Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind
Graham Hancock
In 'Supernatural', Graham Hancock delves into the mysterious transformation in human history that occurred around 50,000 years ago, when humans suddenly developed art, religion, sophisticated symbolism, and innovative thinking. Hancock's journey takes him from the prehistoric painted caves of Europe and South Africa to the Amazon rainforest, where he investigates the influence of hallucinogens like Ayahuasca and other psychotropic substances on the evolution of the human mind. He explores the possibility that these substances may allow access to other dimensions and that the 'supernatural beings' depicted in ancient art could be real entities that have guided human development. The book also considers the idea that human evolution may be more purposeful and intelligent than the random process described by Darwin[2][4][5].
Sign and the Seal
Graham Hancock
In this book, Graham Hancock embarks on a decade-long quest to uncover the truth behind the legends of the Ark of the Covenant. He explores various historical and mythological sources, including the Knights Templar, the Holy Grail, and Ethiopian traditions. Hancock proposes that the Ark was removed from Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem and eventually brought to Ethiopia, where it is believed to be kept in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Axum. The book combines elements of scholarship, adventure, and mystery, tying together intriguing tales from different historical and mythological contexts.
Life itself
Its Origin and Nature
Francis Crick
In 'Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature,' Francis Crick delves into the fundamental question of how life originated on Earth. Crick advances the hypothesis of 'Directed Panspermia,' suggesting that life on Earth may have been deliberately seeded by an alien civilization. He argues that the uniformity of the genetic code across all living organisms on Earth is a strong indicator that life may not have emerged spontaneously. The book also touches on astrobiology, the Fermi paradox, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), providing a broad and speculative view on the origins of life[1][3][5].
The British writer Graham Hancock, has had a great deal of pejorative terms affixed to his name; chiefly among them are pseudoarchaeologist and psuedohistorian. But Hancock doesn't claim to be in possession of any special knowledge, merely that he is fascinated by the questions science and history struggle to answer. His vast knowledge on the intricacies of the Egyptian pyramids, to his mind, only makes one more sure that we don't fully understand them.
Tonight, Piers Morgan holds Hancock to account, who in turn, deftly backs up his position that humanity has much more to learn.They discuss history, god, spirits and more.
