Author, lecturer, and filmmaker Richard Cassaro is a student of ancient cultures, comparative religion, sacred symbolism, esoteric architecture, and secret societies. As a professional researcher into ancient cultural parallels, he has traveled to many countries in his quest to uncover a lost prehistoric Golden Age culture that was highly sophisticated and whose legacy is still visible in the ruins of the world´s first known civilizations. His highly acclaimed bestseller, Written In Stone, uncovers the lost Universal Religion of this Golden Age culture, which he claims was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptych Temples, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western "Secret Societies." The most visible of these is the so-called "Masonic Fraternity," an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe's Gothic cathedral builders and America's Founding Fathers.

Mr Martell's recreation was instrumental in proving the Baghdad Battery was capable of generating current.
Lecturing throughout the world, Mr. Martell has dedicated his studies to Ancient Artifacts, Planet X, Ancient Astronauts and the structures on Mars. Due to growing interest in his research, Mr. Martell created a network, of what is now, one of the world’s most visited websites attracting over 1 million new visitors each year.

Today, Mr. Martell is planning stages of several groundbreaking international research expeditions. The expeditions focus on gaining access to ancient locations, ancient artifacts, and other archaeological relics not currently accessible to the public. By bringing worldwide attention to these hidden artifacts, Mr. Martell hopes to usher in a new era in the Ancient Astronaut theory and the Lost Cycle Of Time.
