Goodman, Jeffrey *
Jeffrey Goodman was formerly a geological consultant to the oil industry. He is better known as a maverick archaeologist with a degree from the University of Arizona. He came to public attention with the publication of his first book Psychic Archaeology in 1977. He does not claim to be a psychic himself but is content to use the talents of others in this regard. He has gone on to ruffle more feathers with his claim that modern man originated in California 500,000 years ago!
His latest book The Comets of God [1687] should generate further controversy with its claim to provide new evidence of God(a). However, what he has provided are a number of instances in the Old Testament where catastrophic events can be interpreted as encounters with cometary bodies. These include the Deluge, Sodom & Gomorrah, the Exodus and Joshua’s Great Victory.
In Psychic Archaeology[781] he touches on the subject of Atlantis focussing, perhaps understandably, on Edgar Cayce’s ‘contribution’ to the mystery.
