Alice Gerard has crossed the Atlantic a dozen times in the last ten
years in her efforts to help solve the mystery of the controversial
French site of Glozel, which has been called the "Dreyfus Affair"
of archaeology. Accusations of fraud made by members of the
archaeological establishment have contributed to the stormy history
of the site during the last 80 years."Glozel" describes the
exhaustive attempts Alice and her husband have made, working with
other researchers, to understand the tombs, the tablets covered
with unknown writing, the bones engraved with reindeer, and the
phallic idols found at the site. In the process the Gerards made
and lost good friends, became informed about a number of esoteric
subjects, and finally developed a theory that might explain Glozel.
The story is not finished; they hope the site will be recognized as
authentic while Emile Fradin, who discovered the first artifacts in
1924, is still alive.
