Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery.

At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?

They Had Names is the result of a multi-year deep dive into genetics, indigenous histories, archaeology, and linguistics—an ambitious quest to uncover answers to these questions.

In this book, you will explore pre-Columbian links between civilizations of the Old World and civilizations of the New. You’ll learn about unexpected connections between Mexico and tribes north of the Rio Grande. You’ll also discover that ancient ruins from North American civilizations still exist, that these ruins tell dramatic stories, and that they can still be visited today.

On this continent, peoples and kingdoms rose and fell, great battles were fought, heroes were enshrined—heroes whose names have been preserved.

I’m absolutely loving this book. I’m originally from Southeastern Michigan and, have seen some of the formations mentioned in the book. But I had no idea what they were. I started reading the hard copy but, on a whim decided to download the audio. I’m really glad I did. It’s neat to be able to look at the references in the book while listening to him talk about them. Definitely worth buying for anyone interested in the archeology in North America.

Very interesting! Definitely not a textbook!

History, HIS STORY. Denial of facts is a critical feature fake science propaganda. It is evident by the research presented in this book those who claiming support for old earth, so called, science have yet another great mound of evidence to ignore and attempt to bury. Presented in this book are bold evidence in true science. BE SURE THY SINS WILL FIND THEE OUT. Just as evolutionists and athiests are patting themselves on the back for their "genius" God brings another proof of their foolishness.

Amazing how genetics opens our understanding of HISTORY

I really enjoyed this book! The information is fascinating just as with Traced. I’m so excited to follow and learn what is revealed next.

Fascinating Information!

It was a free book, but still left me feeling as if I'd overpaid. Crassly hidden in the ostensibly scientific pursuit of historical and cultural knowledge, is a doltish Christian propaganda piece. The author's thanks to God was a bit unexpected, but not a problem. His acknowledgement of funding from 'Answers in Genesis', an infamously discredited disinformation mill did cause concern, though. By the time he'd gotten to appealing to 'Young Earth Creationists', and assuring them that he was going to present a paradigm to 'replace evolution', the mask of credibility had been completely ripped off. As a devotee of all things Native American, I found this to be a boorish deceit to entice listeners in, so he can spew his roundly debunked anti-science, religious fairy tales. Funnily enough, with all his appeals to Native American friends, and (falsely) stating his purpose, I don't think he ever got around to Christians' role in decimating their population. Hmm, just more 'inconvenient history' for him to dismiss, I guess. I wish Audible had a Zero star option.

Crypto-creationist hogwash
