Hidden Worlds

Hidden Worlds: Fresh Clues to the Past is a 1974 book, by M. Van Der Veer and P. Moerman, that describes the existence of a previously unidentified ancient civilization[1] that was subsequently destroyed by a natural disaster.[2]

Hidden Worlds: Fresh Clues to the Past is a rejection of Von Daniken's theories;[3][4][5] however, Der Veer and P.Moerman concede the existence of Atlantis.[6][7] The book contests orthodox history, claiming international settlement in the Americas prior to European colonization of the region by Christopher Columbus in 1492.[8][9][10]

Until 1974, M. Van Der Veer and P. Moerman were both painters, neither holding academic-level scientific qualifications or credentials; subsequently, reviewers criticized their work as pseudoarchaeology.[11]
