They confirm that our continent was visited and influenced by visitors from Europe and the Near East hundreds, even thousands of years before its "official" discovery in 1492. As such, this startling, fresh proof of their powerful impact on the pre-Columbian New World offers us a different view of American origins that threatens to re-write mainstream textbooks.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 Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America, Unearthing Ancient America, Atlantis and 2012, and Opening the Ark of the Covenant. A frequent radio talk-show guest, he has been interviewed by Shirley MacLaine, Art Bell, Jeff Rense, Rob McConnell, and numerous other broadcast hosts.
