Advanced Civilizations of Prehistoric America by Frank Joseph

ANCIENT MYSTERIES / NEW AGE No one brings American prehistory alive like Frank Joseph. --Philip Coppens, author of Servants of the Grail Advanced Civilizations of Prehistoric America contains much tinder for the fires of controversy regarding pre-Columbian civilizations that rose, flourished, and fell in North America. Frank Joseph has written a startling book with much evidence to consider. The book you're holding sifts through the evidence in an easy-to-understand manner. Read this book with an open mind and you'll begin to see our history in a much different way. --Scott H. Colborn, host of Exploring Unexplained Phenomena Before Rome ruled the Classical World, gleaming stone pyramids stood amid smoking iron foundries from North America's Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi River. On its east bank, across from today's St. Louis, Missouri, flourished a walled city more populous than London was one thousand years ago, with a pyramid larger--at its base--than Egypt's Great Pyramid. During the 12th century, hydraulic engineers laid out a massive irrigation network spanning the American Southwest that, if laid end to end, would stretch from Phoenix, Arizona, to the Canadian border. On a scale to match, they built a five-mile-wide dam from ten million cubic yards of rock. While Europe stumbled through the Dark Ages, a metropolis of weirdly shaped, multistory superstructures, precisely aligned to the sun and moon, sprawled across the New Mexico Desert. Who was responsible for such colossal achievements? Where did these mysterious builders come from, and what became of them? These are some of the questions investigated by Frank Joseph in his examination of ancient influences at work on our continent. He reveals that modern civilization is not the first to arise in North America but was preceded instead by four high cultures that rose and fell over the past three thousand years: the Adena, Hopewell, Mississippian, and Anasazi-Hohokam. How they achieved greatness and why they vanished so completely are the intriguing enigmas explored by this unconventional prehistory of our country, Advanced Civilizations of Prehistoric America. FRANK JOSEPH is the editor in chief of Ancient American magazine and the author of The Destruction of Atlantis, The Lost Civilization of Lemuria, Survivors of Atlantis, and The Lost Treasure of King Juba. He lives in Minnesota.

After its publication by Boston's Element Books, in 1999, Frank Joseph's Synchronicity & You, Understanding the Role of Meaningful Coincidence in your Life was released in Japan, Holland, Hungary, Slovenia, Mexico, twice in Italy and twice in England. He was subsequently interviewed by several nationwide radio broadcasters, such as Art Bell, Whitley Strieber, and Jeff Rense. Joseph has been Shirley MacLaine's featured guest for half a dozen of the film celebrity's Internet shows. He is a frequent speaker at Minnesota's Theosophical Society, together with Association for Research and Enlightenment chapters in Virginia, Illinois, Texas, Arkansas and Wisconsin. Dozens of his related articles have appeared in Fate and Australia's New Dawn magazines over the last thirty years, while Joseph's other metaphysical books include Sacred Sites, a Guidebook to Mystical Centers (MN: Llewellyn Publications, 1992); Sacred Sites of the West (WA: Hancock House, 1997); Opening the Ark of the Covenant (NJ: New Page Books, 2007); Gods of the Runes (VT: Bear & Company, 2010); and Places of Power (Bear & Co., 2018). He lives today with his wife, Laura, and their Norwegian Forest cat, Sammy, in the Upper Mississippi Valley.
