quite a bit in here that did not make it into our history classes,from giants to 'suicide',to craziness and corruption in Louisiana, and a couple of really bad actors that seemed to have slipped the attention of the narrative gatekeepers. Oh yeah then there is the Harvard Professor who told us the truth at the expense of his career. Lets not forget those pesky ancient coins that somehow keep popping up in the Ohio valley...

....It must be restated here that Lewis and Clark were only rediscovering the ancient lands of America. Dr. Barry Fell was one of the figures who championed this notion, and another who paid a price for it. A Harvard-educated professor, Dr. Fell wrote groundbreaking works on New World epigraphy. This linguistic study consumed Fell as he researched and covered grounds his peers would not. Not surprisingly, the academic establishment ignored his revelations, trying their best to erase him from history with silence or critique.

But when looking into Fell’s work it becomes clear he possessed an encyclopedic amount of knowledge, especially on the topics of ancient languages. Fell was far ahead of self-proclaimed experts who restrict their work to a single script or language. Fell studied all languages, and he wrote his first study on the ancient petroglyphs of Polynesia in 1940. His life’s work culminated in the publication of a trilogy of controversial books in the 1970s. The most famous of these three books was America BC.

In it, based on his studies of ancient rock art, he proposed that Celts, Arabs, Phoenicians, and others had visited and traded with Native Americans long before Columbus. This simple truth was bashed by the academic world, and the facts were kept from the general public. The academics even brought out the big guns from the Smithsonian’s anthropology department to write the accepted scholarly rebuttal to Fell’s work. Letting the Smithsonian investigate theories of pre-Columbian visitors to America’s shores is like letting Charlie Manson investigate the Sharon Tate murders.
