vol. 19, p. 361) reported an interesting find near Philadelphia. Cremo writes: "In 1830, letterlike shapes were discovered within a solid block of marble...taken from a depth of 60 - 70 feet...." The quarry workers "happened to notice a regular indentation, about 1.5 inches wide by .625 inches high, displaying two raised characters...." The photograph of the object definitely "suggests the characters were made by intelligent humans from the distant past."4

3. In 1844, Sir David Brewster reported to the British Association for the Advancement of Science that he had found an ancient nail imbedded in sandstone. Cremo writes, "The fact that the head of the nail was buried in the sandstone block would seem to rule out the possibility the nail had been pounded into the block after it was quarried." The particular "Lower Old Red Sandstone age" is more than 100 million years old, according to a 1985 correspondence by Dr. A. W. Medd of the British Geological Survey.5

4. The 6/22/1844 London Times (p. 8) printed a report where "in quarrying a rock close to the Tweed about a quarter of a mile below Rutherford-mill, a gold thread was discovered embedded in the stone at a depth of eight feet." Again more than 100 million of years old.

5. The 6/5/1852 Scientific American ran an article titled "A Relic of a Bygone Age." It described a "metallic vessel in two parts, rent asunder by the explosion" that blew out the "solid pudding stone, fifteen feet below the surface." The silver artistry couldn’t be placed in a known historical period. The stone formed around the vessel millions of years ago.

6. In April of 1862 The Geologist translated a report from the vice president of the Societe Academique of Laon, France, Maximilien Melleville. About 75 meters below the surface a round chalk ball was found, measuring about 6 centimeters in diameter. Melleville said (p. 146), "it was imbedded at its point of contact with the roof of the quarry, where it had left its impression indented." Among other assertions of its authenticity, he remarked, "long before this discovery, the workmen of the quarry had told me they had many times found pieces of wood changed into stone...bearing the marks of human work. I regret greatly not having asked to see these, but I did not hitherto believe in the possibility of such a fact." (Geologists dated the rock around the chalk ball at about 50 million years B.C.E.)

7. "In 1871, William E. Dubois of the Smithsonian Institution reported on several man-made objects found at deep levels in Illinois. The first object was a copper quasi coin" with illegible inscriptions. On page 801 Cremo continues to validate the coin with a photo and lengthy description of the contents of rock around the find. A September 1984 communication with the Illinois State Geological Survey placed the deposits of the location sometime between 200,000 and 400,000 years ago.

8. In 1889 at Nampa, Idaho, a clay figurine was unearthed from a 320-foot deep well boring. The depth suggested a date well beyond the accepted 30,000 years. (The U. S. Geological Survey in 1985 dated the location at about 2 million years.) Skeptic W. H. Holmes of the Smithsonian Institution wrote in his 1919 Handbook of Aboriginal American Antiquities (p. 70): "[T]he apparent improbability of the occurrence of a well-modeled human figure in deposits of such great antiquity has led to grave doubt about its authenticity." Again the popular theory decides what is possible.

9. On 6/11/1891, The Morrisonville Times (of Illinois) reported a woman finding a "small gold chain about ten inches in length of antique and quaint workmanship" embedded in a lump of coal. Mrs. Culp thought it had been lost until it "remained fastened to the coal" at the center of the break. Discovery of the eight-carat gold chain might not have been published if Mrs. Culp's husband weren’t the editor and publisher of the Times. Despite the more than 100 million-year age of the chain, today it cannot be traced.

10. An article titled "Carved Stone Buried in a Mine" ran in the 4/2/1897 edition of the Omaha, Nebraska Daily News. The object, found near Webster City, Iowa at a depth of 130 feet, bore "angles forming perfect diamonds." A face was carved into each of the diamonds, "all of them being remarkably alike." The Iowa State Historical Preservation and Office of State Archaeology at the University of Iowa placed the surrounding coal of the mine in the Carboniferous Period, about 300 million years old.

11. Frank J. Kenwood found an iron cup in an Oklahoma coal mine in 1912. In an affidavit dated 11/27/1948, Kenwood tells his story: "While I was working in the Municipal Electric Plant...I came upon a solid chunk of coal which was too large to use. I broke it with a sledge hammer. This iron pot fell from the center, leaving the impression or mould of the pot in the piece of coal. Jim Stall (an employee of the company) witnessed the breaking of the coal, and saw the pot fall out."6

12. An ancient shoe print was featured in the "American Weekly" section of the New York Sunday American on 10/8/1922. Dr. W. H. Ballou, author of the article titled "Mystery of the Petrified 'Shoe Sole' 5,000,000 Years Old" wrote on page 2, "The forepart was missing. But there was the outline of at least two-thirds of it, and around this outline ran a well-defined sewn thread which had, it appeared, attached the welt to the sole." Furthermore, he pointed out, "there was an indentation, exactly such as would have been made by the bone of the heel rubbing upon and wearing down the material of which the sole had been made." He credited John T. Reid, "a distinguished mining engineer and geologist" with the find. Geologists and professors of the American Museum of Natural History in New York described the rock as Triassic (213 – 248 million years old), but marked it a freak of nature. Reid didn't give up, finding a microphotographer and an analytical chemist of the Rockefeller Institute who unofficially inspected the find-- which would remain unofficial despite the opinions of authenticity. 13. A stone block wall was found deep within an Oklahoma coal mine in 1928. "[T]he mining company officers immediately pulled the men out of the mine and forbade them to speak about what they had seen."7 This might have had something to do with the reports from miners that they had previously found "a solid block of silver in the shape of a barrel."8 The stone blocks in question were mirror-smooth, 12-inch cubes each filled with concrete. The wall of blocks continued for more than 100 yards, as more than one miner struck the wall with his pick. Atlas Almon Mathis' account was brought to light by his grandson W. W. McCormick of Abilene, Texas, who succeeded in getting it published in B. Steiger's 1979 Worlds Before Our Own. The coal around the block wall was between 280 and 320 million years old.

More recently, evidence for a worldwide civilization comes from the megalithic structures that suggest man's ability to melt and pour metal on the go... or at least to share architectural styles across the globe.

Cremo has alot of info about technological discoveries from antiquity, but he is misinformed about the dates.
