Science, of course, treats both these sources as mere myth. But in this miniseries we showed that anthropology and archaeology are not quite as clean as they would like to appear. They ignore (and hope very few read about) anachronistic finds such as anatomically-modern man in undisturbed rock strata millions of years old, and sophisticated items like intricate aluminium gear-rails embedded in coal 300 million years old – what Michael Cremo calls “Forbidden Archaeology”.
