I predict the next comments will be about racism being non sequitur attacks deviating from the main point of the topic.

Pretending to be a prophet now?

That claim was also made in the Lost Civlizations DVD and the film makers deceptively made it seem that Dr. Bradley T. Lepper agreed.

In one segment, Lepper describes the size and scope of the Octagon Earthworks, explaining that multiple Roman coliseums or Egyptian pyramids could fit within the earthworks. The documentary then cuts to another expert, who argues that the earthworks were built using the same measurement system as the pyramids and were inspired by them.

"I couldn't disagree with that more," Lepper said.

Bomgeography, you have no backing by any credible archaeologist but that doesn't slow you down in the least, does it?

This is what the real scholars say about your kind of claims.

In our opinion, there is no compelling archaeological or genetic evidence for a migration from the Middle East to North America a few thousand years ago, nor is there any credible scientific evidence that Old World civilizations were involved in developing Native American cultures in pre-Columbian times.

Like the great majority of professional archaeologists and anthropologists, we have seen overwhelming evidence that Native Americans were independently responsible for designing and creating the Newark Earthworks, Cahokia Mounds, and the myriad other pre-Columbian sites across the United States.

This describes the people who promote claims like yours.

Today, a group of “independent scholars” (a euphemism often used to mean writers without institutional affiliation, formal training, or archaeological experience) trumpet the evidence for these ancient settlers of the Americas, disseminating their revisionist histories—not in refereed, professional journals but in popular books, magazines, and, perhaps most broadly, on websites and in cable TV documentaries.

And here is what actual scholars say about the racist claims like yours. Some LDS have even twisted it to try to say it is the scholars who are racist.

In the past, many scholars have pointed to a sometimes explicitly racist agenda behind the claims of diffusionists who argue that the glories of Native American civilizations were achieved only through borrowing from various Old World groups. The producers of the Lost Civilizations of North America and the diffusionists they feature in their documentary turn this argument on its head by suggesting that it is instead those “mainstream” scholars who are the real racists because they deny Native Americans their role in an already globalized world of the early centuries of the Common Era. However, the only support for this picture of Native American–Old World interactions two thousand years ago comes from resurrected frauds and distorted history. There is no credible archaeological or genetic evidence to suggest that any Old World peoples migrated to the Americas after the initial incursion from Siberia prior to the tentative forays of the Norse beginning at around 1000 CE other than limited contacts between Siberia and the American arctic.

Bomgeography, you are advocating a supremacist doctrine and using false claims to try to advance it.
