About This Book

The author surveys ruined cities and monuments across ancient America, describing architecture, inscriptions, and artifacts, and argues that the continent's original inhabitants derive from the peoples of Tyre and Israel. Combining field observations, comparative language and custom, readings of scripture, and historical narrative of Tyre, he proposes a transoceanic migration from the eastern Mediterranean and the early arrival of Christianity in the West attributed to the apostle Thomas. The book pairs archaeological description with interpretive history to align material remains with biblical and classical sources.
