Richard Thompson was a mathematician and author who primarily explored and promoted Vedic creationism. His work delved into the intricate relationship between modern scientific theories and the Vaishnava worldview. He was recognized for his skill in articulating the Hare Krishna movement's perspective on science, becoming a significant figure in critiquing contemporary science from within his tradition. Thompson's writings frequently aimed to reconcile religious cosmologies with scientific understanding.
Over the past two centuries archeologists and anthropologists have ignored, forgotten and suppressed vast quantities of evidence showing that human beings like ourselves have existed on this planet for tens of millions of years. Forbidden Archeology documents a systematic process of "knowledge filtration" and constitutes a serious challenge to the Darwinian theory of evolution.
A condensed version of "Forbidden Archeology, Hidden History" documents major cover-ups of human evolution, origins, and history. 45 line drawings. 23 illustrations. 8 tables.
Comparing the astronomy and cosmography of the Srimad-Bhagavatam and other Puranas to those of the Vedic astronomical treatises called jyotisa sastras, Dr. Thompson shows that the two versions are complementary, not contradictory. In this way he gives insight into both.
