Jason Colavito traces this monumental deception from the farthest reaches of the frontier to the halls of Congress, mapping a century-long conspiracy to fabricate and promote a false ancient history.
Jason Colavito explains how the myth of a 'lost white race' as the builders of North America's earthen mounds has survived for so long and still resonates with those Americans willing to believe in conspiracy theories or racial superiorityThe Mound Builder Myth shows that the battle between science and superstition never ends."" - David La Vere, author of Looting Spiro Mounds: An American King Tut's Tomb
