CORONET Magicians of the Gods: The Forgotten Wisdom of Earth's Lost Civilisation

This book will make you re-think and reconsider everything you have learnt about our history. It brings evidences and concrete proofs that all our past shall be reviewed. We constantly discover new things on the surface of the Earth, and we shall be open-minded enough to accept challenging the past stories that we took for granted.We may not be alone on Earth!You can also find Graham Hancock talking about his findings on "Lost Civilizations" series on Gaia.comGood read!

This book is the best I've ever read because the Graham Hancock as usual delves into high-level enlightenment info, touches reality, and it is far from unproven assumptions.

Book is damaged and creased on the cover

Pour ceux qui lisent l'Anglais, il s'agit ici d'un excellent ouvrage destiné à tous ceux qui sont lassés par les orthodoxies archéologiques actuelles aux explications souvent très lacunaires. L'auteur remet en question une partie de ces dogmes érigés en vérités non-discutables et propose des alternatives extrêmement bien renseignées. Ici, pas d'Ovnis ou d'extra-terrestres, l'auteur constate simplement des faits pour la plupart architecturaux, impossibles à réaliser avec les explications fournies par l'archéologie. Ces faits remettent en cause l'histoire telle qu'elle nous a été enseignée. Il démontre comment il y a 10.000 ans, nos ancêtres possédaient déjà des savoirs (architecture, agriculture, calcul, mathématiques...) dans une civilisation dont la progression a été interrompue par un soudain changement climatique dont les mythologies à travers le monde ont gardé des traces. Brillante démonstration scientifique, très bien écrite. Il existe une version en Français.

Who knows how it all went down in times past? Graham Hancock has really researched and written a fascinating book. It was quite intensely detailed in a couple of chapters, which I found hard to absorb all at once, but I'll revisit them when that information becomes pertinent. I also have the audio book. I think this is one of those unusual 'outside the square' and completely absorbing books that I'll read and listen to over and over again through the years. A great insight for those who question.

Hancock builds on his theories of an ancient undocumented civilization. Well written, well researched, gripping and believable.

I tend to be skeptical of a lot of alternative history--cobbled together, poorly researched, badly written, not very convincing. I bought this book anyway, because I had watched a Youtube video with Graham. Am I glad I did. I am a convert! Really well written, well researched, careful constructed argument. Hancock is a real investigative journalist of the best kind: open minded, tenacious, and an excellent storyteller. And even more: I am convinced of the importance of his argument and am re-thinking what I used to think was fact. It wasn't. Thank you, Graham Hancock!

Graham is an author with a hands on attitude to his research who utilises data from numerous sources (often compartmentalised areas of study) to form a ‘bigger picture’; thus he is not part of an academic group with dogmatic institutional positions and a vested interest in the status-quo. For those who question current trends and beliefs in archaeology/anthropology, education, history and social and physical environments, and who seek to engender a more open-minded discourse, Hancock’s books are a must. We need investigators operating out of the current academic structure to stimulate controversy and new vantage points of research.Graham writes with ease, universal appeal and with humanistic and scholarly integrity. Catastrophist theories and controversy have been circulating for years and it is vital that this topic is researched by investigators with competence and professionalism. He does not pretend to have all the answers or to state ‘truths’ but instead asks pertinent and timely questions, delving into hidden areas; he also is not afraid to critically analyse his earlier works. My only complaint is that the book ended too soon but this is dictated by ongoing discovery. Magicians of the Gods is 440 pages (not including Appendices) and also has excellent photos, maps and illustrations which I referred to frequently.There has been some talk about his foray into fiction, or accusations of his research being ‘fiction’; however, this ability to straddle both literary streams is an example of the highest sort of creativity and intelligence. Knowing when one writes fiction, verses exploring fact, is a good exercise in critical thinking. Considering some of the ‘fiction’ that currently masquerades as ‘fact’ in our society, people with the ability to write and delineate both with clear intent are invaluable.Exciting times, I am grateful to authors such as Graham who open new doors of analysis. His books, both non-fiction and fiction, are enjoyable and enlightening. I hope Graham remains unfettered in his creative research pursuits and look forward to his next endeavour.
