The Acambaro collection comprises hundreds of clay figurines that are apparently thousands of years old; however, they depict such bizarre animals and scenes that most archaeologists dismiss them as an elaborate hoax. The collection shows humans interacting with dinosaurs and various other 'monsters' such as horned men. Both Hapgood and Earl Stanley Gardner were convinced that the figurines from Acambaro were authentic ancient artifacts that indicated that men and dinosaurs had cohabited together in the recent past, and that dinosaurs had not become extinct many millions of years ago as commonly thought. David Hatcher Childress writes a lengthy introduction concerning Acambaro, the latest testing, and other evidence of 'living' dinosaurs.

"This book really surprised me because I thought it was just going to have Charles Hapgood's story in it, but instead the first half of the book was written by David Hatcher Childress ...which was a fascinating read to say the least. If you want to know the truth about the Acambaro finds then this is the book. I found a lot of information that I had not seen previously."

- Very interesting little book. Childress goes a little over board with the pterodactyls/pterodons (he should have explained the differences, and sort of does at one point, but only in a couple of sentences), but he gets the general idea across. Myths, paintings, statues, statuettes, ceramics, etc around the world show humans with dinosaur looking creatures.
The book has very old photos of the figurines etc found at the site. I would like to see some modern high tech photos of the same. Childress said someone has them in storage. - I'm a fan of Hapgood's work ("Path of the Poles" and "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings") and was happy to see "Mystery in Acambaro" available in this edition, enhanced with material from David Hatcher Childress. Hapgood's assessment of the large collection of artifacts, which show humans interacting with dinosaur-type reptiles, is that the artifacts are genuine. He had carbon dating done on some of the samples (at the time, in the 1960s, this was a new technique) and came up with dates as old as 4530 BC, but with a wide range beginning about 1100 BC. Dating of a few atrifacts by thermoluminescence yielded a date of 2500 BC. Hapgood's theory is that they represent the work of a civilization that existed over time. That so many were found in one place is explained by their being carefully sequestered, apparently to protect them from some disaster that struck the society that produced them.
Hapgood researched these artifacts by visiting and spending time with their discoverer, Waldemar Julsrud, who found them on a hillside near Acambaro Mexico. Hapgood took Perry Mason author Earle Stanley Gardner with him, and together they inspected and photographed the collection, which literally filled Mr. Julsrud's home. Hapgood was well aware of the controversy surrounding these figures, which some "experts" has branded as fakes. It was easy to find reasons to dismiss representations of animals supposedly extinct millions of years ago interacting with humans. Hapgood suggests, as one theory, that these animals had survived in parts of the Americas, and had lived with humans. It is actually one of the more plausible theories, since many of the representations are accurate of known species that once existed. Unless they had great Paleontologists and equally great imaginations, it's hard to see how these ancient peoples came up with these figurines. Could these artifacts be proof of a very early civilization that we simply know nothing about? Could prehistoric reptilian animals have continued to exist long after they were supposed to be extinct?
The material from David Hatcher Childress is mostly a rehash of modern searches for unknown animals, with some interesting stories of sightings of creatures that don't match any known species. Particulary interesting is the search for the Thunderbird, a huge bird known to native Americans, and scattered modern sightings of huge flying creatures. There are credible reports of sightings that seemed to be pteradactyls, a flying reptile that is not supposed to still exist. These stories are readily available in other books and on the internet, and fascinating as these tales are, a better use of the space in this book would have been an update on what's happened to the Acambaro collection. I did a search on the internet and found high-quality color pictures of some of the artifacts at [...] The color picures are wonderful, compared to the poorly reproduced black and white images in the book. It apears these figurines are in a museum in Acambaro today, preserved for visitors to see, but still controversial.
The creationists have latched on to these figures as proof that evolution is wrong. However, it seems to me to be no such thing. After all, there is the coelacanth, the prehistoric fish that was supposedly extinct milions of years ago but which has been found to be swimming around today, looking exactly like the fossile version from millions of years ago. So, why didn't it evolve? And yet, we know that other animals DID evolve. That is another question that does not tell us anything about the Acambaro collection.
I was glad to read that Hapgood learned of something similar in Peru - the Ica stones, a collection of stones with images of dinosaurs and humans found near Ica Peru. These are also controversial, but, like the Acambaro figures, have been shown to be old and the best evidence says they are not fakes. It seems worth serious consideration that these representations may show that humans and dinosaurs actually did exist together. I applaud Adventures Unlimited Press for making this material available again, but wish they would have provided updates on the artifacts and better quality pictures. - LOVE IT!!
- Fascinating! Watched a video online and had to get the book.
- Awesome book.
- This is an outstanding scholarly book that bravely faces the facts. Evolution is the proverbial theory trashed by the facts. While evolutionists talk about missing links, in the absence of any fossil evidence (except maybe the Piltdown hoax), or talk about millions of years (even though there is no way of establishing such tremendous dates of existing dinosaur fossils), they refuse to examine the evidence that shows dinosaurs and humans co-existed.
Key to evolutionists assault on the truth is the claim dinosaurs pre-existed human civilization by millions of years. Yet, artwork in cultures all over the world, from Nasca, Peru, to Acambaro, Mexico, to depictions on Babylonian temples of Brontasaurus to depictions on Cambodian temples, to even European encounters, such artwork is tangible evidence that destroys the claim dinosaurs pre-existed humans.
In light of the fossil evidence from Alaska and the Belgium Congo, with T-Rex bones containing fresh blood cells, the notion such creatures existed 67 million (they change the date everytime they talk about dates, so "67 million" is probably unreliable) years ago is preposterous.
This book is a wonderful check on the blind faith of these left-wing extremist evolutionists. Science, not fanaticism, is allowed to take the stage in this wonderful book. - This book really surprised me because I thought it was just going to have Charles Hapgood's story in it, but instead the first half of the book was written by David Hatcher Childress ...which was a fascinating read to say the least. If you want to know the truth about the Acambaro finds then this is the book. I found a lot of information that I had not seen previously.
- This was a way for Childress to ride on the coattails of Hapgood! I did not want a book that was written by Childress with Hapgood's part thrown in at the end! And it is not listed so that you know that the "Introduction" is half the book -( Shame on you Childress!!!
