Hancock's extraordinary findings form the core of what could be an intellectual revolution, a dramatic and irreversible change in how we understand our past - and thus ourselves. But there is something more: a warning. Some of the most disturbing issues raised by Fingerprints of the Gods concern the type and extent of the planetary catastrophe that would have had to occur to obliterate almost all traces of a large civilization. The evidence for such a catastrophe, and indeed for more than one of them, is surprisingly strong. If they have happened before..."

The book explores various theories and evidence suggesting that advanced civilizations existed in prehistoric times and played a significant role in the development of human history.

Hancock presents a compelling argument that challenges mainstream historical and archaeological narratives. He delves into ancient monuments and archaeological sites worldwide, examining their construction, alignment, and astronomical significance. Hancock proposes that these structures, such as the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, and the ruins of South America, were built by an advanced civilization that predates known civilizations.

The overall condition of this book is good despite being nearly 30 years old. The covers have some shelf wear and age, with some rubbing and sunning here and there, but they still display very well. There is a gift inscription on the front free endpaper. The interior pages are naturally age-toned but remain well-preserved.

The book also explores the possibility of a lost civilization wiped out by a cataclysmic event, such as a global flood. Hancock draws parallels between various mythologies and flood stories from different cultures, suggesting a common origin and an ancient global civilization.

"Fingerprints of the Gods" combines historical research, scientific evidence, and the author's own experiences and investigations to present an alternative perspective on human history and the origins of civilization. The book has garnered praise and controversy, sparking debates among scholars and readers interested in ancient mysteries and alternative interpretations of our past.

"In Fingerprints of the Gods (1995,) Graham Hancock embarks on a worldwide quest to put together the pieces of a vast and mysterious jigsaw puzzle of humanity's forgotten prehistory. In ancient ruins as far apart as Egypt's Great Sphinx, the strange Andean temples at Tiahuanaco, and Mexico's awe-inspiring Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, he reveals not only the unmistakable fingerprints of an unknown people who flourished during the last ice age but also disquieting signs of high intelligence, technological sophistication and detailed scientific knowledge of the cosmos eons before any previously known civilization. Through the memory banks of universal myth and legend - which store much of our species' prehistoric records - Hancock uncovers traces of a precise scientific language, encoding the results of thousands of years of accurate astronomical observations.

He studies ancient maps, incorporating spherical trigonometry, showing how the earth would have looked 12,000 years ago - and with accuracy not achieved by our cartographers until the nineteenth century. Finally, he uses the most up-to-date techniques of geology and astronomy to show that the conventionally accepted dating of several intriguing archaeological sites worldwide cannot possibly be correct and that they must be considered far, far older than was previously thought."

"Graham Hancock's obsession has led him to give up nine years of his life to track down the exact location of the Ark' of the Covenant... The obsession is well worth sharing. The excitement is nail-biting."
Sunday Express

Synopsis

Fingerprints of the Gods is a book first published in 1995 by Graham Hancock, in which he contends that some previously enigmatic ancient but highly-advanced civilization had existed in prehistory, one which served as the common progenitor civilization to all subsequent known ancient historical ones. Supposedly, sometime after the end of the last Ice Age this civilization passed on to its inheritors profound knowledge of such things as astronomy, architecture and mathematics.
