JAMES MELLAART’S YORTAN GODDESS, Drawing by Hydie Lloyd
Bloomsbury Academic‘s new overpriced, boring and sloppy publication of David Stronach’s memoir with badly reproduced images is an affront to students of archaeology. The one chapter on the so-called Dorak Treasure that could have saved the book is basically a story regurgitation and distortion of fact. Particularly insulting is the failure to hold Stronach accountable for decades of loyalty to James Mellaart’s deception and subverting of history. Following are links to my extensive reporting on Dorak, which the book largely dismisses.
I'm the author of five books: The Altenberg 16: An Exposé of the Evolution Industry; The Origin of Life Circus: A How To Make Life Extravaganza; The Paradigm Shifters: Overthrowing 'the Hegemony of the Culture of Darwin'; Royal Society: The Public Evolution Summit; and the most recent---Darwin Overthrown: Hello Mechanobiology.
My reports have appeared in the Financial Times, The Economist, Forbes, Newsday, Archaeology, Astrobiology, Connoisseur, Omni, Huffington Post, Progressive Review ("How Bush Got Bounced From Carlyle Board"), CounterPunch, Scoop Media and other publications, as well as on PBS, CBC and MBC.
More than a dozen of my stories related to the Rome antiquities conspiracy trial were featured in Harvard Law School's Art Law Syllabus 2008.
I've covered the wars: Colombian Drug War, Gulf War, Sudan, and Kashmir (from both the Indian and Pakistani sides of the conflict).
And I’ve been a guest on Charlie Rose, McLaughlin and various Fox Television News programs talking about those crises and others.
For some years along the way, I was a runway fashion model for legends Geoffrey Beene, Bill Blass, Giorgio Sant' Angelo and so many more.
