## Description

The Instant New York Times Bestseller! Was an advanced civilization lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age? Graham Hancock, the internationally bestsel

Review: Keeps you reading - and that is what a well written and researched book does - I have just finished this book and have now gone back to the author's earlier works. I have found America Before amazingly interesting with depth, great research and very insightful into how some academics, despite being wrong, hold sway over various theories till someone stronger and better comes along armed with a vast repository of evidence which sweeps away the wrongful long held beliefs. It is refreshing to read about ancient north and south American prehistory and drawing on similar beliefs from other ancient cultures such as ancient Egypt. In my opinion, time is well spent reading this book and learning about a deeper and more ancient past than we have ever been told about.
Review: An excellet and well researched update to the series. - I can highly recommend this latest book from Graham Hancock. A worthy addition to the other major works in the ‘series’, it presents much new material and updates important evidential research. The main, and hugely important, aspect of the series of books commencing with ‘Fingerprints’ is the way they draw together cutting edge research, and dust off half-forgotten anomalies across a multitude of disciplines, and present it for the educated layman, and perhaps some more open-minded academics too, in an intriguing and very readable way. Hancock need not be fearful of losing a comfortable academic sinecure, research grants and the possibility being quietly replaced by someone a little more ‘sound’… The books often read like a classic “who-dunnit” and this one is no exception. In the absence of a ‘United Nations’ of academia to openly and fearlessly correlate and cross fertilise areas of research, these books tie together outstanding, provocative and insightful studies of what and why things might appear as they, often ideas which are casualties of hierarchical academic conservatism, yes there is a degree of speculation, but it is, in my own opinion, invariably perceptive and sound. The chapters ‘Eloise’, ‘Fire and Ice’ and ‘Cape Fear’ in America One are remarkable expositions – and very happy that they pose a solution to the demise of the Beresovka mammoth (qv), even if it may not be contemporaneous with the YDIH event… worth a book in their own right! I differ with GH on some points along the way, as in this last book for example. I concede there would logically have been important ‘hubs’, but the idea of the Lost Culture as a centralised state with a ‘homeland’, I have long thought unlikely… it seems to me this civilisation, almost totally obliterated, was probably poly-cultural, was probably primarily coastal, and that this is how humans spread around the planet, an idea GH has already covered in ‘Underworld’… but we must keep open minds. See what you think! CK

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A world we barely know
*by A***O on 3 August 2022*

Again Graham Hancock blows our minds with a collation of the most recent evidence of ancient human activities on the third rock from the sun. Gobekli Tepe alone should be enough to convince anyone that our ancient ancestors were incredibly skilled, astonishingly motivated and cosmically sophisticated people. It has taken almost 12000 years for humans to rise from the rubble again after the Younger Dryas impact. Why did it take so long if we assume that humans are no more intelligent today than they were 12000 years ago? I suspect it's because consistent, high quality leadership is so rare that human flourishing is retarded for millenia. We really need to dedicate global resources to preparing for the next dinosaur killer but we can't even transcend our petty tribalism. I guess an occasional impactor gives biodiversity a chance to re-establish.
