A Most
Intriguing Book from Graham
Hancock
The Mars Mystery: The Secret
Connection Between Earth and the Red
Planet
Mars holds a special fascination for
us, because it is the most Earth-like
planet we've yet encountered. As we
continue to explore the red planet,
geological evidence mounts that long ago
water flowed freely across its surface,
begging the question: If there was water,
was there life? Graham Hancock thinks so.
In fact, Hancock believes that certain
formations on the Martian surface are the
remnants of an ancient civilization--one
strikingly similar to ancient Egypt--that
was destroyed by a cataclysmic deep
impact. Further, Hancock claims that
NASA's reluctance to give credence to "The
Face," "The Pyramids," and other things
people see in images of the Martian
surface is evidence that the U.S. space
agency is motivated by cold war paranoia
and mistrust. Fascinating Reading!

Is everything
we've been taught about the ancient
Egyptians and the building of the pyramids
wrong? Was there a lost civilization in
ancient times that we knew nothing about
until now? Did it build the pyramids? A
provocative idea!
Fingerprints of the Gods: The
Evidence of Earth's Lost
Civilization
"Graham Hancock may be familiar to many
of you since he makes appearances on
television documentaries about the "Egypt
question." He has also been interviewed on
national talk-radio shows such as Art
Bell's "Coast to Coast." He even has a
site on the world wide web! If you have
not read his books, you're in for an
adventure. I'm not sure whether Hancock's
speculative theories are correct (and
that's what they are - speculative), but
he certainly challenges the "conventional
wisdom" within archaeology and Egyptology.
And who knows? Maybe his theories will be
shown to be correct and eventually be
accepted by the contemporary experts. On
the other hand....Well, let's enjoy
reading him and evaluating what he has to
say. I have also included a book by Robert
Bauval & Adrian Gilbert. Robert Bauval
has been an associate of Hancocks and
appears with him often on radio and TV.
Their "radical" ideas are worth a look."
