The Lost Colonies of Ancient America: A Comprehensive Guide to the Pre-Columbian Visitors Who Really Discovered America

By Frank Joseph and E.J. Koh

Book Overview

Was America truly unknown to the outside world until Christopher Columbus "discovered" it in 1492? Could a people gifted enough to raise the Great Pyramid more than 4,000 years ago have lacked the skills necessary to build a ship capable of crossing the Atlantic? Did the Phoenicians, who circumnavigated the African continent in 600 bc, never consider sailing farther? Were the Vikings, the most fearless warriors and seafarers of all time, terrified at the prospect of a transoceanic voyage?

If so, how are we to account for an Egyptian temple accidentally unearthed by Tennessee Valley Authority workers in 1935? What is a beautifully crafted metal plate with the image of a Phoenician woman doing in the Utah desert? And who can explain the discovery of Viking houses and wharves excavated outside of Boston?

These enigmas are but a tiny fraction of the abundant physical proof for Old World visitors to our continent hundreds and thousands of years ago. In addition, Sumerians, Minoans, Romans, Celts, ancient Hebrews, Indonesians, Africans, Chinese, Japanese, Welsh, Irish, and the Knights Templar all made their indelible, if neglected, mark on our land.

Genesis of America by peoples around the world

Frank wrote this fun book: The Lost Colonies of Ancient America, a comprehensive guide to the pre-Columbian visitors that really discovered America. He divided into different sections from groups of people around the globe at various times by white, black, yellow peoples in a systemic approach. He knows what he is talking as he was the editor of the Magazine Ancient America. He writes as an authority with careful research information so that readers can follow up to learn and enjoy. This book will upset the popular myth that Columbus discovered the New World given Frank’s advocated evidences. Indeed Columbus was the last!
