Originally published in 2007, this work explores the realm of the supernatural, delving into various phenomena and beliefs that challenge the boundaries of reality. It offers insights into the mysteries of the unseen world, blending historical accounts with contemporary interpretations. The narrative invites readers to question their perceptions and consider the implications of supernatural experiences on human understanding and culture. Engaging and thought-provoking, it serves as a gateway to exploring the enigmatic aspects of existence.

A groundbreaking exploration into the role of psychedelics in the human experience of the Divine throughout Western history, this work uncovers a 2,000-year-old mystery that could challenge the foundations of the Church. It connects the lost, psychedelic sacrament of Greek religion to early Christianity, revealing the true origins of Western Civilization. Over a decade-long investigation, the author journeys through Greece, Germany, Spain, France, and Italy, gaining access to hidden archives in the Louvre and the Vatican. This narrative delves into a little-known link between a secret of Ancient Greece and Christianity, presenting the real story of Jesus and the world's largest religion, which today encompasses 2.4 billion followers. Before Jerusalem and Rome, there was Eleusis, the ancient spiritual hub that promised immortality through a simple formula: drink this potion, see God. The sacrament was buried when the newly Christianized Roman Empire destroyed Eleusis in the fourth century AD. Scholars in the 1970s suggested the Greek potion was psychedelic, a theory gaining support through recent archaeological chemistry findings. With new evidence and translated documents, the author combines science, classical literature, and biblical scholarship to reveal the hidden key to eternal life, leading us to the edge of a vast frontier.

The world's leading and most charismatic authority on 'alternative history' reveals in this thrilling narrative of the conquest of Mexico the key role played by a beautiful Mayan princess and by the occult battles waged between the Aztec emperor and the Spanish leaders.

Less than 50,000 years ago, humans lacked art, religion, and sophisticated thought. Then, a dramatic transformation occurred, described by scientists as 'the greatest riddle in human history,' resulting in the emergence of the skills and qualities we value today. The author embarks on a quest to explore this pivotal moment and the influences that shaped the modern mind. This journey takes him from the beautifully painted caves of prehistoric Europe to rock shelters in South Africa, revealing extraordinary Stone Age art. He uncovers clues that lead him to the Amazon rainforest, where he drinks the hallucinogen Ayahuasca with shamans. Their paintings depict 'super-natural beings' resembling the animal-human hybrids found in ancient caves. Hallucinogens like mescaline also induce visionary experiences with these beings. Cutting-edge scientists now consider such hallucinations as potential real perceptions of other dimensions. This raises questions: Were the supernaturals first depicted in caves the ancient teachers of humanity? Is human evolution a purposive process rather than a mere chance occurrence? The exploration is divided into sections covering visions, caves, beings, codes, religions, and mysteries, delving into the connections between ancient experiences and contemporary understanding of consciousness.

Until recently, it was widely believed that humans first entered the Americas from Siberia around 13,000 years ago via the Bering landbridge, spreading throughout Central and South America over the following millennia. This consensus led to a lack of exploration into the Americas' role in human origins and civilization. However, recent scientific advancements and archaeological findings have revealed that humans inhabited the Americas for tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. Unexpected genetic links have emerged, connecting Native Americans with Australian Aborigines and Western Europeans. This shift in understanding indicates that humans may have been present in the Americas for at least 50,000 years, prompting questions about what these 'lost Americans' were doing during the unexplored millennia when they were believed to be absent. The recent discoveries challenge scholars to reconsider what evidence may have been overlooked, particularly regarding the origins of civilization. This raises the intriguing possibility that significant insights into early human history could still be uncovered in North America, a region previously deemed unlikely to hold such revelations.

