Brien Foerster

Born in Rochester, Minnesota, Brien Foerster spent his formative years on Canada’s west coast, where he developed a deep appreciation for the artistic traditions of the Haida and other Indigenous cultures. At just 11 years old, he began carving totem poles and other artistic pieces, guided by Native mentors. After earning an Honours Bachelor of Science degree, Foerster dedicated himself to the craft of carving and sculpture full-time at the age of 25, creating an impressive array of works that included 15 full-sized totem poles, dugout canoes, masks, and more.

In 1995, he relocated to Maui, Hawaii, where he played a pivotal role as assistant project manager on the Mo’okiha O Pi’ilani project, a 62-foot double-hulled sailing canoe. This endeavor lasted two years and sparked a decade-long exploration of Polynesia, where he sought to uncover the origins of the Polynesian people.

Foerster's fascination then shifted to Peru and the Inca civilization, leading to the publication of his first book, *A Brief History of the Incas*. As of October 2014, he has authored 15 books dedicated to ancient mysteries, available in both e-book and paperback formats. Additionally, he contributes articles to Graham Hancock's website and has collaborated with notable figures in the field, including Lloyd Pye and Stephen Mehler.

Recognized as an expert on South American megalithic structures and the ancient elongated-headed cultures, Foerster frequently appears on platforms such as *Ancient Aliens* and various radio shows. He divides his time between Paracas and Cusco, while also expanding his research into Egypt, collaborating with experts to investigate evidence of advanced ancient civilizations.
