Bio:
Bio:David Brody is a renowned figure in the field of alternative archaeology, particularly known for his exploration of pre-Columbian exploration of America. As a member of the New England Antiquities Research Association (NEARA), Brody has been at the forefront of researching and advocating for the acknowledgment of ancient sites and artifacts that suggest early European presence in America. He combines his legal training with a passion for historical research, delving into areas often overlooked by mainstream academia.
Brody’s approach to history and archaeology is unique. He combines factual historical data with fictional storytelling to make the subject more engaging and accessible. This method is evident in his works, where he sprinkles authentic historical and archaeological information amidst fictional narratives. This approach aims to educate readers about real history through engaging stories, a technique he believes makes learning history more enjoyable.
An example of Brody’s work is his discussion of an 1823 drawing from the Army Corps of Engineers, depicting a fort in Ohio with a menorah and oil lamp. This artifact, among others, is used to support his hypothesis of early Roman presence in America, challenging the traditional narrative of history. Brody’s dedication to alternative archaeology is not just a hobby but a commitment to uncovering and sharing a fuller picture of human history.
Brody’s work is a testament to the value of independent research in archaeology. He highlights the challenges faced by academics who dare to think outside conventional historical narratives, often risking professional credibility. His involvement with NEARA and similar organizations underlines his commitment to this often-controversial field of study.