Cortés and his small army of Conquistadors enter Tenochtitlan, the island city of the Aztecs, as guests of the psychotic emperor Moctezuma who plans to trap them there and kill them all. In a stunning coup, Cortés acts first, taking the emperor hostage and ruling the Aztecs through him. All of Mexico seems about to fall into his hands until a report comes from the coast of the arrival of a new force of Spaniards with more than three times his numbers, sent not to strengthen him but to attack him and wrest the conquest from him. Faced with the choice of abject surrender or war with fellow Spaniards Cortés chooses war and marches out to do battle but, in so doing he fatally weakens his garrison in Tenochtitlan and throws open the doors of Hell

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

Less than 50,000 years ago, humanity lacked art, religion, and complex symbolism. Then, a remarkable transformation occurred, described by scientists as one of history's greatest mysteries, resulting in the emergence of skills and qualities we highly value today. In this exploration, the author investigates this pivotal moment and the influences that shaped the modern human mind. His journey spans from the breathtaking painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to secluded rock shelters in South Africa, revealing an extraordinary collection of Stone Age art. Along the way, he uncovers clues that lead him deep into the Amazon rainforest, where he experiences the potent hallucinogen Ayahuasca with indigenous shamans. Their artwork features supernatural beings resembling the animal-human hybrids found in ancient caves. Other hallucinogens, like mescaline, also evoke visions of these same entities. Researchers in consciousness studies are beginning to entertain the idea that such hallucinations might represent genuine perceptions of other dimensions. This raises intriguing questions: Were the supernatural beings depicted in ancient art the original teachers of humanity? Is human evolution a more purposeful and intelligent process than Darwin suggested, one that we are only beginning to comprehend?

The epic story of the Spanish conquest of Mexico.

Exploring the past with hi-tech tools of modern archaeology, geology and astronomy, Hancock exposes an eerie network of connections between Egyptian pyramids, Andean temples, spherical geometry, and astro-navigation. He makes claim for a lost civilization that flourished during the last ice age.

From Mexico to Iceland, Cambodia to Easter Island, China to Egypt, we are finding a common astronomical wisdom handed down from a time before history, a time perhaps before the 'Great Flood'. This book discusses about the common wisdom from a lost civilisation which might hold the key to our own identity on earth.

"LEGOa Heroes is a collection of twelve remarkable stories about everyday heroes using the LEGOa system in unique ways to solve some of life's greatest challenges"--

Book by Hancock, Graham

A physical and intellectual journey, a worldwide exploration diving for the underwater ruins of a lost civilization, this book follows clues in ancient scriptures and mythlogy and in the scientific evidence of the flood that swept the Earth at the end of the last Ice Age. This text explores the question of early humans swept away by the catastrpohe. Who were these populations - pre-civilised hunter-gatherers or more sophisticated peoples altogether? The text is written as a personal adventure involving the reader in the travels, the practicalities and the risks while developing the larger themes along the way, building up to the explosive revelation of a global mystery.

Part adventure story and part historical detective work, this is a quest into the real nature and current whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant. The author has found, scattered amongst dusty archives and leading back through cryptically coded parchments, secret societies, the Knights Templar and even the Freemasons, traces of an organized and sometimes sinister tradition of quest for the Ark. Against this backdrop he mounts his own search for the sacred relic, a search that takes him to the tombs and pyramids of Ancient Egypt, to the walls of Jericho and the Temple Mount in Israel, and amidst civil war and political turmoil to the country in which the Ark is said to rest.

For thousands of years the Great Sphinx of Egypt has gazed towards the east, reading a message in the stars that mankind has long forgotten. This work considers geological and archaeo-astronomical evidence that suggests that the Sphinx may be a great deal older than Egyptologists believe. It has also become clear that the three enormous pyramids of the Giza plateau, half a mile to the west of the Sphinx, are not the tombs of megalomaniac Pharaohs but a precise map of the stars of Orion's Belt.

Lords of Poverty: The Power, Prestige & Corruption of the International Aid Business is a case study in betrayals of a public trust. The shortcomings of aid are numerous, and serious enough to raise questions about the viability of the practice at its most fundamental levels. Hancock’s report is thorough, deeply shocking, and certain to cause critical reevaluation—of the government’s motives in giving foreign aid, and of the true needs of our intended beneficiaries.

