Prehistoric Structures of Central America: Who Erected Them?

"Prehistoric Structures of Central America: Who Erected Them?" by Martin I. Townsend is a historical exploration that seeks to rewrite the story of Central America's ancient monuments. It suggests that the impressive pyramids and structures weren't built by the native people of the region, but by seafaring Phoenicians. According to Townsend, these ancient traders and architects arrived in the Americas long before Columbus, bringing their advanced knowledge of science, architecture, and religion with them. The book compares building styles from Central America to those of Phoenicia and Egypt, focusing on shared religious practices such as the worship of Baal, and inviting readers to imagine a new perspective on who really built these remarkable sites.
