📝 Description: La Historia Prohibida: Las Tecnologías Prehistóricas, La Intervención Extraterrestre Y La Información Sobre Los Verdaderos Orígenes de la Civilización

Pone en duda las teorías científicas sobre el establecimiento de la civilización y la tecnología - Contiene 42 ensayos por 17 importantes pensadores en los campos de la ciencia y la historia alternativas, incluidos Christopher Dunn, Frank Joseph, Will Hart, Rand Flem-Ath y Moira Timms - Editado por el director de la revista Atlantis Rising, J. Douglas Kenyon En su libro La historia prohibida, el escritor y editor J. Douglas Kenyon ha escogido 42 ensayos de la revista bimensual Atlantis Rising para dar a los lectores un panorama general sobre las posiciones de algunos de los pensadores más importantes en el intenso debate actual sobre los misterios antiguos y las versiones alternativas de la historia. Entre los colaboradores se encuentran Robert Schoch, Rand Flem-Ath, Moira Timms, Frank Joseph, Christopher Dunn y Will Hart. Todos ellos han desempeñado papeles fundamentales en lo que respecta a desafiar a la comunidad científica establecida a que reexamine sus suposiciones acerca de nuestros orígenes olvidados y considere la posibilidad de sostener un debate inteligente, sean cuales sean las consecuencias para el paradigma actual. Kenyon ha ido acumulando minuciosamente todo un conjunto de materiales que le sirven de apoyo en su intención de poner en duda modalidades de pensamiento tan anticuadas como el darwinismo y el creacionismo. Cada uno de los ensayos se basa en la labor realizada por los otros autores. Se exploran los últimos descubrimientos e ideas planteados en estas páginas acerca de temas siempre tan polémicos como el de la Atlántida, las pirámides y la influencia de los extraterrestres, y se formulan muchas preguntas interesantes. El resultado es una exposición bien pensada que apoya la idea de que la civilización humana se remonta a mucho antes de lo que pensábamos. También se presentan argumentos convincentes acerca de la existencia de tecnologías avanzadas en la prehistoria y se describe sin lugar a dudas la existencia de fuentes desconocidas de la cultura mundial. Estos argumentos alternativos, que antes se consideraban marginales, ahora están obteniendo credibilidad y respeto. En la colección se incluyen además varios artículos en los que se presentan, comparan y contrastan las teorías de otros autores notables sobre estos temas, como lo son Zecharia Sitchin, Paul LaViolette, John Michell, Graham Hancock y John Anthony West.

This anthology succeeds in its goal of provoking thought by aggregating strong arguments against orthodox narratives. However, it is not suited for those who prefer strictly peer-reviewed academic archaeology or those seeking definitive, undisputed historical facts. Skeptics may find the reliance on speculative essays and the dismissal of conventional wisdom frustrating rather than enlightening. The book’s strength lies in its breadth of alternative viewpoints, but readers looking for rigorous scientific validation might feel let down by the lack of empirical proof. It is best approached as a collection of provocative ideas rather than settled science, appealing primarily to those already open to the possibility of hidden histories and non-human influences on early civilization.
