Cremo continues this theme in Forbidden Archeology's Impact (1998) and Human Devolution (2003). He speaks about a knowledge filter ( confirmation bias) as the reason for this suppression. The book claims that humans have lived on the earth for millions, or billions, of years, and that the scientific establishment has suppressed the fossil evidence for extreme human antiquity. įorbidden ArcheologyIn 1993 Cremo co-wrote Forbidden Archeology with Richard Thompson. His work on Puranic Time and the Archaeological Record was published in the ISKCON Communications Journal. In the end of 1990s he headed an organized campaign from all sections of ISKCON to root out heretical views on disciplic succession called 'ritvkism', "once and for all and for good" and authored a paper on the official ISKCON statement on capital punishment. He has met with Murli Manohar Joshi to discuss the Dwarka marine archaeology attempt to date "an alleged sunken ancient city" with evidence found off the Gujarat coast. Michel Cremo (initiated name Drutakarma Dasa) was criticized by Communist sources of India due to close links with Hindu right wing nationalism along with David Frawley.
