This beautiful relief, pregnant with meaning, is located on the north wall of the Hypostyle Hall in the Great Temple of Amon at Karnak in Upper Egypt...

Beautiful and deeply touching story. Our much vaunted technological civilization behaves as though the Earth is just dead matter conveniently lying around for exploitation by humans, and as though all life on earth — except human life — is “unconscious”. What nonsense! Consciousness, sentience and spirit are everywhere, including in […]

4 scintillating minutes from the late, great, Terence McKenna, one of the very finest and most original minds of our times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGSq0BCXaiw Listen past the fun bit on trilobites to around 1 min 27 secs in where he makes a really important point about personality cults and gurus: “I know […]

Since Fingerprints of the Gods (published in 1995) I have maintained that embedded in certain ancient maps – notably the so-called Portolan Charts of the 13th to 15th centuries AD – are accurate representations of geographical features that no longer existed when the maps were made but that were present […]

Important interview here with leading astronomer Dr Bill Napier of the Cardiff University Centre for Astrobiology: http://bit.ly/1KSKMAt QUOTE from Dr Napier: “The evidence, decades-old now and not even controversial amongst the comet community, [is] that an exceptionally large, low-inclination, short-period comet has been orbiting in our neighbourhood for about 20,000 […]

When Magicians of the Gods was published in the UK on 10 September, I was mocked in the national media because the book references the serious suggestions of a number of astronomers that our planet is in real and present danger of an encounter with the fragments of a giant […]

In my new book Magicians of the Gods I make the case, based on extensive and recent science, that fragments of a very large comet hit the earth 12,800 years ago unleashing an extinction-level global cataclysm that destroyed an advanced civilization of prehistoric antiquity. I present the arguments of astronomers […]

The photograph shows the constellation of Orion rising before dawn over the megaliths of Karahunj, Armenia. The three stars of Orion’s belt can be seen standing almost vertical in the sky above the tip of the menhir just to the right of center in the photograph. Apologies if the reproduction […]

CRASH! BANG! RUMBLE! Do you hear those sounds? Faintly? In the distance? Just audible over outraged yells and howls of protest? Those are the sounds of the house of history collapsing and the furious yells and howls are from the archaeological establishment trying to drown out the truth with their […]

A gigantic cosmic impact, when large fragments of a disintegrating comet hit the North American ice cap approximately 12,800 years ago, is identified in my forthcoming book “Magicians of the Gods” as the smoking gun that sparked off a global cataclysm of flood and fire in which an advanced civilization […]

I’ve been writing books for almost 35 years. My first was “Journey Through Pakistan”, published in 1982, and the latest is “Magicians of the Gods” which is published on 10 September in the UK and 10 November in the US. I suppose I should be used to the whole process […]

Egyptologists frequently pour scorn on alternative researchers calling them "pseudoscientists" and "pyramidiots" and other such insulting epithets...

This is taken from the introduction of The Divine Spark: A Graham Hancock Reader: Psychedelics, Consciousness, and the Birth of Civilization.

Happy December Solstice, shortest day in the northern hemisphere, longest day in the southern hemisphere. Isn’t our planet amazing! The ancients built temples that celebrated the sacred union of earth and sky at certain special moments. Santha’s photograph, taken at dawn on the December solstice a few years ago, shows […]
