"We are a
species with amnesia"
If historical events are the best predictors of future events, then the one thing that we can say with a degree of certainty is that all civilisations fall.
If current day humans were to disappear from the face of the
earth, leaving behind the artefacts of our civilisation, the first thing to be
lost would be the information contained on the internet. With no one to provide power to the web, this
vast labyrinth of information would be lost almost instantly to anyone who came
after. Next to go would be the books of
the world, paper would quickly decay and deteriorate. What then would live on? only the buildings
and structures that we have created.
These too are remarkably delicate when compared with the lifespan of
planets, the proof of this is the visible on almost every street of ancient Rome,
where teams of people work all year round to preserve monuments that were built
a mere two millennia ago.
Given enough time without care and attention the only things
that would be left would be the great monumental structures that we have
produced such as the Hoover dam.
What then would a future discoverer of the Hoover dam think
about the culture that built such a monumental structure. Luckily the builders of the Hoover dam had
the foresight to build in a message for just such an occasion. Obviously this message could not be written
in language as the risk that it could not be deciphered is too great. Ingeniously the architects decided to build
in a start map. A clue that could guide
any intelligent civilisation to be able to trace the structure to the exact date of its completion.
Could these sorts of hints been left by previous civilisations? This is precisely the framework within which Graham
Hancock examines the ancient stone monuments and myths of Egypt and South America.
Hancock, not content with examining the facts from a distance
is meticulous in his desire to get up close and personal with the monuments and to seek out those who have done the same.
From the first chapter Hancock introduces ancient
maps that make an almost undisputable mockery of the currently held historical chronology.
Furthermore he examines and unravels
clear inconsistencies in the current dogma, from the age of the structures
themselves to the level of knowledge and engineering expertise required to
build them.
The books journey through Central and South America to
recurring flood myths from around the globe, to the precession of the celestial
equinoxes is an attempt to offer a more plausible explanation for the history of
civilisation than the current establishment has been able to offer.
This book will open your eyes and your mind to the
possibility, in fact to the probability that the conventional view of history
is flawed in the extreme, that we are in fact as Hancock and Plato before him
have pointed out, a species suffering from amnesia.
