Civilizations Lost and Found: Fabricating History

[BookofMormonArchaeologicalForum]

LDS scholar Tyler Livingston posted the following on his facebook
page: If you are interested in reading a review of the Rodney Meldrum
influenced DVD "Lost Civilizations of North America" by several
scholars who actually appeared in the DVD, go to www.csicop.org and
read Civilizations Lost and Found: Fabricating History - Part One: An
Alternate Reality.

The Lost Civilizations of North America documentary DVD, a major tool
being used by the promoters of the Heartland theory is one in a long
line of failed attempts to populate America's ancient past with the
denizens of lost tribes, lost cities, and, as its title indicates,
lost civilizations.

While it appears to be faith promoting, it is actually doing more harm
than good due to the fact that they constantly stretch the truth and
use misleading information.
