Magicians of the Gods
Sequel to the International Bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods
by:
Graham Hancock
in:
Ancient History
Summary:
The book presents the author's theory that a global cataclysm caused by a comet impact around 12,000 years ago led to the destruction of an advanced civilization, which he suggests is remembered in myths and monuments around the world. It explores archaeological sites and ancient texts to argue for a lost chapter in human history, suggesting that survivors of this civilization passed on their knowledge to hunter-gatherer societies, leading to the rapid rise of new civilizations.
Key points:
1. Hancock suggests that advanced civilizations existed before known human history, wiped out by a global disaster around 12,800 years ago.
