Magicians of the Gods | Free Book
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...
Near the end of the last Ice Age 12,800 years
ago, a giant comet that had entered the solar system from deep space
thousands of years earlier, broke into multiple fragments. Some of
these struck the Earth causing a global cataclysm on a scale unseen
since the extinction of the dinosaurs. At least eight of the
fragments hit the North American ice cap, while further fragments
hit the northern European ice cap. The impacts, from comet fragments
a mile wide approaching at more than 60,000 miles an hour, generated
huge amounts of heat which instantly liquidized millions of square
kilometers of ice, destabilizing the Earth's crust and causing the
global Deluge that is remembered in myths all around the world. A
second series of impacts, equally devastating, causing further
cataclysmic flooding, occurred 11,600 years ago, the exact date that
Plato gives for the destruction and submergence of Atlantis.
The evidence revealed in this book shows beyond
reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization that flourished
during the Ice Age was destroyed in the global cataclysms between
12,800 and 11,600 years ago. But there were survivors - known to
later cultures by names such as 'the Sages', 'the Magicians', 'the
Shining Ones', and 'the Mystery Teachers of Heaven'. They travelled
the world in their great ships doing all in their power to keep the
spark of civilization burning. They settled at key locations -
Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Baalbek in the Lebanon, Giza in Egypt,
ancient Sumer, Mexico, Peru and across the Pacific where a huge
pyramid has recently been discovered in Indonesia. Everywhere they
went these 'Magicians of the Gods' brought with them the memory of a
time when mankind had fallen out of harmony with the universe and
paid a heavy price. A memory and a warning to the future...
For
the comet that wrought such destruction between 12,800 and 11,600
years may not be done with us yet. Astronomers believe that a
20-mile wide 'dark' fragment of the original giant comet remains
hidden within its debris stream and threatens the Earth. An
astronomical message encoded at Gobekli Tepe, and in the Sphinx and
the pyramids of Egypt,warns that the 'Great Return' will occur in
our time...
In The Press
"Author Graham Hancock's new book Magicians of the Gods is a triumph
of investigation, intuition and interpretation. Deeply immersed in an
ocean of new scientific and archaeological discoveries and yet
prescient enough to conceive of humanity's mysterious development and
humble place in the universe, Hancock weaves a multidisciplinary
thread that connects oral traditions, the mystery of place and time
with contemporary scientific observations and evidence....A
masterpiece of penitentiary distillation, intuitive speculation and
multidisciplinary perspective, Magicians of the Gods comes with the
highest recommendation." - New Dawn on
Magicians of the Gods
“Ingenious.” —Kirkus Reviews on Magicians of the Gods
"Magicians of the Gods schools the attentive
reader in exotic locales and colourful (often thwarted) characters,
dusty ancient knowledge and pristine contemporary science and theory.
Hancock's passionate, detailed prose transports us around the globe
and across millennia in an accessible and direct manner.: -
