Forgotten Civilization by Robert M Schoch Phd
A new expanded edition of the groundbreaking investigation into early high cultures and ancient solar outbursts
“Schoch is a true scientist, following the data wherever it leads, heedless of political pressures or worn-out paradigmsHis redating of the Sphinx in 1991 launched the New Archaeology. Forgotten Civilization distills all that has happened since into a simple conclusion: that solar activity ended the last cycle of high culture and may destroy ours in turn. Schoch is no scaremonger, no hawker of a pet theory. What we do with this knowledge is up to us, but once digested, it changes everything.” * Joscelyn Godwin, author of Atlantis and the Cycles of Time *
"The new edition of Forgotten Civilization also acts as a platform for Schoch to launch a broadside against his critics in the establishment, whose denizens so often blinker themselves in the interests of self-preservation—and who can blame him? Schoch is to be admired for sticking to his guns, and for his academic resilience over decades. My belief is that it will turn out that he has been, and is, on the right side of history, alternative or otherwise." * Geoff Ward, writer, editor and journalist *
"Schoch proposes, based on findings from several different scientific fields, that back around 9700 BCE what he described as an agitated Sun brought the last ice age to a sudden end. He believes that solar outbursts brought about powerful electrical/plasma discharges upon our planet, resulting in severe climate change that involved increased earthquakes, volcanic activity, massive floods, and high radiation levels.Schoch writes how this brought about a Solar-Induced Dark Age (SIDA) that set humanity back thousands of years, and he warns that such a solar outburst could happen again and could have a devastating impact upon our modern civilization. He reveals evidence that our sun is far more unstable than we previously realized." * Brent Raynes, Alternate Perceptions Magazine *

Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., a tenured faculty member at Boston University, earned his doctorate in geology and geophysics at Yale University in 1983. Known for his research on ancient civilizations, he is the author of numerous books, including Origins of the Sphinx. Catherine Ulissey, a 20-year ballet and Broadway dance veteran, earned her B.A. from Emerson College in 2002. Married to Dr. Schoch in 2010, she enjoys contributing to his research while teaching her art, formerly for Harvard University’s dance program and more recently for Wellesley College.
