Locked Gates Riddle Lord's Secrets Howard West 

Howard West is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in publications including Rock & Gem, 4-Wheeler, Golf Digest, Nevada Magazine, and numerous other publications. His research and discoveries have also been featured on programs such as Coast to Coast AM.

For decades, Howard has investigated the oral traditions of American Tribal Nations alongside the mythology, history, and enduring mysteries of the Eastern Mediterranean world. His work explores ancient legends, overlooked technologies, and forgotten connections between mythology, communication systems, and the historical record.

In Locked Gates, Howard examines the possibility that traces of lost knowledge remain hidden within mythology, archaeology, oral traditions, and ancient historical accounts. When not writing or conducting research, he can often be found exploring remote archaeological landscapes with one or two pack burros in search of new historical insights.
