New Releases by Graham Hancock

UNA INVESTIGACIÓN FASCINANTE Y CONTROVERTIDA SOBRE LOS MISTERIOS DE NUESTRO PASADO ¿Es posible que la historia de la humanidad se remonte mucho más atrás en el tiempo de lo que creíamos? UNA INVESTIGACIÓN FASCINANTE Y CONTROVERTIDA SOBRE LOS MISTERIOS DE NUESTRO PASADO ¿Es posible que la historia de la humanidad se remonte mucho más atrás en el tiempo de lo que creíamos? Mediante el uso de herramientas tan variadas como la arqueoastronomía, la geología y el análisis informático de mitos antiguos, Graham Hancock presenta argumentos convincentes para sugerir que sí lo es. En Las huellas de los dioses, Hancock se embarca en una búsqueda por todo el mundo para reunir las piezas del vasto y fascinante rompecabezas del pasado oculto de la humanidad. Monumentos antiguos y tan distantes entre sí como la Gran Esfinge de Egipto, las extrañas ruinas andinas de Tihuanaco y los sobrecogedores Templos del Sol y de la Luna de México, revelan no solo las claras huellas dactilares de una civilización aún no identificada de la más remota antigüedad, sino también sorprendentes pruebas de su enorme sofisticación, sus avances tecnológicos y sus evolucionados conocimientos científicos. Y algo más. A medida que descubrimos la verdad sobre la prehistoria y conocemos el verdadero significado de los antiguos mitos y monumentos que aún siguen en pie en todo el mundo, resulta evidente que se trata de advertencias sobre un terrible cataclismo que afecta a la Tierra en grandes ciclos a intervalos irregulares de tiempo… y que podría estar a punto de repetirse.

Conquistador Hernán Cortés je pevně odhodlán ovládnout Mexiko a získat zlato Aztéků. Zničil už Maye u Potonchanu a nyní táhne na Tenochtitlán, aztécké zlaté hlavní město. Obklopuje ho aura boha, který se podle proroctví měl vrátit a pomstít se. Jeho malá výprava pouhých pěti set Španělů bude čelit dvousettisícové armádě pološíleného vládce Montezumy. Cortés se pouští do psychologické hry nervů, aby ještě před tím, než se střetnou armády, podlomil Montezumovo sebevědomí - a v tomto boji není sám. Pomáhají mu mayská princezna Malinal, jež ho zasvětí do proroctví o návratu Opeřeného hada, a její přítelkyně, mladá čarodějka Tozi, která se snaží vyvolat rozkol mezi Mexiky. Souboj nervů, strategií, brutální vojenské síly i citů nabírá na obrátkách a spěje k vyvrcholení... Prostřední díl trilogie opět kombinuje velkolepý historický příběh největšího střetu civilizací v dějinách s prvky fantasy a milostné romance.

Cerca del final de la última Edad del Hielo, hace 12.000 años, un gigantesco cometa que había entrado en el sistema solar desde las profundidades del espacio miles de años antes se rompió en múltiples fragmentos. Algunos chocaron contra la Tierra, originando un cataclismo global a una escala nunca vista desde la extinción de los dinosaurios. Al menos ocho de los fragmentos cayeron en el casquete polar norteamericano y otros más en el casquete polar europeo. Una segunda serie de impactos tuvieron lugar hace 11.6000 años, la fecha exacta que da Platón para la destrucción y hundimiento de la Atlántida. Las evidencias reveladas en este libro demuestran más allá de cualquier duda razonable que una civilización avanzada floreció durante la Edad del Hielo y fue destruida por un cataclismo global hace entre 12.800 y 11.600 años. Sin embargo, hubo supervivientes, conocidos para culturas posteriores como «los sabios», «los magos», «los que brillan» y «los misteriosos maestros de los cielos». Viajaron por el mundo en sus grandes barcos haciendo todo lo que estaba en su poder para mantener viva la llama dela civilización. Se asentaron en puntos clave: Göbekli Tepe (Turquía), Baalbeck (Líbano), Guiza (Egipto), la antigua Súmer, México, Perú y el Pacífico, donde recientemente se ha descubierto una inmensa pirámide en Indonesia. A donde quiera que iban, estos «magos de los dioses» llevaban consigo el recuerdo de una época en la cual la humanidad había perdido su armonía con el universo y pagado un elevado precio por ello.