"Watch out Dan Brown and Umberto Eco! Here's a real esoteric thriller written by some real Illuminati who know the real thing and aren't afraid to let the secret out. Sex, magic, politics, and mystery. The Forbidden Book is a gripping, exciting, and illuminating read." Gary Lachman , author of Turn Off Your Mind "This is a really excellent bookgripping, thoughtprovoking, mysterious, deep and resonant with esoteric knowledge. It keeps you turning the pages in a most compelling way. I couldn't put it down." Graham Hancock , author of the international bestsellers The Sign and the Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods , and Heaven's Mirror This gripping pageturner has something for every fan of occult fiction: a murder mystery set against the conflicts of Islam and the West with symbolism, alchemy, and magic fueling the action. The evocative setting of Venice and the Veneto dominates the plot, along with vivid scenes in Santiago de Compostela, Provence, Washington, and the Vatican. The Forbidden Book delves deep into esoteric knowledge and practice, thanks to Guido Mina di Sospiro's extensive knowledge of Catholicism and Joscelyn Godwin's authoritative studies of the western esoteric tradition. Underlying the fastpaced action, the reader will find a profound treatment of moral and political dilemmas, the conflict of religions, and the frightening possibilities of the occult.

V knize Hledání nadpřirozena se Graham Hancock snaží dopátrat toho, co přivedlo naše předky k vytváření úžasných jeskynních a skalních maleb, co je ukryto v našem genetickém kódu a co mají společného tak složité fenomény jako UFO a kouzelné bytosti.

Autoři knihy se snaží obhájit svou teorii, podle níž egyptská Sfinga nevznikla v epoše kolem r.2500 př.n.l.,jak se obvykle uvádí, ale daleko dříve,kolem r. 10500 před n.l. Jako důkaz uvádějí erozi sochy, která nese známky vodního působení. A právě před více než 12000 lety postihly Egypt velké záplavy a změny klimatu. Podobně autoři uvažují i o celém komplexu v Gíze, jehož oficiálně uznávané stáří i celý běžně uváděný smysl zpochybňují.Podobně jako známý E. von Däniken přisuzují pyramidám hluboký, dosud nedoceněný astronomický význam. Dokonce vidí pyramidy jako produkt neznámé, mimořádně vyspělé předpotopní civilizace.

Mistrovská hra je intelektuální cestou, která prostřednictvím skrytých uliček prochází historií, přičemž odkrývá stopy v architektuře a památkách tajných náboženství, která dala světu tvář. Stěžejní historické události a procesy jako zrození renesance, vědeckého racionalismu a Francouzská a Americká revoluce jsou zde radikálně přehodnoceny ve světle nových důkazů. Dokonce i víra v to, že Spojené státy mají "globální misi", může být přehodnocena... Kniha se podrobněji zabývá zednářským ideálem, sleduje počátky hry symbolů, slov a talismanů od starověkého Egypta až po moderní dobu, a to přímo na místech elitářských zednářských ritů ve Washingtonu. Kniha odhaluje pravý důvod uspořádání světa a co je ještě důležitější, ukazuje, jak to vše ovlivnilo svět.

