Publisher Description

Using tools as varied as archaeo-astronomy, geology, and computer analysis of ancient myths, author Graham Hancock presents a compelling case to suggest that the story of mankind is far older than we have previously believed. And as the truth about prehistory and the real meaning of ancient myths and monuments is revealed, it becomes apparent that a warning has been handed down to us: a terrible cataclysm that afflicts the Earth at irregular intervals of time may be about to occur.

"Wow. The hypothesis put forward in this book strikes me as entirely plausible. Simply put, 1) How is it that the same architectural styles and advanced astronomy appeared in Mexico/Central America and Egypt at the same time in pre-history if there was no contact or a common source. It is a fact that we have only matched much of the technology represented in the Pyramids and other monolithic structures in both hemispheres during the last century. 2) Are the hundreds of "Noah's Flood" legends found in unrelated cultures all over the world based on the climate changes/floods at the end of the last Ice Age, about 11,000 AD. Maybe this story is true, and civilization was washed away in the most literal sense? The author makes a very strong case."

    " Graham Hancock writes an arguement that the planet is due for another ice age within the next few decades. He talks about mythology, ancient races like Egyptians, Aztecs, Incas. Graham also uses geology, astronomy, anthropology and a number of other fields to support his thesis. The book was so facinating that I couldn't put it down, and it has opened my eyes to the effects of the environment and the natural cycles of nature and the Earth's geological changes. "

    " I loved this book. I believe Graham is a Truth Seeker. Many Egyptologists believe that the Great Pyramids were constructed by Pharaohs. I believe the truth exists proving the pyramids have been there long before the first pharaoh of Egypt. Egyptologists are uncomfortable with this thinking because it challenges everything they know and believe. It forces them to face the idea that another far superior race before the Egyptians actually were the responsible ones for their construction. It is eerie to realize the so called coincidences between the stars and the location of the pyramids. I recommend this to any Truth Seeker. "

    " One of the most amazing, mind-blowing books I've ever read. It attempts to explain and prove that mankind's greatest ancient structures could not have been made at the time they are supposed to have been, and not possible with the tools available to them. If you saw "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and was disappointed, read this book and all will be explained.... "

    " As a nonfiction (technically), this book can be a little stale at times. However, if you are at all a fan of the mysteries surrounding the ancient world and/or intelligent life beyond this planet, you will find this book very interesting. Some of the evidence that is presented in this book was so surprising, I had to rethink what I just read. Very cool. "

    " I liked this more than Alethea but I am not as harsh a critic :-). I want to emphasise this is not the same kind of twaddle as a von Daniken book but it may be a bit of a reach for some people. "

    " A fascinating and enthralling book about an advanced civilization that fathered the ancient civilizations found in Egypt, Mexico, Central America, and Peru. Graham Hancock is a searcher of truth and has an uncanny abilit to feret it out from legends and lost tales. "

    " A very convincing case for the existence of a relatively advanced civilization forgotten by history but remembered in ancient traditions as gods. Few of Hancock's ideas are far-fetched, in most cases the evidence speaks for itself. "
