Introduced at the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association

Beacons from the edge of time, the megaliths of the world's first monumental buildings and their mysterious sculptures are becoming visible to us once again after nearly ten thousand years.

Why now?  

What do they have in common with other megalithic constructions that we know of?

What do they have to tell us?  

Giant stone constructions that have somehow survived since prehistory have nothing to do with aliens.  This might  actually be a story about human Ingenuity, tech addiction and how advanced civilization is making us nuts.  

We know the experts and they know us.

Multiple chapters and stunning imagery reveal a world that we never knew existed until the archaeologists began removing ancient fill that had deliberately hidden it for millennia.  It is a world that made us who we are today.

Much of what we've seen and heard about it lately is fairy tales and speculation unsupported by any evidence.   It's time to present the real story: beyond merely monuments and an ancient society in isolation, but as a legacy that relates to people on the streets of towns and cities all over the world today. We aim to showcase the “Wisdom lost in knowledge” that T. S. Eliot so sagely identified.
