999 booksGraham Hancock, the author of the multi-million bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods, presents a sequel full of absolutely new and fascinating evidence that, like its predecessor, should be regarded as contradicting everything we know. Past 12,000 years ago…the Earth (like almost all planets) had been constantly hit by several comets—each one over a mile wide—that was coming from deep space (the next galaxy).
Some comets hit the North American ice cap and some hit the northern European ice cap. The impacts were so huge that they instantly liquidized millions of square kilometers of ice, resulting in enormous heat which melted hundreds of cubic miles of ice into water.
In Magicians of the Gods, Graham Hancock takes us on a journey to explore the wisdom of ancient civilizations. He suggests that these societies were far more advanced than we give them credit for, and we have a lot to learn from their knowledge and practices.
Hancock presents compelling evidence that cataclysmic events have shaped human history. He argues that a massive comet impact around 12,800 years ago wiped out advanced civilizations, forcing humanity into a 'reset'. This is a fascinating perspective to consider.
The book encourages us to look deeper into myths and symbols. Hancock believes that they are not just stories or designs, but coded messages from our ancestors. By decoding them, we can uncover lost knowledge and understand our past better.
Magicians of the Gods challenges mainstream historical narratives. Hancock urges us to question what we've been taught, dig deeper, and seek the truth. This book will make you see history in a new light.
One of the key messages from the book is the importance of keeping an open mind. Hancock's research and theories may seem unconventional, but they invite us to explore different perspectives and expand our understanding of the world.
