"Everything You Know Is STILL Wrong" updates and expands on Lloyd Pye's ground-breaking theories. He explains how everything from our understanding of the formation of planet Earth to macroevolution is based on theories that only tell part of the story and may not be entirely accurate. Central to the book is "Intervention Theory", the controversial but surprisingly fact-based idea that aliens intervened in Earth's early history to build life as we know it. Twenty years after the original "Everything You Know Is Wrong" was published (in 1997), science has dramatically advanced our knowledge and understanding. Yet much of what we think we all know is actually nothing more than theories based on flawed assumptions that can actually be proved wrong... And that proof is referenced in the pages of "Everything You Know Is STILL Wrong". Lloyd Pye sadly passed away in 2013, but the copious notes and drafts that he left behind have been diligently pieced together and supplemented with new discoveries and up-to-date facts. Although this book is intended to be an updated version of the original, this new edition truly stands alone as an almost completely new work. Over 600 pages Over 150 Black & White Images Paperback
Born 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 is an absolute must read. That isn't to say I agree with every point the author makes but this book is a roller coaster. This book is just a rollercoaster ride of fringe theories. I don't even know where to begin. Essentially the author takes darwinism and anthropology and displays major holes in the current models. This part was great and has sparked me to do my own research. So I applaud the author for convincing me that our current model of human evolution has some serious gaps. If the author hadn't tried to plug those whole with his own wild theory this book could be on par with "a brief history of time" or other pop science hits.
If you want to read a credible, alternative theory of how life/humans came to be, look no further. Very accessible and THE book to get as a foundation to learning more about what we really are.
Overall I love this book. The author has read widely and on many disparate topics: genetics, archaeology, astronomy, history, psychology, geography, evolutionary biology, and much more. His 'intelligent design' theory is squarely based on speculation that aliens designed us (in their image but weaker and less smart), and visit us but rarely to tend their Garden. This is undoubtedly the fatal weak point of his overall thesis - the aliens, our Creators, allegedly orbit on a planet that brings them back to us after enduring an extremely long orbit seemingly more deep-dark and frigid than those of Pluto and Neptune. If you are so inclined his other weak points are great fun for intellectual sniping - all the fun of target shooting and varmint control all in one great rollicking book. That said, he raises many solid points throughout and can factually teach a lot on a variety of subjects. The questions he raises on the lost abilities of ancient cultures are worth the price of the book alone. What one makes of the conclusions is another matter.
Strangely, he goes out of his way to disavow the increasingly influential modern Intelligent Design movement emanating from Seattle, Washington and represented by many modern practicing scientists as diverse as James M. Tour (synthetic chemist), Douglas Axe (biochemist), Gunther Bechly (paleontologist), Prof. Michael Egnor (neurosurgeon), Jonathan Wells (biologist), and Stephen Meyer (generalist), and now many others. But he is 100% an Intelligent Design proponent - like Richard Dawkins (his famous 'signature in the cell' admission), and quite a few others, he can only conceive of attributing our design to alien intelligences. (He openly admits the immediate infinite regress of 'who created the aliens?', but simply passes on heedless.)
His miniature essay into human genetics is I feel a great achievement for a non-geneticist, and provides much food for thought and follow up work (on my part), for verification. His best original effort seems to me to go into the argument for the establishment of the genuine possibilities of yeti/big foot/sasquatch creatures living in relatively remote and inaccessible regions of the world.
