Forbidden Archeology and the Consciousness Paradox

Internationally acclaimed bestselling author Michael A. Cremo unveils stunning new anomalous evidence showing that modern humans have existed on earth far longer than proposed by Darwinian evolutionists. Such discoveries, challenging prevailing theories and engendering alternative explanations for human origins, have revolutionary implications, including a consciousness-based identity. Attempts by scientists to resolve the paradox of matter and consciousness involve proposals such as dual-aspect monism, pan-psychism, etc., which are problematic. Michael offers another intriguing perspective inspired by Vedic wisdom. This presentation coincides with the launch of Extreme Human Antiquity, the long-awaited sequel to Forbidden Archeology; personally autographed copies will be available at this talk and at his Conscious Life Expo book signing event.

Michael Cremo, also known as the ‘forbidden archeologist’, is hailed as a groundbreaking research pioneer and international authority on archeological anomalies. His landmark bestseller, Forbidden Archeology, first published in 1993, already translated into 26 languages, challenged the very foundation of Darwinian evolution. Michael continues to “dig up” enigmatic discoveries in the fossil record and “shake up” accepted paradigms, exploring famous archeological sites around the world, television appearances, lecturing at mainstream science conferences, or speaking to alternative gatherings of global intelligentsia. As he crosses disciplinary and cultural boundaries, he presents a compelling case for negotiating a new consensus on the nature of reality. He is a member of the World Archeological Congress and the European Association of Archaeologists as well as a research associate in history and philosophy of science for the Bhaktivedanta Institute. After receiving a scholarship to study International Affairs at George Washington University, Michael began to study the ancient Sanskrit writings of India known as the Vedas. In this way, he has broadened his academic knowledge with spirituality from the Eastern tradition.
