Could a people gifted enough to raise the Great Pyramid more than 4,000 years ago have lacked the skills necessary to build a ship capable of crossing the Atlantic? Did the Phoenicians, who circumnavigated the African continent in 600 bc, never consider sailing farther? Were the Vikings, the most fearless warriors and seafarers of all time, terrified at the prospect of a transoceanic voyage? If so, how are we to account for an Egyptian temple accidentally unearthed by Tennessee Valley Authority workers in 1935? What is a beautifully crafted metal plate with the image of a Phoenician woman doing in the Utah desert? And who can explain the discovery of Viking houses and wharves excavated outside of Boston? These enigmas are but a tiny fraction of the abundant physical proof for Old World visitors to our continent hundreds and thousands of years ago. In addition, Sumerians, Minoans, Romans, Celts, ancient Hebrews, Indonesians, Africans, Chinese, Japanese, Welsh, Irish, and the Knights Templar all made their indelible, if neglected, mark on our land. Review: Very Well Written & Thorough - This was a great read. It's very well laid out and based on facts, not just opinions. I know extremely little about history however I've taken an interest in it as of late. This books was easy for me to jump right into and understand. I knew a little about the Norse artifacts we found in America but had no idea of the plain massive amount of evidence showing Columbus was not the first to discover America. Everything was backed up with references and facts that can be checked. This book changed my entire perspective of our world and helped me to learn more about our history along with the history of other cultures and colonies. You MUST read this book! It's truly a necessity. Review: Well worth reading - whether it's true or not! - Why four stars? It seems too easy to score points against this book. It is in serious need of an editor, to tighten up the narrative, or even just a proofreader, to eliminate stray superfluous words which resulted from careless cut-and-pasting. It certainly needed a fact-checker: if you are going to explain the Christian use of the fish as a symbol for Jesus, at least get your Greek right, and, as many people have already pointed out, Wyoming is not in the Four Corners region, etc.. The citations are dubious: too many are to Ancient American, of which the author was editor-in-chief, and others are to books published by companies most of us have never heard of. (Note that I don’t think “Frank Joseph”’s past history, as a pedophile and a neo-Nazi, is of any relevance here, although others seem to. Anyone is entitled to the benefit of the judgment after serving their time, and the one thing this book is not is white-supremacist - it claims to be an account of the remarkable achievements of just about every race on earth!). But nevertheless I think four stars is what it deserves. Unless every one of the examples cited was fabricated by people every bit as obsessive as I suspect the author himself is, this is an astounding compilation of little pieces of evidence which, taken together, add up to a good case for reexamining the historical narrative taught in our schools. As Karl Popper said, no amount of experiments can ever prove a scientific theory, but a single experiment can disprove one, so we should welcome uncomfortable findings as advancing the frontier of knowledge (especially in this young country, which has such a strong foundation myth). Of course, some of his sources, such as Gavin Menzies’ “1421: The Year China Discovered America”, have already attracted quite a lot of criticism, and on closer attention may not survive to be of much help (he does not mention one of my favorites in this category, Farley Mowat’s “The Farfarers: A New History of North America”, which I think would actually strengthen his case considerably). The impression the author gives is that the archaeological establishment has scorned these findings because they do not fit with majority academic opinion - often without even bothering to examine the evidence (or, as in the case of the Roman amphorae in Rio harbor, actively concealing the evidence for theological reasons). So - four stars for stirring up the hornets’ nest in a most entertaining way, and in the hope that a strictly neutral researcher will one day untangle this web. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #923,877 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,192 in Ancient & Controversial Knowledge #1,250 in History of Civilization & Culture #12,229 in U.S. State & Local History | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 174 Reviews | ## Images ![The Lost Colonies of Ancient America: A Comprehensive Guide to the Pre-Columbian Visitors Who Really Discovered America - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ysg0thptL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Well Written & Thorough *by K***R on April 7, 2019* This was a great read.

This is a spell binding series of events that prove people were coming here long ago. I always suspected the Minoans and Phoenicians, but Mr. Joseph shows how many other peoples came here and some as a joint effort between countries. Even as a young man it seemed that Columbus must have had a map. Recently I read that he admitted there was a map. He ran into an Island before he got to the mainland, but many followed in his footsteps and that helps to prove it could have been done long ago. The saddest thing is the most overwhelming cover-up that has been performed by our leaders and this starts even before Thomas Jefferson, but he helped the cover-up considerably. It couldn't get out that there were Europeans here, and the Indians were savages that had to be eradicated. That allowed our ancestors to take all the land. So many artifacts have been lost and destroyed, because the powers that be, said they were fakes. In 1848 Abe Lincoln made a comment about giants being found in "Indian Mounds". He had been informed of these people with two rows of teeth, both uppers and lowers and ranging from seven and one half to over ten feet. Some had six fingers and toes. These all disappeared to some place, maybe even destroyed. My copy is loaned to a friend and I'm going to read it again when he gets done. I plan to order some more for fellow history buffs. This is a book that must be read, but you are going to be unhappy with the cover-up. I'm going to look up some of these ancient fortresses as they are within an hours drive from me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/4150582-the-lost-colonies-of-ancient-america-a-comprehensive-guide-to](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/4150582-the-lost-colonies-of-ancient-america-a-comprehensive-guide-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