DOPO IMPRONTE DEGLI DEI, 10 MILIONI DI COPIE VENDUTE NEL MONDO, L'ATTESISSIMO NUOVO BESTSELLER DI GRAHAM HANCOCK Vent’anni fa Graham Hancock ha scritto «Impronte degli dèi», un libro che esamina in una chiave rivoluzionaria il passato dell’umanità aprendo la strada a un nuovo concetto di archeologia. Da subito un bestseller, nel corso degli anni ha venduto 9 milioni di copie. Nel ventesimo anniversario della pubblicazione, esce «Il ritorno degli dèi», frutto di anni di ricerche che hanno portato a scoperte sensazionali su quella civiltà perduta che Hancock aveva ipotizzato in «Impronte degli dèi». Le più recenti scoperte scientifiche e archeologiche sembrano infatti confermare la teoria «eretica» di Hancock di un cataclisma apocalittico dovuto alla collisione del nostro pianeta con una cometa fra 13 mila e 12 mila anni fa, alla fine dell’ultima glaciazione, e che ha spazzato via «quasi» ogni traccia di una civiltà avanzata diffusa su tutta la Terra. Nel «Ritorno degli dèi» Hancock identifica e documenta le tracce che dimostrano l’esistenza di questa civiltà e si pone in una prospettiva nuova riguardo all’eredità del passato. Per ricominciare siamo stati aiutati e guidati dagli «dèi Costruttori», i Sapienti sopravvissuti all’epoca antidiluviana che tramandando alle generazioni future tradizioni e sapienza derivanti da un’epoca precedente riuscirono a rinnovarsi, come la mitica fenice. La loro missione non fu però soltanto quella di consegnarci il patrimonio di conoscenze con cui ricominciare, ma anche di lasciarci un messaggio: sarebbe successo ancora. Un nuovo cataclisma incomberà sulla Terra e il «ritorno della fenice», a cui sono da sempre associati distruzione e rinnovamento, avverrà proprio nei nostri tempi, un possibile futuro che dobbiamo prepararci ad affrontare.

La gran epopeya sobre la conquista de México de la mano de uno de los autores más aclamados del género, traducido a veintisiete idiomas y con más de cinco millones de ejemplares vendidos. Tenochtitlán, 1519. Moctezuma reina sobre un imperio que es temido y odiado por el resto de las naciones aborígenes de la región, súbditas de los aztecas y obligadas a entregar jóvenes para los sangrientos sacrificios con que aquellos rinden tributo al dios de la guerra Huitzilopochtli. El poder del imperio azteca parece invencible, pero la rebelión se está fomentando lentamente, ayudada por los rumores de que hombres de piel clara, barba y armas tan extrañas como letales se aproximan a la cuidad. Tozi es una muchacha de catorce años, con extraños poderes sobrenaturales, que ha sido apresada por los aztecas y espera en una celda a que le llegue el turno de ser sacrificada. Coyolt es un niño de seis años y compañero de cautiverio. Pepillo es un joven que se prepara para embarcarse en una expedición a México desde la colonia española de Cuba. Los tres convergerán en esta historia épica que narra el apasionado y brutal choque de dos imperios.

A compelling brew of mystery, crime, and science revealing the details behind the search for the lost Ark of the Covenant. The Lost Ark of the Covenant is one of the great historical mysteries of all time. To believers, the Ark is the legendary vessel holding the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Bible contains hundreds of references to the Ark's power to level mountains, destroy armies, and lay waste to cities. The Ark itself, however, mysteriously disappears from recorded history sometime after the building of the Temple of Solomon. After ten years of searching through the dusty archives of Europe and the Middle East, as well as braving the real-life dangers of a bloody civil war in Ethiopia, Graham Hancock has succeeded where scores of others have failed. This intrepid journalist tracked down the true story behind the myths and legends--revealing where the Ark is today, how it got there, and why it remains hidden. Part fascinating scholarship and part entertaining adventure yarn, tying together some of the most intriguing tales of all time--from the Knights Templar and Prester John to Parsival and the Holy Grail--this book will appeal to anyone fascinated by the revelation of hidden truths, the discovery of secret mysteries.

