SUNDAY FEBRUARY 7TH, 2010  11PM THE SECRET HISTORY OF NORTH AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS
Richard speaks with the former editor of Ancient American magazine about several pre-Columbian civilizations that rose, flourished, and fell in North America. Before Rome ruled the Classical World, gleaming stone pyramids stood amid smoking iron foundries from North America’s Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi River. On its east bank, across from today’s St. Louis, Missouri, flourished a walled city more populous than London was one thousand years ago, with a pyramid larger--at its base--than Egypt’s Great Pyramid. During the 12th century, hydraulic engineers laid out a massive irrigation network spanning the American Southwest that, if laid end to end, would stretch from Phoenix, Arizona, to the Canadian border. On a scale to match, they built a five-mile-wide dam from ten million cubic yards of rock. While Europe stumbled through the Dark Ages, a metropolis of weirdly shaped, multistory superstructures, precisely aligned to the sun and moon, sprawled across the New Mexico Desert.
Who was responsible for such colossal achievements? Where did their mysterious builders come from, and what became of them? These are some of the questions investigated by Frank Joseph in his examination of ancient influences at work on our continent. He reveals that modern civilization is not the first to arise in North America but was preceded instead by four high cultures that rose and fell over the past three thousand years: the Adena, Hopewell, Mississippian, and Anasazi-Hohokam.
Guest: Frank Joseph became the editor-in-chief of Ancient American magazine when it was founded in 1993. His 20 books, which have been published in various languages throughout the world, include The Atlantis Encyclopedia, Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America, and Opening the Ark of the Covenant. His latest book is Advanced Civilizations in Prehistorica America. A frequent radio talk-show guest, he has been interviewed by Shirley MacLaine, Art Bell, Jeff Rense, Rob McConnell, and numerous other broadcast hosts. His lecture appearances include presentations throughout Japan and Britain, including conventions and seminars with the Association for Research and Enlightenment (the Edgar Cayce organization). Joseph lives in Wisconsin with his wife and son.  12:30AM SPINE TINGLING TALES
