An incredible journey to discover traces of a lost civilization
A bestseller that created a worldwide craze

How long is human history, really? This book's author, Graham Hancock, testifies to the existence of a civilization far more ancient than the ancient Egyptian civilization, which occupies the first place in the canonical lineage of history.
He presents compelling evidence through a variety of approaches, including archaeological astronomy, geology, and computer analysis of ancient myths, leaving even readers nodding in agreement.


In this book, Hancock travels the world to piece together the fascinating picture of a lost, ancient civilization.
The bizarre Andean ruins of Tiahuanaco, Mexico's apocryphal Temple of the Sun and Temple of the Moon, Egypt's Great Pyramid and Sphinx… … .
As he delves into the many ancient ruins, he reveals the distinct fingerprints of a lost civilization from the past.
Amazing fingerprints that demonstrate highly sophisticated technology and scientific knowledge.
So, will today's civilization disappear like the ancient civilizations that left behind their fingerprints? This book contains content that will spark an intellectual revolution on this issue.


Its content not only dramatically changes the way we think about the past and the future, but it also conveys something more.
That is, as we follow Hancock and rediscover the truth of prehistoric times and learn the true meaning of ancient myths and relics, we can clearly sense a warning being delivered.
It is a warning of a terrible catastrophe that has struck the Earth at irregular intervals in the Great Cycle—and that will probably happen again.


Graham Hancock takes readers into the world of the most ancient civilizations, not covered in history but found in ruins around the world.
This book, which provided the source material for the film "2012," is a remarkable journey into the history of lost civilizations, a monumental work that will instantly shake up our understanding of history.
