About the author
Lloyd Pye
23 books32 followersBorn in 1946, Lloyd Pye is a native of Amite, Louisiana. He attended Tulane University in New Orleans, graduating in 1968 with a B.S. in Psychology. After graduation, he joined the U.S. Army to become a Military Intelligence (M.I.) agent.
For 20 years Lloyd wrote fiction and scripts while studying aspects of alternative knowledge. Especially intrigued by Hominoids—bigfoot, sasquatch, abominable snowman, yeti—he felt they were the Earth’s only indigenous bipedal primates, leaving fossilized skeletons anthropologists labeled “pre” humans rather than “advanced” Miocene apes. Lloyd felt nothing about them was human, “pre” or otherwise. From Australopithecines through Neanderthals, they were upright walking primates, with physiological traits of primates and none of humans.
Lloyd realized that if Hominoids were real, their ancestors were being passed off as “pre” humans and modern humans could not have evolved on Earth. But he had no idea where we DID come from or how we got here. Then, in 1990, he discovered the work of Zecharia Sitchin and found a “front end” to the research he’d been doing. He realized his own work provided a plausible “back end” to Mr. Sitchin’s controversial theories. He believed he could fuse the two bodies of work to produce a book that would establish a middle ground in evolutionary theory.
Mostly by word of mouth, “Everything You Know Is Wrong—Book One: Human Origins” has sold nearly 40,000 copies. On TV, Lloyd has been featured on The Learning Channel ("Mystery of the Skulls"); Animal Planet ("Animal X"); EXTRA (best UFO segment of the 1990’s); London’s "Richard and Judy Show" (British equivalent of Oprah Winfrey); four times on "Your Turn" with Kathy Fountain on Fox TV's Ch. 13 in Tampa, Florida; "Naturally N’Awlins" with Frank Davis on WWL-TV (CBS) in New Orleans; and WJTV in Jackson, Mississippi (also CBS). He has given over 200 lectures in the U.S. and around the world (Brazil, Egypt, Netherlands, England, Australia).
Lloyd is an articulate, consistently engaging guest on television, and on radio shows like Coast to Coast and Jeff Rense. From the beginning of this part of his career, his verbal skills combined with a natural gift for platform presentations to vault him from obscurity in late 1997 to being well-established in alternative knowledge circles by late 1998. That reputation brought him to the attention of a Texas couple that had recently acquired a normal human skull and one that looked as if it could fit inside the head of a prototype “Grey” alien. The couple asked Lloyd to take the unusual skull and have it scientifically evaluated.
Thinking he knew something about science and scientists, Lloyd estimated the testing could be completed in six months. And it might have been. However, he soon learned that scientists protect their paradigms with every bit of the ferocity displayed by religious zealots when supporting “divine” causes. It’s been over EIGHT YEARS since the Starchild skull was made public, yet final results of its testing cannot be initiated until 2009 or 2010. For those interested in what it’s taken to get to that point, please visit www.starchildproject.com and find two slide shows available as Flash downloads. Both give vivid photographic evidence to support the assumption that the Starchild may well have been a human-alien hybrid.

This book admittedly has a daring title. However, once you have finished reading this, you will almost certainly perceive the world in an entirely different way. The presentation from start to finish is riveting and extremely powerful. You ultimately make your own decision in the end. However, this book could provide you with the real truth on human origins that may appear at first almost too airtight to be true.
The book begins by taking the reader outside the accepted paradigm of debate on human origins - which consists of Creationists and Evolutionists. Lloyd picks apart both sides of the argument and ultimately, proves both are at fault - only giving credit to microevolution; while proving macroevolution is a fruitless pursuit.
Succeeding this, is a modest chunk on the Bigfoot phenomenon, which the majority of the population are brought up to believe is mythical and pure fanatasy. Lloyd has some damning evidence that will give you a perspective on this, and summarizes this chapter with the very powerful: "Having to accept hominoids as real will require having to acknowledge that the entire prehuman fossil record is comprised entirely of their bones, rather than ours."
This begs the question: How did we get here?
This is where it gets extremely interesting. The final chapter gives an excellent summary on the work of Zacharia Stitchin and the Sumerian tablets. The Sumerian tablets demonstrate a wealth of information (well before Genesis) that corroborate with a lot of physical evidence today.
These tablets talk about an advanced race of extraterrestrials called the Annunaki. These beings came to earth around 450,000 years ago, from their home planet Nibiru, to mine gold. Gold can be used to oxidize the atmosphere and can help protect from the sun's rays. After mining for thousands of years in ancient Mesopotamia and Southern Africa, these beings decided to create a slave to finish off their mining project here on Earth. They genetically manipulated the DNA of the native hominoids to create homo sapiens.
They called their newly created colony of slaves, A.DAM.U (plural) and called their land in Mesopotamia E.DIN. Lots of physical evidence is presented to support this information, however perhaps one of the most interesting is how all humans have 46 chromosomes in their band of DNA while all primates have 48 chromosomes? This is a huge amount of DNA that has gone missing, and this kind of fusing can only be duplicated today by geneticists.
Lloyd finishes off this chapter with some information that may be hard to swallow at first, however, in the end, seems to make a lot more sense than anything else we've been brought up to believe.

Some of the science was a little off but way more interesting than The Origin of Species I've been struggling through for the last month.

God rest his soul, Lloyd Pye has a plain, matter-of-fact writing style that leaves no room for negotiation to his conclusions. Though based on thorough research and tangible facts, I feel this ‘show’s over’ approach serves as a turn-off to the inquisitive mind. This is coming from someone who shares a grand majority of his theories, so make no mistake I am no troll - but we need to make room for logical debate on issues so distant from our absolute understanding as human origins in order for our collective consciousness to expand toward the Truth.
All that being said, although the author cautions against skipping ahead - I had no such temptation, as the preliminary two sections were startlingly fascinating regarding information I previously knew very little about. I am grateful for the education and the stark presentation of unarguable facts that exposes the normies for the basic lemmings they are with their baseless objections to valid, extensive fields of research and their well-credentialed researchers.
I admire his equitable admonishment of limited creationist theories and scientism worshippers alike. Darwin’s theory of evolution was just that - a theory - that he himself acknowledged would require evidence to solidify which has not yet come to fruition.
If you are new to the world of hominoid research like myself - you will be initiated into a new vein of research following the first two sections of this book. If you are aware of the evidence of humanity’s much more extensive history and have developed an interventionist theory of your own, you may seek out some of the referenced texts instead on interventionism to better evaluate the evidence for yourself such as Zecharia Stichin or Graham Hancock. Still, however, this book presents an enlightening perspective with semi-unique arguments presented as to our complex and occulted origins.

The first two sections have some interesting enough ideas. The hominoids part was a slog with no references beyond “trust me!”, but had some humorous art. The final section explores a fun theory about how humans were created and was the redeeming factor of the book.
Learning the “fact” that Bigfoot females throw their long breasts over their shoulders when they walk or run might be the highlight of the book though.

If you are curious about extra terrestrial life, this is THE book to start your research.

It may seem very outlandish, but if you suspend disbelief of all that you "know" Pye has made some very logical arguments that can be researched and verified on your own. Quite fascinating.

Pye is right, although I already knew a lot of the theories...he puts the substance and research behind it. Now on to Setchin's books!