Los Angeles, terzo millennio della nostra era: Leoni, un’adolescente ribelle finisce in overdose e sperimenta un’esperienza di premorte. La sua anima viene catapultata in una realtà parallela collocata nel passato di 24.000 anni fa. Qui il suo destino si lega indissolubilmente a quello di Ria, una giovane donna dell’Età della Pietra nel pieno della sua battaglia contro i feroci Illimani, un popolo guidato da Sulpa, il potente demone deciso a distruggere l’umanità. Mentre i guerrieri condotti da Ria stanno per soccombere all’impeto del nemico spietato, Sulpa muove i suoi passi verso lo scopo finale: manifestarsi fisicamente nel ventunesimo secolo per condannare l’umanità alla schiavitù perenne. L’ora è ormai vicina e ogni speranza sembra perduta. Ma forse non del tutto se Leoni e Ria, come è scritto nel loro destino, riusciranno a unirsi al di fuori del flusso del tempo e, avventurandosi oltre i confini del conoscibile, a combattere la loro grande battaglia finale...

"[A] solid, fast-moving, metaphysical time-travel tale." —Library Journal Graham Hancock has spent decades researching and writing some of the most ambitious and successful nonfiction investigations into ancient civilizations and wisdom. Entangled uses all of Hancock's skills and knowledge to propel a fantasy adventure like nothing else preceding it. Entangled is a timeslip novel alternating between present day California, Brazil, and prehistoric Spain, with two teenage female protagonists who must come together to avert an incredibly bloodthirsty takeover of the human race. It is the story of an unrelentingly evil master magician named Sulpa who is on the loose and determined to destroy humanity. Leoni, a troubled teen from modern day Los Angeles, and Ria, a young woman who lives in Stone Age Spain, meet in a parallel dimension outside the flow of time to stop Sulpa's spectacular, deadly materialization of the modern world. Originally written as the first of trilogy that never came to be, Entangled can be enjoyed by fans of parallel dimensions and imaginary worlds and will have resonate with readers of Philip Pullman, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Kate Mosse, among others. Entangled has the added merit of being grounded in solid anthropological and scientific research. Hancock calls on his years of research into cutting edge issues, including the "Neanderthal Enigma," the nature of consciousness, the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics, parallel realms, time travel, and near death and out-of-body experiences.

An asteroid transformed Mars from a lush planet with rivers and oceans into a bleak and icy hell. Is Earth condemned to the same fate, or can we protect ourselves and our planet from extinction? In his most riveting and revealing book yet, Graham Hancock examines the evidence that the barren Red Planet was once home to a lush environment of flowing rivers, lakes, and oceans. Could Mars have sustained life and civilization? Megaliths found on the parched shores of Cydonia, a former Martian ocean, mirror the geometrical conventions of the pyramids at Egypt's Giza necropolis. Especially startling is a Sphinx-like structure depicting a face with distinguishable diadem, teeth, mouth and an Egyptian-style headdress. Might there be a connection between the structures of Egypt and those of Mars? Why does NASA continue to dismiss these remarkable anomalies as "a trick of light"? Hancock points to the intriguing possibility that ancient Martian civilization is communicating with us through the remarkable structures it left behind. In exploring the possible traces left by the Martian civilization and the cosmic cataclysm that may have ended it, The Mars Mystery is both an illumination of our ancient past and a warning--that we still have time to heed--about our ultimate fate.

