FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS - book by Graham Hancock

Review by micheal sunanda, ‘97

This huge epic survey of prehistoric artifacts combines & compares many cultures myths & legends, avatars & religions, temples & rituals, buildings & structures, wars & conquests, current relics & archeology evidence on earth with many researchers into ancient evolution. Hancock presents in story form of humans mysterious history embeded in creation myths so similar in cataclysmic, we must consider a whole revision of our civilizations sources. The content is exciting our ancient awareness& revisioning our identity of who we really are on earth. He uses the cosmic code of the presession of the Equinox that changes thru the Zodiac syns every 2160 years to connect prehistoric civilizations. Its obveous that western hard science still denies how old we really were/are on earth continuing to evolve. Graham has simplified the ‘sacred math’ or numerology of ages on earth to explain rising & falling of many flooded cultures.

The massive evidence of ecotastrophies about 10,000 years ago fits most legends of cultures destruction. It richly describes & perhaps varifiesd the cooreleations, theories & conclusions of: Z. Sitchin, I. Velikovsky & C. Hapgood, & many others. They are all radical evolutionists into learning the old influences, patterns & systems of cultures, relating to Universe. I like his many questions & agree with most of his interpretations of stories about great floods, fires/volcanos, ice-ages, drouts, wars, planetary changes of orbits, equators, seasons & places in the sky. Graham traveled earth to sacred power spots to learn & sense what those cultures felt, believed or did to create gigantic temples so mysterious to us now. He visited the great pyramids of Eqypt, the giant field designs of Puruvian Andes mtns & structures(Macha Pichu) by ancient artists, The vast pyramids of Mexico & other sites, which could be created by earthians or ETs? But we mostly don’t even know who made them or how they constucted them, when built or why, all seem open to speculation.

“Fingerprints” also has many simple drawings & photos of Pyramids & stone-work of ancient cosmology, astrology & tooms of the pyramids, etc. He details his case for cosmic influence solidly, compelling us to believe our roots are univeral & natural, not what science, religion or history pushes that western civ began 5-10,000 yrs ago. 1,000s of mysteries on all continents may prove the reality of cosmic evolution in their agreements on cycles of time, age & evolution. This could be to the cosmic ‘90s millenium fevers of newagers what The Aquarian Conspiracy (Furgeson) was in l980s. Its excessive details can easily be skipped of you can question or understand cosmic changes without many history facts to prove global trends. He provides 100s of footnotes in appendix to varify sources & deepen the reference. It connects so many evolutionary patterns now, that all combined can destroy your faith in big sciences worldview of western, patriarchal science & religions that deny earths, use, sell & pollute earth &or kill destroy organic life in ecobalances of our natural earth energy. I am so encouraged by Hancocks conscious work to honestly question & reveal Gaias real evolution of us, our source is the universe, not apes, caves & slow/uniform/gradual evolution of history. He includes another the strong possibility of a coming pole-shift cataclysm that could happen to initiate us into the Age of Aquarius around 2000 Ad, the end of the old world, to wash our poisons away? This agrees in general with Mass Dreams of the Future by Chet Snow.
