My name is Matthew LaCroix and I am an author and ancient history expert who has extensively studied the secrets of lost civilizations, megaliths, earth cycles and ancient texts for two decades. 

This journey of uncovering the secrets from these mysterious lost civilizations would eventually lead me to eastern Türkiye in early 2023, where I found evidence of a previously unknown civilization that showed signs of being highly sophisticated in megalithic building, as well as culturally and spiritually advanced. 

However I can't do this important task alone, so over the course of the last ten months I have been putting together a team of experts to take part in a revolutionary documentary and expedition to uncover the secrets of this lost civilization and finally tell its forgotten story to the world. 

Matthew LaCroix is a passionate writer and ancient history researcher who grew up exploring the mountains of northern New England. After college, his focus became studying archeology, ancient civilizations, physics, and history - and at age 32, he published his first major book entitled: The Illusion of Us.

In 2019, Matthew released his second book: The Stage of Time, which seeks to unravel the mysteries of the lost civilizations of antiquity, the ancient catastrophes that destroyed them, and a library of the greatest knowledge they left behind. 

In 2023, he released his third book co-written with Billy Carson entitled: The Epic of Humanity, and went on to make a major archeological discovery near Lake Van in Turkey, where he found evidence of a previously unknown lost civilization - known as the Ararat Civilization, which would become the focus of his career in the future. 

This led Matthew to start his own company called Ayanis Legacy, which focuses uncovering and documenting the secrets of the Ararat Civilization through archaeological discoveries, film creation, and books.

Matthew has appeared on shows such as Ancient Civilizations and Beyond Belief on Gaia, The UnXplained on the History Channel, and hosted his own show called Mystery School of Truth on 4biddenknowledge TV.
