In “Fingerprints of the Gods”, Graham Hancock sets out to prove that an advanced civilization once flourished on Earth but was destroyed by a cataclysmic event. Using evidence from archeology, history, and astronomy, he makes a compelling case for a lost civilization that may have been responsible for many of the world’s greatest mysteries. This riveting follow-up to his international bestseller delves even deeper into Hancock’s theories about who built Stonehenge, why Egyptian pyramids were constructed, and how signs of this long-lost culture are reflected in our own world today.
