"I really enjoyed this. Being an anthropology student, I had mild experience with some of the connections in this book, but as I delved deeper and followed his connections it was amazing to see how logical his arguments against common theory were. If viewed with an open mind the accomplishments and exactitude of this worlds earliest civilizations certainly brings questions of our previous engineering abilities to mind, as well as to the time table in which it happened."
"If you aren't familiar with Chariots of the Gods or In Search of Ancient Astronauts, Secrets of the Ancient Pyramids, etc., then this book may interest you. amazing groups of people were on this earth 5000+ years ago that had achieved things we can't figure out today. This is all over the world from Egypt, China to South America. There is certainly evidence that there was some kind of connection with shared technology. Was this aliens visiting? Was it God?
I did not find a lot of new information for me except for some of the South American oddities like a seaport high in the mountains 10 miles from Lake titicaca that is thousands of years old.
The plus of this book is getting to know the author a little bit. He doesn't just give facts and draw conclusions. He visited all these places and studied first hand as well as reading a lot of stuff (1/5 of the book is the bibliography!) It's part non-fiction sccience and part travelogue. I enjoyed the book from that perspective but I did not read every page. I scanned and skimmed a lot of it. There are some great photographs too."
"Yes, this is both non-fiction and science fiction/fantasy. I loves me some nutters, and Hancock is a well-known nutter. Problem is that sometimes his outlandish theories have more than a wiff of probability in them--particularly his views on the pole shifts.
In all of Hancock's writings, his main premise is that there most definitely has been an ancient advanced civilization on earth, whom we can trace through "fingerprints" in astronomy, religion, mathematics and weird geological or man-built structures. What he wants us to do is re-examine what we assume to be archeological or historical truths.
"i throughly enjoyed this book, it proposes some very interesting ideaas, backed up with very good evidence. hancocks idea is that more than 10,000 years ago an advanced civilisation existed on the planet, in antartic, which was thurther north than it is today. but because its is now covered in ice until it becomes uncovered we will never know, the most interesting theory though, is that the world will end on the 23rd of december 2012, this is due to the fact that the mayan calender, which at its time was closer to an actual year than the gregorian caleder, runs out on that day, and in many of their myths, they talk about the end of the fith sun, on this date. a great read."
