Description
Fingerprints of the Gods: A Quest for the Beginning and the End by Graham Hancock is a controversial work of alternative history that challenges conventional accounts of ancient civilisation and humanity’s past.
Drawing on archaeology, geology, astronomy, ancient monuments and myths from around the world, Hancock investigates what he believes may be evidence of an advanced civilisation that existed during the last Ice Age. He examines sites such as the Great Sphinx and pyramids of Egypt, the ancient temples of Tiwanaku in South America and the pyramids of Mexico, exploring possible connections between their architecture, astronomical alignments and the legends of different cultures. He also considers theories about ancient knowledge and catastrophic events that may have erased much of this civilisation’s legacy.
Ambitious and provocative, this book invites readers to question established interpretations of history and consider alternative explanations for the origins of ancient knowledge. Hancock’s theories remain disputed by mainstream archaeologists and historians.