Mithilfe modernster Computersimulationen konnte der Autor dieser Buches nachweisen, dass die Pyramiden zusammen mit der Sphinx genau das Sternbild Orion nachbilden. Inspiriert von dieser ungewöhnlichen Tatsache versuchte er zu berechnen, wo prähistorische Astronomen ein weiteres Modell des Sternbildes, ein weiteres Spiegelbild des Himmels, errichtet haben könnten. Er steckte den Zirkel auf die Karte und fand sich im legendären kambodschanischen Tempel Angkor Wat wieder. Die Anordnung der Tempel spiegelte diesmal das Sternbild Drache wider! Dies ermutigte ihn zu weiteren Berechnungen und Reisen. Er reiste in den Pazifik, nach Peru, Bolivien, zur geheimnisvollen Stadt Tiahuanaco, zu den rätselhaften Geoglyphen der Nazca-Ebene, auf die Osterinsel... Graham Hancock ist überzeugt, dass all dies das Werk einer einzigen, hochentwickelten Zivilisation ist, die ihr Erbe den Nachfolgenden hinterlassen hat. Die alten Baumeister vermitteln uns mit eindringlicher Dringlichkeit, dass es eine äußerst wichtige Verbindung zwischen Astronomie und der Unsterblichkeit des Menschen gibt. Welche? Das bleibt uns bisher verborgen. Aber wir sollen noch etwas Zeit haben...

Nové archeologické důkazy pro existenci prehistorických civilizací, od autora bestselleru Otisky božích prstů Bestseller Grahama Hancocka Otisky božích prstů, rozsáhlé pátrání po tajemství naší minulosti a po důkazech ztracené prehistorické civilizace, vyvolal obrovské pozdvižení svou kontroverzní hypotézou. Mohla tu už dávno předtím, než vůbec začalo to, čemu říkáme „historie“, vzkvétat pokročilá civilizace, která pak zmizela v propasti zapomnění? Civilizace schopná složitých astronomických měření a nevídaných architektonických výkonů? A pokud ano, ztratila se úplně beze stopy? Nyní, o dvacet let později, přichází Hancock s pokračováním svého převratného díla naplněným zcela novými, nedávno objevenými vědeckými důkazy a archeologickými nálezy.

Prawdziwe przeznaczenie piramid i Wielkiego Sfinksa ujawnione! Autorzy bestsellerów rzucili wyzwanie tradycyjnej egiptologii. Wielki Sfinks, spoglądając na wschód, odczytuje zapomniane przesłanie z gwiazd, które domaga się zrozumienia. Robert Bauval, legenda niezależnej egiptologii, oraz Graham Hancock, kontrowersyjny badacz prehistorii, na podstawie badań archeoastronomicznych dowodzą, że Sfinks jest o tysiące lat starszy, niż twierdzi współczesna nauka — powstał nie 2500 lat p.n.e., lecz 8000 lat wcześniej, na początku astronomicznej ery Lwa. Piramidy są dokładną gwiezdną mapą Pasa Oriona sprzed 12 500 lat, zamkniętą w 15 000 000 ton kamiennych bloków, niosącą przesłanie ich budowniczych. W mistrzowskim śledztwie Bauval i Hancock używają komputerowych symulacji, aby złamać starożytny gwiezdny szyfr zawarty w monumentach Gizy i reinterpretować Teksty Piramid oraz inne egipskie zapisy. Odkrycie otwiera drzwi do zaginionego rozdziału historii i nieznanych początków cywilizacji. W bestsellerze podano sensacyjne dowody istnienia zaginionej, wysokorozwiniętej cywilizacji, która dała początek wszystkim starożytnym kulturom. Kontynuując śledztwo, udowadnia, że globalny kataklizm nastąpił 12 000 lat temu, a ocaleli nieliczni nazywani byli magami bogów.

S Talizmanom sa zúčastníme na výnimočnom putovaní intelektu po neprechodených cestách histórie za kľúčmi skrývajúcimi sa v textoch, architektúre a monumentoch…, tajných náboženstiev, ktoré kedysi tvarovali svet. Autori, skutoční znalci vo svojich odboroch, putujú krížom krážom po svete za symbolmi, ktorým ľudia pripisovali a pripisujú až okultný význam, a mapujú udalosti spred tisícok rokov, aby ich konfrontovali so súčasnou vojnou, ktorú vedú teroristi. Objavujú tajnú históriu manipulácií a podvodov, ktoré zasahujú priamo do srdca súčasného svetového poriadku... a možno aj poriadku, čo ešte len príde. Pokúšajú sa odhaliť ,majstrovskú hru‘, ktorá sa začala hrať za scénou svetového javiska v dávnoveku a, ako sa nazdávajú, opäť sa dala do pohybu pred 2000 rokmi. Šírkou, kvalitou, objaviteľskou hodnotou autorskej práce a čitateľsky pútavým podaním je TALIZMAN v našom prostredí ojedinelá kniha.

