The History of Ancient America, Anterior to the Time of Columbus investigates the origins of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and their connections to ancient Mediterranean civilizations. The author, George Jones, posits a controversial theory that the aborigines were descendants of the Tyrians and Israelites. Furthermore, the book argues for the introduction of Christianity into the Western Hemisphere by the Apostle St. Thomas, challenging conventional historical timelines and narratives.

This work presents a highly speculative and fringe historical theory, proposing that the indigenous peoples of the Americas were descendants of the Tyrians and Israelites and that Christianity was introduced by St. Thomas. Such claims are not supported by mainstream archaeological, historical, or genetic evidence. The book is likely to be of interest to those exploring alternative historical narratives and esoteric theories rather than academic historians. Its reception within scholarly circles would be dismissive due to the lack of empirical support for its central theses.
