Synopsis

This book concerns a heated debate within the field of archeology. At the heart of the dispute is a trove of unique discoveries—elephant pipes and inscribed tablets—unearthed at a site managed by the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences. While some archeologists hail these as evidence of an advanced civilization predating Native American tribes, others remain skeptical. The author provides a nuanced overview of the controversy, presenting arguments from both sides to allow readers to form their own conclusions. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in archeology, history, and the nature of scientific debate.
