The Light Gate Episode #116: Michael Cremo (author/researcher)

Tonight, The Light Gate is honoured and delighted to welcome researcher and author, Michael Cremo to the show. He is one of the most amazing researcherers on this planet! Born in 1948, Michael knew from a very early age (after spelling out words in his alphabet soup” that he wanted to be a writer. As he says, "From the very beginning, my life has been a spiritual quest for love and truth. My father served as an American Intelligence Officer for the United States Air Force, and from that time my life was one of periodic change and travel.  I went to high school at an American school in Germany and spent my vacations traveling all over Europe. Once, in the spring of 1965, in a youth hostel in Stockholm, I met some kids who had been to India and back, traveling overland. I decided I would someday do the same thing.” He became interested in Eastern philosophy and Indian esoteric teachings , and studied the Bhagavad-gita.” By 1980, he had established himself as a writer, and since then his many books have sold more than 10 million copies and have been translated into many languages. His first book, “Forbidden Archaeology: the Hidden History of the Human Race,” was a landmark book challenging the mainstream paradigm of archeology and showing that humankind is tens of thousands of years old, but millions. As Michael writes, “This book shows that archaeologists and anthropologists, over the past one hundred and fifty years, have accumulated vast amounts of evidence showing that humans like ourselves have existed on this planet for tens of millions of years. We show how this evidence has been suppressed, ignored, and forgotten because it contradicts generally-held ideas about human evolution." Some of his other books include “My Science, My Religion,” “Human Devolution,” “The Forbidden Archeologist,” “Extreme Human Antiquity,” and more! Michael Cremo is a member of the World Archeological Congress and the European Association of Archaeologists as well as an associate member of the Bhaktivedanta Institute specializing in history and philosophy of science.
