BEGIN EXPLORING HUMAN PREHISTORY FROM A PERSPECTIVE UNLIKE ANYTHING
YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT IN GRADE SCHOOL OR UNIVERSITY WHICH IS SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE
AND COMPLIMENTARY TOWARD THE WORLD'S EARLY PEOPLES...

...YOUR ANCESTORS

• If you realize that human prehistory must have been far more complex than what you've been taught...
  
  
• If you cannot reconcile an image of ancestors intelligent enough to create fire a million years ago, yet, for some reason, unable to speak or even to think as we do...
  
  
• If you wonder whether or not to trust institutions that suppress empirical evidence while promoting an ideological agenda...

Paulette Steeves is a Graduate student and PhD candidate at Binghamton University, New York, under the Clifford D. Clark Fellowship program, 2008-2013, with technical training in molecular anthropology and archaeology. Steeves is First Nations Cree. She was born in the Yukon Territories, Canada, and grew up among the very traditional Salish people of British Columbia. Steeves' website, which is in process, will feature a comprehensive database of nearly 500 archaeological sites in the Americas dating as far back as several hundred thousand years. The database will incorporate not only well-known sites excavated from a European mindset but sites known foremost to indigenous American peoples. The website will also feature plotted maps, migration routes, and sea-level charts in time zones such as 20-40,000 years ago as well as evidence of 60,000 playa lakes in what is now desert area of the U. S. Western plains.

Macnab's research revolves around creative problem-solving and links between artistic expression and nature. She traces cultural iconography back to origins in the natural world. Macnab's perspective and scientific approach to the roots of design were influenced by a unique childhood background. Her mother was an architect with John Gaw Meem. Macnab's father, a poet and writing teacher at the Institute of American Indian Arts, encouraged her interest in nature and creativity early on by giving her a microscope and reading her science fiction shorts as bedtime stories. He also taught her how to observe and draw nature, taking Macnab camping by horseback in the high deserts of New Mexico including places such as Chaco Canyon, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Puye Cliffs, and the Santa Fe River on Upper Canyon Road, as well as Big Bend National Park in Texas.

Macnab  left school at sixteen and is for the most part self taught.

Amazon reviews:

"I would rank this book as the top design book of the decade." -on Decoding Design

"[Macnab] weaves together a persuasive narrative to support the premise that 'The appreciation of beauty is universal' and that in almost all instances, human design ingenuity can be traced to 'natural' roots." -on Design by Nature

"This book will appeal to anyone interested in understanding our species' deep connections to nature." -on Design by Nature

Chantal Jègues-Wolkiewiez, Ph.D, Anthropology, M.A. Psychology, Ethno-astronomy, is a long-time Paleolithic researcher who received her doctorate with special honors and congratulations of the Jury. She has specialized in the time-keeping and astronomical capabilities of the people of Lascaux Cave in France.

Jègues-Wolkiewiez' first book, sur les chemins étoilés de Lascaux, presents in a fictional setting her theories about the astronomical knowledge and knowledge of space and time of the people of Lascaux Cave in France. See Blog la table d’Hermes for a review with excerpts in French. The book—in a way similar to Tom Baldwin’s, The Evening and the Morning—challenges the standard view of our ancestors making their abilities and sentiments, not unlike our own, the foundation rather than limitations as taught by mainstream science.

This is the ongoing research project of Richard Dullum and Kevin Lynch focusing on early British archaeology. Their research includes locating rare historical documents and important artifacts presently known only from the literature, as well as the physical locations of important long-forgotten archaeological sites. 

Dullum is a surgical R.N. working in a large O.R. for the past 30 years as well as a long-time researcher in early human culture. He is also a Vietnam vet with a degree in biology.

Lynch is a retired British businessman, archivist and member of the Prehistoric Society of Britain. He lives in Suffolk, UK, at Walton-on-the-Naze near the largest exposed cliffs of the Red Crag Formation. Lynch's specialty is British archaeology of the late 19th and early 20th centuries concentrating on the life and works of J. Reid Moir (pictured at right).

Bill Cote is a documentary filmmaker producing popular television specials such as the Emmy-winning film, The Mystery of the Sphinx (1993) and The Mysterious Origins of Man (1996), each hosted by Charlton Heston. The latter film was the first time the public at large had heard about Hueyatlaco and the story of Virginia Steen-McIntyre (although these had been introduced to the academic community in Michael Cremo’s and Richard Thompson’s controversial book, Forbidden Archeology, 1993). In addition to a 2007 update of The Mystery of the Sphinx, Cote's most recent films on the topic of early man are Valsequillo: An Archaeological Enigma and New Evidence of Early Man: SUPPRESSED.

Here are a few quotations from The Lost Way of Stones which Weishaus uses as a portal to muse on Palaeolithic peoples and times:

"The Lost Way of Stones is built around indigenous rock art found in Southern California, including that of the Chumash Indians who lived mainly along the Santa Barbara Channel; and art made by Shoshonean peoples that is located on the Naval Air Weapons Station, near Death Valley, CA., where, contrasting human creativity with its destructive shadow, it is 'one of the most spectacular concentrations of rock art sites in North America.'"

"My interest in Amerindian rock art began during a residency at the University of New Mexico's Center for Southwest Research. Cataloging slides of rock art of American Southwest also whet my interest in Aurignacian cave art."

"Archaeologist Paul Bahn writes that 'it was the process of journeying to a location and leaving an image there which counted, rather than the image itself, its appearance, degree of completeness, or durability.' However, I would argue that journey and images are entangled in an uncanny web of continuity."

"Christine Finn wrote that 'a poetic interpretation of archaeology—and by that I mean one that moves into the metaphysical to consider the essence of a "thing"—should be included in the armory of interpretative tools available to the archaeologist.'"

"No matter where we are or when, 'a whole mythology is deposited in our language,' recalling our past as present in the depths of a collective imagination."
