Mark A. Carpenter is an emerging author, filmmaker, and rogue cultural anthropologist based in Baltimore Maryland, U.S. He studied archaeology until he discovered that they were not practicing objective science. Before abandoning the program, he did take advantage of the archaeological program’s internship involving excavations/digs of Maya temples on the Yucatan Peninsula. After becoming disillusioned with the program, he traveled to Hawaii exploring the many islands and participating in another, similar, archaeological internship with identical results. At that point, Carpenter transferred to Stevenson University, seizing a merit scholarship in Maryland, changing his focus of study to an interdisciplinary degree in anthropology and religion. Following graduation, Carpenter determined he needed to master the craft of creative writing in order to intellectually liberate/express himself. His quest now is to write in multiple mediums (fiction, nonfiction, and screenwriting) in order deliver ideas and question the conventional human history/origin narrative to the widest possible audience.
