Forbidden History Prehistoric Technologies, Extraterrestrial Intervention, and the Suppressed Origins of Civilization

"Challenges the scientific theories on the establishment of civilization
and technology

• Contains 42 essays by 17 key thinkers in the fields of alternative science
and history, including Christopher Dunn, Frank Joseph, Will Hart, Rand Flem-Ath,
and Moira Timmes

• Edited by Atlantis Rising publisher, J. Douglas Kenyon

In Forbidden History writer and editor J. Douglas Kenyon has chosen 42 essays
that have appeared in the bimonthly journal Atlantis Rising to provide readers
with an overview of the core positions of key thinkers in the field of ancient
mysteries and alternative history. The 17 contributors include among others,
Rand Flem-Ath, Frank Joseph, Christopher Dunn, and Will Hart, all of whom
challenge the scientific establishment to reexamine its underlying premises in
understanding ancient civilizations and open up to the possibility of meaningful
debate around alternative theories of humanity’s true past.

Each of the essays builds upon the work of the other contributors. Kenyon has
carefully crafted his vision and selected writings in six areas: Darwinism Under
Fire
, Earth Changes–Sudden or Gradual, Civilization’s Greater
Antiquity
,
Ancestors from Space
, Ancient High Tech, and The Search for Lost
Origins
. He
explores the most current ideas in the Atlantis debate, the origins of the
Pyramids, and many other controversial themes.

The book serves as an excellent introduction to hitherto suppressed and
alternative accounts of history as contributors raise questions about the
origins of civilization and humanity, catastrophism, and ancient technology. The
collection also includes several articles that introduce, compare, contrast, and
complement the theories of other notable authors in these fields, such as
Zecharia Sitchin
, Paul LaViolette, John Michell, and John Anthony
West

“The Encyclopedia Britannica was born in 18th century
Scotland amid the great intellectual ferment known as the Scottish
Enlightenment. It was then and there, in Edinburgh, that Adam Smith prepared The
Wealth of Nations
, Sir Walter Scott wrote novels, Robert Burns poetry, David
Hume and Adam Ferguson philosophy, and James Boswell grew to manhood and
attended the university. According to one chronicler of Britannica
history, Edinburgh in the mid-1700s was “a city on the verge of a golden
age, a center of learning and a home of writers, thinkers, and philosophers,
wags, wits, and teachers.”

It was against this setting that Colin Macfarquhar, a printer,
and Andrew Bell, an engraver, decided to create an encyclopedia that would serve
the new era of scholarship and enlightenment. They formed a “Society of
Gentlemen” to publish their new reference work and hired the
twenty-eight-year-old scholar William Smellie to edit it. It would be arranged
alphabetically, “compiled upon a new plan in which the different Sciences
and Arts are digested into distinct Treatises or Systems,” and its chief
virtue was to be, in the editor’s word, “utility.”

The first edition of the Britannica was published one
section at a time, in “fascicles,” over a three-year period, beginning
in 1768. The three-volume set, completed in 1771, quickly sold out. Encouraged
this success, the publishers issued the second edition in 10 volumes (1777-84).”

“Today Encyclopedia Britannica has a larger and more
diverse line of products than ever before. Our outlook is shaped by our
tradition of excellence and an understanding of what knowledge seekers need in
the digital age.

New initiatives for the Web are continuously under way. In 2002
Britannica introduced Britannica Online School Edition, a comprehensive
reference and education service specially designed for elementary and secondary
schools. It underwent major upgrades in 2004 and 2005.

Britannica is also expanding its line of printed products. We
continue to publish the 32-volume Encyclopedia Britannica, the oldest
reference work in the English language. A new, revised printing was issued in
2005. In recent years Britannica has introduced several other reference sets for
students and young children, including Compton’s by Britannica, My
First Britannica
, Discover America, and Britannica
Discovery Library
.

Our line of product has grown, the media of publication have
changed, but Britannica’s basic mission has not. It’s the same as it was in
1768: to be the worldwide leader in reference, education, and learning.”
