The Quest continues

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The author presents a highly controversial view of history, suggesting the existence of a mysterious, lost civilisation that disseminated knowledge to various cultures around the globe, a theory which has captivated a vast audience. In this new large-format edition, Hancock addresses his critics and updates readers on the ongoing debate.

He uncovers the eerie network of connections between the Great Sphinx and pyramids of Egypt, the Andean temples of Tianhuanaco, the Mexican pyramids of the Sun and Moon, and the lost continent that lies beneath Antarctica. The book explores ancient knowledge of spherical geometry and astro-navigation, and examines myths and legends of humanity that have remained remarkably consistent across different geographical and social divisions. Additionally, it presents new theories regarding the causes of the ice ages.

Through the latest evidence, Hancock suggests not only the "fingerprints" of an unknown civilisation that thrived during the last ice age, but also reaches startling conclusions about the type and magnitude of planetary catastrophe needed to erase almost all traces of it. This edition includes the BBC transcripts from the Horizon TV documentary.