What secrets lie beneath the deep blue sea? Underworld takes you on a remarkable journey to the bottom of the ocean in a thrilling hunt for ancient ruins that have never been found—until now. Graham Hancock is featured in Ancient Apocalypse, a Netflix original docuseries In this explosive new work of archaeological detection, bestselling author and renowned explorer Graham Hancock embarks on a captivating underwater voyage to find the ruins of a mythical lost civilization hidden for thousands of years beneath the world’s oceans. Guided by cutting-edge science, innovative computer-mapping techniques, and the latest archaeological scholarship, Hancock examines the mystery at the end of the last Ice Age and delivers astonishing revelations that challenge our long-held views about the existence of a sunken universe built on the ocean floor. Filled with exhilarating accounts of his own participation in dives off the coast of Japan, as well as in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Arabian Sea, we watch as Hancock discovers underwater ruins exactly where the ancient myths say they should be—submerged kingdoms that archaeologists never thought existed. You will be captivated by Underworld, a provocative book that is both a compelling piece of hard evidence for a fascinating forgotten episode in human history and a completely new explanation for the origins of civilization as we know it.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Two Egypt experts posit a revolutionary theory: The Sphinx and other great Egyptian monuments are older than common history books tell us and are arranged in such a way as to send us a message from the silent past. Graham Hancock is featured in Ancient Apocalypse, a Netflix original docuseries Guardian of the ancient mysteries, the keeper of secrets . . . For thousands of years the Great Sphinx of Egypt has gazed toward the east, its eyes focused on eternity, reading a message in the stars that mankind has long forgotten. And today as our civilization stands poised at the end of a great cycle, it is a message that beckons insistently to be understood. All the clues are in place. Geology and archeo-astronomy have already indicated that the lion-bodied Sphinx may be vastly older than Egyptologists currently believe, dating not from 2500 B.C., but from 10,500 B.C.—the beginning of the astrological Age of Leo. And we now know that the three pyramids of Giza, standing on high ground half a mile to the west of the Sphinx, are in fact a precise map of the three stars of Orion’s belt, formed in fifteen million tons of solid stone. Are these monuments trying to tell us something? And, if so, what? In The Message of the Sphinx, Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock present a tour de force of historical and scientific detective work that unravels the millennial code embodied in these structures. Using sophisticated computer simulations of ancient skies, they unravel the riddle of the Sphinx, and they present a startling new theory concerning the enigmatic Pyramid Texts and other archaic Egyptian scriptures. Their discoveries lead the authors to this question: Does mankind have a rendezvous with destiny—a rendezvous not in the future, but in the distant past, at a precise place and time? The secrets can be kept no longer. The Message of the Sphinx brings them to light.

Publisher’s Note: A new, expanded edition has replaced this book under the new title Visionary: The Mysterious Origins of Human Consciousness, ISBN 9781637480069 This definitive edition includes a new Introduction by Graham Hancock as well as restored chapters that were omitted from the original paperback release. Less than fifty thousand years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "beforeandafter moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind. His quest takes him on a detective journey from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds extraordinary Stone Age art. He uncovers clues that lead him to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful hallucinogen Ayahuasca with shamans, whose paintings contain images of "supernatural beings" identical to the animalhuman hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other "dimensions." Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted caves be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent that we have barely begun to understand?

Betoogd wordt dat de sfinx van Gizeh en de grote piramide sporen van een verdwenen en vergeten beschaving zijn die over een buitengewone astronomische en planetaire kennis beschikte en technische hoogstandjes kon verrichten..

As we recover the truth about prehistory, and discover the real meaning of ancient myths and monuments, it becomes apparent that a warning has been handed down to us, a warning of terrible cataclysm that afflicts the Earth in great cycles at irregular intervals of time. A cataclysm that may be about to recur.

Mars est sans aucun doute la planète du système solaire qui a exercé le plus de fascination sur les hommes. Loin de dissiper le mystère, les clichés pris par les dernières missions spatiales ont en effet fait apparaître son histoire tourmentée : Mars est une planète " assassinée ", coupée en deux par une gigantesque faille, pourvue d'un hémisphère dépecé, et d'un autre marqué par de nets cratères d'impacts. Sans parler des reliefs de la plaine de Cydonia, dont l'origine naturelle est fortement contestée, et au sein desquels se détache le célèbre " visage " tourné vers le ciel... Le mystère de Mars, c'est celui d'une vie dont nul aujourd'hui ne peut dire si elle a totalement disparu. En revanche, de multiples observations permettent d'affirmer qu'elle a existé, sans doute jusqu'à une période assez récente, comme l'eau dont elle est issue. Certains indices laisseraient même supposer que Mars a jadis abrité une civilisation dont les témoignages architecturaux constituent une sorte de message destiné aux humains. La Terre est-elle menacée d'une catastrophe similaire à celle qu'a connue Mars ? L'étude du système solaire laisse justement penser que la chute d'une comète est plus imminente qu'on le croit... Faut-il ignorer ce danger potentiel ? Mars détient-elle la clé qui nous permettra d'échapper à un cataclysme ? Riche en données scientifiques et en informations inédites, Le Mystère de Mars ouvre de nouvelles hypothèses vertigineuses quant à notre connaissance de la " planète rouge ".