Oberland dove alpinismo e turismo sono stati inventati. Il luogo dove tutto è cominciato. Questo libro è un viaggio tra cime, valli, villaggi e personaggi della Belle Époque cent’anni di sorprendente sviluppo economico e sociale, dalla metà del XIX alla metà del XX secolo, che hanno radicalmente mutato la percezione delle Alpi svizzere, facendone la locomotiva dell’industria turistica internazionale. Dalle prime spa ai grandi alberghi, fino all’invenzione di uno «stile alpino» artificiale che è diventato standard in tutto il mondo. E soprattutto con l’alpinismo, vero carburante di questo sviluppo, dalle conquiste della Golden Age alla corsa alle pareti nord degli anni Trenta. Nel nostro itinerario incontreremo i personaggi veri e di finzione, che sono stati protagonisti di questa storia, come Leslie Stephen, J.R.R. Tolkien, James Bond, Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, Sherlock Holmes, Paul Klee, Tartarino di Tarascona, Richard Wagner, Baden Powell e tanti altri che, con i loro talenti, aspirazioni, visioni, hanno rimodellato il cuore ghiacciato d’Europa.

Na základě poznatků vědy spekulují autoři o životě vyspělé prehistorické civilizace na planetě Mars. Podle různých poznatků moderní vědy a techniky (snímky Marsu, rozbor atmosféry, atd.) usuzují autoři, že na Marsu byl vyspělý život, který zmařila kosmická katastrofa. V závěru varují před podobným ohrožením naší Země.

Tödliches Goldfieber und Wissensdurst motivieren Schatzsucher wie Harold Lasseter, der im australischen Outback nach einem Goldriff sucht, sowie Gene Savoy und Graham Hancock, die in den Anden und an Küsten nach verlorenen Kulturen forschen. Abenteuerliche Geschichten mit beeindruckenden Ergebnissen!

Robert Bauval hatte herausgefunden, daß die rätselhaften Pyramidentexte konkrete Hinweise auf einen Sternenkult der alten Ägypter enthielten und daß die Anlage der Pyramiden von Gizeh ein Spiegelbild der Sternbilder Orion und Sirius um 2500 v. Chr. darstellt, samt dem Nil als Milchstraße. Aber – so mußte er sich fragen – was hatte die Große Sphinx in dieser Anlage zu suchen, ein Baudenkmal, dessen Ausrichtung keiner Sternenposition vor 4500 Jahren entspricht? Welcher Gottheit oder welchem Halbgott war das Fabelwesen zuzuordnen? Wie ist es zu erklären, daß der Menschenkopf der Sphinx von den Proportionen nicht zum Körper der Statue zu passen scheint? Wie alt ist die Sphinx von Gizeh wirklich – und was bedeutet sie? Bauval und Hancock stellten fest, daß die gigantische Statue in der Tat nach astronomischen Gesichtspunkten ausgerichtet ist; die passenden Daten sind allerdings nicht die der Zeit von 2500 v. Chr., sondern die von 10500 v. Chr. Ein weiteres Indiz sind die Verwitterungsspuren des Gesteins, die nur von andauernden Regenfällen herrühren können, wie es sie seit dem 9. Jahrtausend v. Chr. nicht mehr gegeben hat. Robert Bauval und Graham Hancock stellen ein überzeugendes und faszinierendes Erklärungsmodell vor, aus welcher noch älteren Zivilisation die ägyptische Kultur hervorgegangen sein könnte und welches Ereignis der Menschheitsgeschichte in der Sphinx sein Denkmal gefunden hat.
