 Rating:  - thank you graham hancockyou do the general public a great service by questioning the mainstream of historians views on civilisations and well history on a whole, i found this book fantastic enlightening scary questionable but most importantly solid his works are well studied and seen first hand. and it will make you re think the history of human civilisation. i for one admire people like graham hancock who arnt afraid to push the bounderies of the incredible acheivments our ancient ancestors discoverd and built where as the mainstream comunity describe them as un civilised barbarians. i recomend this book to every human beign on the planet. Rating:  - Great entertainmentWhether you subscribe to Hancock's theories or not, there is no denying that this is an excellent read, thoroughly well-researched and written in an engaging and involving way.

The Piri Reis map itself is grossly inaccurate and its sources may only date to the 14th or 15th century and not Hancock's mythical date of 10,500BC. The coastline is vaguely accurate but the interior ... Read More: Rating: - Your Journey Begins HereWhat can I say, this book is fantastic! The first few chapters were hard going but once Hancock has given you the facts you need he leads you all over the world on one hell of a journey. If you read this book before any other on this subject matter you will be perfectly set up to have your eyes forced open at the possibility that what has gone before isn't quite what you thought. The past is history... |
