Michael A. Cremo, an American independent researcher, aligns himself with Vedic creationism and identifies as an "alternative archaeologist." He co-authored the book "Forbidden Archeology"  with Richard L. Thompson, where they expound upon the concept that humans have inhabited Earth for millions of years. Cremo fervently advocates for the existence of modern humans dating back as far as 30 to 40 million years.

   In his seminal work "Forbidden Archaeology," Cremo asserts a bold claim: humans have existed on Earth for tens to hundreds of millions of years. He contends that the scientific community has deliberately suppressed fossil evidence supporting the notion of extreme human antiquity. For instance, citing the grooved spheres found in pyrophyllite mines in Ottosdal, South Africa, Cremo proposes the possibility that these spheres could be manmade artifacts dating back as far as 2.8 billion years.
