Graham Hancock est un écrivain et journaliste britannique qui explore principalement des théories non orthodoxes sur l'histoire humaine et l'archéologie. Ses œuvres étudient les possibilités de civilisations avancées perdues, interprétant les mythes et monuments anciens comme des preuves de connaissances oubliées. Le style de Hancock est souvent provocateur, car il remet en question les récits historiques conventionnels et exhorte les lecteurs à réévaluer notre compréhension du passé. Son écriture séduit ceux qui sont intrigués par les mystères historiques et recherchent des perspectives alternatives sur les origines de la civilisation humaine.
L'auteur, passionné par l'origine de l'humanité, cherche à retrouver des civilisations qui auraient été englouties à la fin de l'ère glaciaire, lorsque le niveau des mers a augmenté. Avec des moyens d'investigation perfectionnés, cet archéologue a exploré le fond des océans. Il livre ici ses conclusions sur des découvertes troublantes
L'arche d'alliance, qui abrite depuis trois mille ans les tables de la Loi dictées à Moïse sur le mont Sinaï, est perdue à jamais selon la Bible. Certains disent qu'elle se trouve dans une chapelle d'Ethiopie, à Aksoum. G. Hancock, chercheur et journaliste anglais, fait le point sur ces fascinantes interrogations.
Originally published in 2007, this work explores the realm of the supernatural, delving into various phenomena and beliefs that challenge the boundaries of reality. It offers insights into the mysteries of the unseen world, blending historical accounts with contemporary interpretations. The narrative invites readers to question their perceptions and consider the implications of supernatural experiences on human understanding and culture. Engaging and thought-provoking, it serves as a gateway to exploring the enigmatic aspects of existence.
Until very recently there was almost universal agreement amongst scientists
that human beings first entered the Americas from Siberia around 13,000 years
ago by walking into Alaska across the Bering landbridge. Over the next two
thousand years their descendants supposedly spread out through Central and
South America reaching the southern tip of Chile by about 11,000 years ago.
Meanwhile the Ice Age ended, sea level rose, the Bering landbridge was
submerged and the Americas were isolated from the rest of the world. Largely
on account of this consensus there has not been a single serious attempt in
modern scholarship to investigate the possibility that the Americas might have
played an important part in the still incomplete story of human origins, or in
the equally incomplete story of the origins of civilization. Thanks to
scientific advances, and to archaeological and geological discoveries made in
the past five years, we now know that the Americas were populated by humans
for tens of thousands of years before the previously accepted date. Deeply
puzzling and hitherto unsuspected genetic connections have also emerged - for
example linking Native Americans both with Australian Aborigines and with
Western Europeans. The quiet revolution in scholarship that has demonstrated
that humans were present in the Americas for at least 50,000 years before we
were previously taught they had arrived, also requires us to seek answers to
another pressing question: what were these 'lost Americans' doing during all
the opaque and hitherto unexplored millennia when they were not supposed to be
in the 'New World' at all? Now we know that scientists missed the evidence of
the earlier human presence entirely until the discoveries of the last five
years or so forced them to rethink their model, it becomes legitimate to ask -
what else has been missed? In particular, is it possible that missing pages in
the story of the origins of civilization might await discovery in North
America - the very last place, until now, that archaeologists have thought to
look?
The world's leading and most charismatic authority on 'alternative history'
reveals in this thrilling narrative of the conquest of Mexico the key role
played by a beautiful Mayan princess and by the occult battles waged between
the Aztec emperor and the Spanish leaders.
Graham Hancock's multi-million bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods remains an astonishing, deeply controversial, wide-ranging investigation of the mysteries of our past and the evidence for Earth's lost civilization. Twenty years on, Hancock returns with the sequel to his seminal work filled with completely new, scientific and archaeological evidence, which has only recently come to light
