"I liked a lot of the information presented. Informative geology lessons, maps and astronomy. Also cool is the collection of repeated history, usually told through myths and/or religion.
However, he seems bent on waxing poetic about the places he visits in a way that severely detracts from my desire to keep reading. Also, he constantly repeats motifs and concepts, to where my head started to scream.
Also, he loves to ask rhetorical questions, and sets up a new chapter or sections with annoying questions that were based on hypotheses he just presented, or as a hackneyed approach to introducing the next topic. "Could it be that... Is it not possible that... But is it not possible that...?" Ugh.
I still recommend it. There is a lot of fun stuff. It sets a fair argument for the possibility - nay, plausibility - of lost advanced ancient cultures and their wisdom.
I just recommend you read other material to help flesh out alternative arguments and possibilities."

Fingerprints of the Gods The Evidence of Earth Lost Civilization eBook Graham Hancock Reviews
- So a little background, I have always been obsessed with unexplained phenomena. As a 10 year-old boy, I would walk to the public library and check out multiple books on the Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch, The Pyramids, Easter Island, etc.... It was just ingrained in me that if there was a TV show on about these types of things, or a book that just came out, I was all over it. There's my starting point. Lately, this stuff has been extremely in-style with the popularity of shows like Ancient Aliens. So believe me, I get it and I love it. Graham Hancock is a guy that comes across as one of the more measured and if you will "less crazy" purveyors of ancient phenomena. Everybody knows Giorgio Tsoukalos because of the crazy hair and the bombastic statements. Hancock is sort of the professorial-looking dude who actually looks and sounds like he knows what he's talking about. So it was with great pleasure that I came across Fingerprints of the Gods. It is a book that has been out for some 20 odd years but I never got around to checking it out. Well all I will say is that if you love finding out a lot about the ruins of Machu Pichu, the mysterious Nazca Lines of Peru, how Antarctica was at one time not covered with ice and mapped out this way by explorers as recently as 600 years ago, the ancient pyramids of Giza, Easter Island, etc.... then you need to read this book. Hancock does a great job of presenting his theories while never portraying them as the only definitive answer. I had a lot of fun reading each chapter and then going online to "fact-check" what Graham had just presented. Of course the orthodox historians had perfectly reasonable explanations and also more believable ones, but it was very entertaining to compare the two schools of thought. I'm not naive, I know that Hancock's theories are simply to spark the imagination and most-likely pretty far from the actual truth. This doesn't mean that I didn't get a heck of a lot of enjoyment out of reading Fingerprints of the Gods though. Just take it with a grain of salt. But if you are into this kind of thing, this is about as good as it gets. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel Magicians of the Gods.
- I somehow missed out on this book at the time that it became a massive global bestseller. I discovered it only recently and am now fascinated with the idea that mankind built a complex global civilization before the Clovis Comet disaster brought it to an end about 13,000 years ago. Even mainstream science is beginning to admit that mankind and his civilization are far more ancient than previously thought. Many thanks to Mr. Hancock, who has endured decades of abuse for his popularization of these ideas and for his ground-breaking work in finding underwater physical evidence to support them.
- Loved it. It made me very interested in history to a point that I decided to go to Egypt and see all the ancient sites for myself.
I has been about a year since I last read it so my memory of its exact content is dim.
The only criticism I can think of for it is that there was a moment or two in the book where he presents data about different ancient cultures and proceeds to use the similarities within them to suggest a hypothesis.This is actually the majority of the book and they are always very well thought out and valid points. There were only I a couple of moments where I felt that an idea of his(Hancock) was a stretch. I have no academic background myself so I just went by a gut feeling.
Other than that I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book of any kind.
The scenes are engaging. Its thrilling to learn about ancient history and even more thrilling to see different ways it could be looked at. - I liked a lot of the information presented. Informative geology lessons, maps and astronomy. Also cool is the collection of repeated history, usually told through myths and/or religion.
However, he seems bent on waxing poetic about the places he visits in a way that severely detracts from my desire to keep reading. Also, he constantly repeats motifs and concepts, to where my head started to scream.
Also, he loves to ask rhetorical questions, and sets up a new chapter or sections with annoying questions that were based on hypotheses he just presented, or as a hackneyed approach to introducing the next topic. "Could it be that... Is it not possible that... But is it not possible that...?" Ugh.
I still recommend it. There is a lot of fun stuff. It sets a fair argument for the possibility - nay, plausibility - of lost advanced ancient cultures and their wisdom.
I just recommend you read other material to help flesh out alternative arguments and possibilities. - I'm about half way thru and it's all questions and zero answers (or theories for that matter).
The structure of the book, so far, looks more or less like that
