Magicians of the Gods by Graham Hancock
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...
Near the end of
the last Ice Age 12,800 years ago, a giant comet that had entered the
solar system from deep space thousands of years earlier, broke into
multiple fragments. Some of these struck the Earth causing a global
cataclysm on a scale unseen since the extinction of the dinosaurs. At
least eight of the fragments hit the North American ice cap, while
further fragments hit the northern European ice cap. The impacts, from
comet fragments a mile wide approaching at more than 60,000 miles an
hour, generated huge amounts of heat which instantly liquidized millions
of square kilometers of ice, destabilizing the Earth's crust and
causing the global Deluge that is remembered in myths all around the
world. A second series of impacts, equally devastating, causing further
cataclysmic flooding, occurred 11,600 years ago, the exact date that
Plato gives for the destruction and submergence of Atlantis.
The
evidence revealed in this book shows beyond reasonable doubt that an
advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age was destroyed
in the global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago. But there
were survivors - known to later cultures by names such as 'the Sages',
'the Magicians', 'the Shining Ones', and 'the Mystery Teachers of
Heaven'. They travelled the world in their great ships doing all in
their power to keep the spark of civilization burning. They settled at
key locations - Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Baalbek in the Lebanon, Giza in
Egypt, ancient Sumer, Mexico, Peru and across the Pacific where a huge
pyramid has recently been discovered in Indonesia. Everywhere they went
these 'Magicians of the Gods' brought with them the memory of a time
when mankind had fallen out of harmony with the universe and paid a
heavy price. A memory and a warning to the future...
