The author of a controversial new book claims a
comet struck the Earth nearly 13,000 years ago and wiped out a highly advanced
ancient civilisation. When Graham Hancock wrote Fingerprints of the Gods, it
was derided by academics but became a commercial sensation. He argued an
ancient culture in Antarctica was obliterated - but subjects such as astronomy
and mathematics were passed to later civilisations. Despite selling an
estimated 3m copies, a BBC Horizon programme sought to demolish his theory. Paul
V Heinrich, a US geologist, wrote: “Rather than stumbling upon an
archaeological mystery, he has merely created one.” "A series of papers in geophysics and
geological journals have been bringing forward evidence that the Earth was
indeed hit by a comet 12,800 years ago, which is exactly what I proposed in my
book."
Now, 20 years later, he is set to publish a
500-page sequel - Magicians of the Gods - that he believes will prove his
critics wrong. Citing scientific and archaeological research, Hancock, a former
journalist, told the Sunday Times: "In 1995, I wrote a book about all the
clues — the fingerprints — that pointed to the existence of this lost
civilisation. "But what I lacked
was a smoking gun. Now we have it. Hancock argues that the existence of the
comet has been masked because it struck ice and did not leave a crater. May 17

Hancock is a British writer and journalist. Hancock specialises in
unconventional theories involving ancient civilisations, stone monuments or
megaliths, altered states of consciousness, ancient myths and astronomical/astrological
data from the past. One of the main themes running through many of his books is
a posited global connection with a "mother culture" from which he
believes all ancient historical civilisations sprang.
In two recent
blogposts [1][2], I have indicated how
the current New Moon and its activation of the Mars-Saturn-Admetus axis is
fuelling reports of meteorite or asteroid crashes.
Given below is an
extract from a previous post [1] on this combination:
With Mars linked
to energy in motion and Saturn with resistance or obstacles, Mars opposite Saturn can represent a fast
moving object suddenly crashing into the earth. With Mars is the TNP Admetus
often associated with rocks and boulders but which with a little stretch can
include meteorites. Among events for the stars that form the backdrop to the
Sun and Admetus on the MC [27ta], Diana Rosenberg lists “meteorite falls”.
Here too we
find that the New Moon at London is placed on the horizon axis and since it
carries the same theme, we have Hancock’s claim of an asteroid hitting the
earth 13,0000 years ago. Additionally, the presence of the TNP Admetus in the
mix is here referring to the Antartic ice [3].
