• Berlin Researchers Crack the Ptolemy Code
A second century map of Ger- mania by the scholar Ptolemy has always stumped scholars. Now a team of researchers has cracked the code, revealing that half of Germany's cities are 1,000 years older than pre- viously thought.

ome years ago, Doug Kenyon, editor of Atlantis Rising, asked me to write a column for this magazine. I agreed, and it was a good decision. I named the column “The For- bidden Archeologist.” In it, I have commented on many topics of interest to me.
The first is archaeological evidence for ex- treme human antiquity. According to main- stream conventional science, human beings like us first came into existence between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago, having evolved from more primitive apelike ancestors. But the ancient Sanskrit writings of India and the texts of other cultures tell us that humans have ex- isted on earth for far longer periods of time. There is some archaeological evidence for this. I extensively documented this kind of evidence in my book Forbidden Archeology. That book was published in 1993. So this column has given me a chance write about new evidence for extreme human antiquity that has come to my attention since then.
From time to time, scientists who support the current evolutionary theories of human or- igins announce discoveries of bones of apemen that appear to confirm their ideas. These dis- coveries are promoted in the mainstream media as “our ancestors” and as “missing links” in the imagined evolutionary chain. This column has given me the chance to respond to such propaganda by showing how humans like us existed at the same time as the proposed apelike ancestors.
Another of my interests is the history of Vedic culture in India. By Vedic culture, I
mean the culture of Indoeuropean-speaking people. Sanskrit, the language of the Vedic litera- ture, is Indoeuropean. According to conventional history, Vedic culture came into India from the outside, from the northwest, as part of a migration of Indoeuropean speaking people into India about 3,500 years ago. But in the Vedic literature itself, there is no evidence for any such migration. The Vedic literature indicates that Vedic culture has always been present within India. So in this column, I sometimes discuss evidence that shows the Vedic culture has been in India for longer than 3,500 years.
In all the areas of my interest, the topic of knowledge filtration comes up. I introduced the idea of the knowledge filter in my book Forbidden Archeology. It represents the influence of dominant theories on the threat of evidence in archaeology and other sciences. Evidence that supports dominant theories passes through this knowledge filter very easily. But evidence that contradicts dominant theories does not pass through this filter, and thus this evidence is not very well known. To most people, even professional scientists, this evidence simply does not exist. Some of the agents responsible for this knowledge filtration are the editors and re- viewers of scientific journals. Between the readers and the writers stand the editors and “peer reviewers.”
