Makes ancient history exciting!September 18, 1996 How does a 16th century map include an outline ofAntarctica when it wasn't discovered until the end of the20th century. Surprisingly, the outline is of the land beneath the ice which wasn't radar-mappped until the 1950s. And so begins a journey from Egypt to South America. Hundreds of references, and a recommended read. More details at http://www.knowledge.co.uk/xxx/fingerprints/
This book is a must read...August 7, 1996 Hancock challenges all of our orthodox notions about our ancient past. This well researched and supported work rattles the foundations of history and challenges us to look at ourselves as a more humble cog in the cosmic machine. His hypothesis is that there were ancient civilizations that existed long before the "traditional" dynastic Egyptians, Sumerians, and Mayans who had a mastery of physics, mathematics, cartography, and astronomy that would rival or exceed our own. Get this book, read it, and open your mind....
Erich Von Daniken eat your heart out!July 17, 1996 This is not '70's disco-era jive talk about ancient astronauts.Yes, we are talking about most all great megalithic structures that have the incredible precision/allignment thing happening. Yes we are talking about all ancient flood sagas and their similarities. Maybe Antarctica did moves 1000s of miles south in a short time span about 15,000BC. So what if some midievel maps show a snow-free 'Antarctic Land Mass' as if rendered from now lost ancient sources. And of course, the existence of an advanced Atlantean 'proto-super-culture' (my term) will tie it all together! If we could just get under that ice sheet and look for any ruins! I am serious. I wished this book had another 500 pages it is unstoppable reading!

This book will open your mind to the past. Excellent!!July 19, 1995 The author has a keen sense of how to unfold his entire theory over 500 pages so that you leave the book convinced of the strong possibility that it is true and want to read more about the subject of lost civilizations. I can't wait to read "When the Sky fell" once its released (by Ruth Ann-Flems)
