Question: What member of the Hare Krishna movement co-wrote "Forbidden Archeology?"
Context: Contributions to popular culture involving direct reference to the Hare Krishna mantra, or the Hare Krishna movement include the following. Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (Bengali: অভয়চরণারবিন্দ ভক্তিবেদান্ত স্বামী প্রভুপাদ ; "Abhoy Charonarobindo Bhoktibedanto Shwamy Probhupad"; Sanskrit: अभय चरणारविन्द भक्तिवेदान्त स्वामी प्रभुपाद , IAST: "abhaya-caraṇāravinda bhakti-vedānta svāmī prabhupāda "; 1 September 1896 – 14 November 1977) was a Gaudiya Vaishnavism spiritual teacher (guru) and the founder preceptor (acharya) of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), commonly known as the "Hare Krishna Movement".  Adherents of the ISKCON movement view Prabhupada as a pure devotee and messenger of Krishna. Haridasa Thakur (IAST Haridāsa ) (born 1451 or 1450) was a prominent Vaishnava saint known for being instrumental in the initial propagation of the Hare Krishna movement.  He is considered to be the most famous convert of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, apart from Rupa Goswami and Sanatana Goswami.  His story of integrity and unflinching faith in the face of extreme adversity is told in Chaitanya Charitamrita, "Antya lila".  Besides being an ex-Muslim, he is famous because of his dedication to the religious practice of constantly chanting the names of God.  Haridasa Thakura and Advaita Acharya,two senior and well-respected religious personalities of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in the local area of Mayapur, prayed for the descent of the "yugavatara", (avatar of the era) believed to be Chaitanya.  As an associate of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, he is named the acharya, or guru, of the holy name.  Due to his constant prayer and meditation on the names of God, he personified compassion, while being brutally beaten by Muslim aggressors he prayed incessantly that The Lord may forgive them.  It is believed that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself designated Haridasa as "nāmācarya ", meaning the 'teacher of the Name'.  Haridasa Thakura, was a devotee of God, Krishna, and had practiced chanting the names of the Lord, Hare Krishna, 300,000 times daily. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), known colloquially as the Hare Krishna movement or Hare Krishnas, is a Gaudiya Vaishnava Hindu religious organisation.  ISKCON was founded in 1966 in New York City by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who is worshipped by followers as Guru and spiritual master.  Its core beliefs are based on select traditional scriptures, particularly the "Bhagavad-gītā" and the "Śrīmad Bhāgavatam".  ISKCON is a direct descendant of Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya.  The appearance of the movement and its culture come from the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, which has had adherents in India since the late 15th century and American and European converts since the early 1900s in North America, and in England in the 1930s. Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is is a version of the holy Hindu text, "Bhagavad Gita", that contains a translation and commentary by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), commonly known as the Hare Krishna movement.  The "Bhagavad Gita" emphasizes a path of devotion toward the personal God, Krishna.  It was first published in 1968 by Macmillan Publishers and is now available in nearly sixty languages and is primarily promoted and distributed by followers of the Hare Krishna movement.  Prabhupada's translation and commentaries of the "Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is" is considered by adherents to the ISKCON movement and many Vedic scholars to be one of the finest literary works of Vaishnavism translated into English. The Mysterious Origins of Man is a television special that originally aired on NBC on February 25, 1996.  Hosted by Charlton Heston, the program argued that mankind has lived on the Earth for tens of millions of years, and that mainstream scientists have suppressed the fossil evidence for this.  Some material included was based on the controversial "Forbidden Archeology", a book written by Hindu creationists Michael Cremo and Richard L. Thompson about anomalous archeological finds reported mainly in early scientific journals.  It also included interviews with the following people: creationist Carl Baugh on the Paluxy tracks; Richard Milton, author of "Shattering the Myths of Darwinism", on Lucy; Neil Steede on Incan ruins; and Graham Hancock, author of "Fingerprints of the Gods", on Atlantis.  It was produced by B. C. Video Inc. The Radha Krsna Temple is a 1971 album of Hindu devotional songs recorded by the UK branch of the Hare Krishna movement – more formally, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) – who received the artist credit of "Radha Krishna Temple (London)".  The album was produced by George Harrison and released on the Beatles' Apple record label.  It compiles two hit singles, "Hare Krishna Mantra" and "Govinda", with other Sanskrit-worded mantras and prayers that the Temple devotees recorded with Harrison from July 1969 onwards. Krishnacore is a genre of punk music which draws inspiration from the Hare Krishna tradition (formally known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness).  The name is a portmanteau of "Krishna" and "hardcore".  In the western world, the band Shelter is widely viewed as having invented the genre in the early 1990s, when two former members of Youth of Today became Krishna devotees.  The genre is also strongly associated with Equal Vision Records, which was formed by Shelter members to promote the Krishna movement.  Other acts within the genre include the Cro-Mags and 108. Richard Leslie Thompson, also known as Sadaputa Dasa (February 4, 1947 – September 18, 2008), was an American mathematician, author and Gaudiya Vaishnava religious figure, known principally for his promotion of Vedic creationism and as the co-author (with Michael Cremo) of "Forbidden Archeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race" (1993), which has been widely criticised by the scientific community.  Thompson also published several books and articles on religion and science, Hindu cosmology and astronomy.  He was a member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (popularly known as the "Hare Krishna movement" or "ISKCON") and a founding member of the Bhaktivedanta Institute, the branch of ISKCON dedicated to examining the relationship of modern scientific theories to the Vaishnava worldview.  In the 'science and religion' community he was known for his articulation of ISKCON's view of science.  Danish historian of religion Mikael Rothstein described Thompson as "the single dominating writer on science" in ISKCON whom ISKCON has chosen to "cover the field of science more or less on his own".  C. Mackenzie Brown, professor of religion at Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas, described him as "the leading figure" in ISKCON's critique of modern science. Michael A. Cremo (born July 15, 1948), also known by his devotional name Drutakarmā dāsa, is an American freelance researcher who identifies himself as a Vedic creationist and an "alternative archeologist" and argues that humans have lived on Earth for millions of years.  In case of artifacts allegedly found in the Eocene auriferous gravels of Table Mountain, California and discussed in his book, "Forbidden Archeology", Cremo argues for the existence of modern man on Earth as long as 30 to 40 million years ago.  "Forbidden Archeology", which he wrote with Richard L. Thompson, has attracted attention from mainstream scholars who have criticized the views given on archeology and describe it as pseudoscientific.
