But the idea of Precambrian humans (poor
devils, algae and jellyfish for lunch every day) is not something that you can
just skip and pass on to Cremo's otherwise "spot-on" scholarship. It's a crucial
part of his fundamentalist world outlook, and believe me, fundamentalist science
is a contradiction in terms.
Forbidden? As far as I know, Cremo is
anything but a martyr (if I say his theories are utter nonsense, it is
_not_ a form of persecution but my well-considered opinion). He is the darling
of creationists worldwide, he goes to conferences, reads his papers in public,
meets important people and talks in TV documentaries; his and
Thompson's book is a bestseller... What the hell is "forbidden" about
that stuff?

I don't quite understand your surprise about a "foreign"
group wishing to discuss archaeology with Michael Cremo. I'm familiar with
"Forbidden Archaeology" and other than some VERY early claims that humans
existed in the Precambrian, I've found his reasoning
sound and his
scholarship (although removed from the mainstream) "spot on". But I do
agree with you that the title says it all: this is forbidden
archaeology.
