Thats a book I keep meaning to read.

I've read Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock, can't recommend that enough. Heres a review from his website:

http://www.grahamhancock.com/library/fotg/default.htm

One of the intellectual landmarks of this decade."
Literary Review
On 6th July 1960 Lt Colonel Harold Ohlmeyer, a United States Airforce Commander, sent a reply to a letter from one Professor Charles Hapgood who had requested his opinion on a feature found on a map of 1513 AD called the Piri Reis Map. Lt Colonel Ohlmeyer's reply was a bombshell. The map, showing the coastline of the east coast of the Americas and the west coast of Africa, the Colonel remarked, also seemed to show the coastline of Queen Maud Land in Antarctica free of ice - a condition it had not been in for some 9000 years!

In fact, it is only in recent times that modern man has been able to map this coastline using sub-surface surveying techniques that can penetrate the ice sheet that lies on top of it.

Ohlmeyer had no idea how a map existing in the 16th century could have got hold of such knowledge.

This was one of the many mysteries that lead Graham to begin his epic journey into man's past that is Fingerprints of the Gods - and it is a mystery whose solution is mindblowing.

Travelling first to South and Meso-America, Graham finds evidence of myths of a white-skinned 'god' named Quetzalcoatl or 'Viracocha' who came from a drowned land bringing knowledge of farming and culture after a great flood. Tied in with these myths Graham begins to crack an ancient code imprinted in these ancient tales that refer to the 'great mill' of the heavens.

It is an astronomical code that deals with the position of the stars over vast periods of time - a code that reveals the ancients knew far, far more than they are generally credited with. Traces of the same code appear in Egyptian myth, and it is to this desert land that Graham and Santha travel, finding there haunting parallels in architecture and ritual to the New World sites they have just left behind.

Moreover, the whole layout of the Giza plateau seems to point to a date many thousands of years earlier than the date of its supposed construction - a date revealed in the astronomical alignments of the Pyramids, the 'mansions of a million years', home of the god Osiris, the bringer of agriculture to the Egyptians, like Quetzalcoatl, after a flood.

Could the Piri Reis maps be evidence for a previously unknown complex maritime civilisation, capable of mapping the globe? A global culture, cataclysmically destroyed at the end of the ice age, remnants of which survived the devastation to pass on their knowledge to the shaken world?

Were the figures of Osiris and Quetzalcoatl survivors of this lost race - passing down not only advanced geographical knowledge, but a secret astronomical code veiled in myth that pointed to the devastation in the past, and warned of that which is to come?

From the mysterious sites of Tiahuanaco and Teotihuacan, to the enduring enigmatic Sphinx and pyramids of Egypt, the grandiose Nazca lines of Peru to the stark primal beauty of the Osireion at Abydos, this is a journey both around the globe and into the heart of the true prehistoric origins of man. Part adventure, part detective story, this book will force you to revaluate your beliefs of the past.

Love your website by the way.

decent book, well worth reading

in my opinion fingerprints of the gods is a little better, however i haven't finished it yet

[lookfar]

I read it years ago before I really got into all this stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed it back then & would like to re-read it again to see if I get more from it.

Erich Von Daniken is one of my heroes, although he's guilty of making false claims and has admitted it. That said, I still believe his basic premise that extraterrestrials visited us thousands of years ago and changed the course of human evolution, either by manipulating us genetically or through teaching early man the basics of civilisation (a lot of good that did us! lol :) )

[lemonique]

I think that if we dug a little deeper we would find that Eric von Daniken was working for the PTB back in the seventies. The way he was pushed and promoted world wide in every media outlet makes me very suspicious. All was very quiet and then 'Boom' there he was!! :rolleyes:

Ding! He was also caught by channel 4 in the UK faking evidence by paying a South American potter money to make clay pots depicting alien craft, according to him to strengthen his hypothesis..

i've read chariots of the gods.. and i found it quite lacking. though interesting.

it seemed quite a bit of speculation, and not much hard evidence to back it up.

Anyone here read any book by W Raymond Drake?

I just about read all of daniken's books in the 70's,but a documentary years ago stated he had deliberately scratch lines onto a rock that were carbon-dated to just a few months.
since then ive not bothred with him.
but,in todays climate you could say the evidence was planted,but at the time he refused to deny any wrong doing...........which was enough for me,its a speculative subject to start with,any credence he had was lost to me.

i hadnt heard about that.. but even from a read through 'chariots' i could tell he was stretching info to fit his hypothesis.

i recently finished his book and i must say that way back in 70's this must have created waves. he has tried to explain many things and the good thing to note is that he said there is a lot to be learned from our ancestors and the history of our planet. he also said that we are just ants in the universe in front of the other life forms...so true. its a good read for anyone who wants to learn more about the UFO stuff. nothing concluded....its you who has to make conclusions.

[sunyatta60]

There are two ways of looking at Von Daniken firstly he could have been used to discredit the idea that we were seeded by intelligent beings who perphaps came from other star systems. Or he could have been telling the truth and his work was discredited by those with the power to do so. Any way I prefer to read what W. Raymond Drake had to say about it all!!!

Ditto. :)

I read Erich von Daniken books. He never actually said his theories were as he said they were but was open for interpretation. He also didn't want everyone to believe him but to make their minds up. I heard that Channel 4 (which is run by social degenerates) fabricated and hashed up the incident of "framing" Von Daniken. Notice how the establishment and mass media in general are against him?

[helloperator]

I read Chariots of the Gods over 15 years ago when I was in high school. I found it an intriguing book...but most people who saw me reading it laughed...and some people even got quite angry with it and me for reading it.

Looks like we go ourselves a reader!
