The Order of the Dragon

Guest: Colleen Clements, Ph.D.
Guest Host: Richard Dolan

Colleen Clements is a brilliant scholar who has been persecuted for her groundbreaking work in ancient culture. For two decades, Clements taught philosophy at the Rochester Institute of Technology. In 2006, she published her latest work, The Order of the Dragon, a bold re-interpretation of the origins of human civilization. Unfortunately for her, the book angered conservative Christian elements within her university, and the next thing she knew, she had been fired.

Arguing that we should take ancient writers at their word, Clements suggests that early humans were “not alone” in the creation of our civilization. While the theme reminds one of Zecharia Sitchin, Clements approaches her topic differently, working from academic and scientific sources to create possibly the first true history of the culture that created modern civilization. This she calls the Dragon Culture, which thrived prior to 35,000 BC in northern Eurasia. She then traces that culture through the ages, through Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Balkans, Languedoc, the Freemasons, and into the present.

Order of the Dragon is a fascinating study that deserves our attention, as does the unconscionable treatment of a true scholar by a hidebound academic establishment.
