Book review: Forbidden Archeology’s Impact by Michael A. Cremo
Caraccilo, DJ. 2000.  PSCF 52(1):63-64. CELD ID 14873

Abstract
This is an unusual book, possibly an inaugural work of its kind. Cremo’s Forbidden Archeology’s Impact is a compilation of reports, letters, challenging papers, internet messages, and correspondence the author has had with scientists, and his written responses to the multitude of criticisms, which he claims professional journals have refused to print. This book is based on the response to his 1993 work titled Forbidden Archeology, a controversial extremist view of human antiquity that literally stunned the scientific community. The book crossed many intellectual and cultural boundaries with the premise that the scientific community has been suppressing knowledge about a full array of beliefs to include creationist ideas and a plenitude of conspiracies.
