Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock is a British author, historian, and pseudoscientist who has spent several decades researching and writing about the mysteries of ancient civilizations. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1950 and studied sociology and anthropology at Durham University.

Hancock is best known for his bestselling books on ancient civilizations, including “Fingerprints of the Gods”, “The Message of the Sphinx”, and “Magicians of the Gods.” In these works, he promotes the idea that many ancient civilizations, including the Maya, the Egyptians, and the Incans, were much more technologically advanced than previously believed. He also suggests that there may have been lost lands, such as Atlantis, that were destroyed in catastrophic events.

Despite his controversial theories, Hancock has gained a large following over the years, and his books have sold millions of copies worldwide. He has spoken at numerous conferences and events, including the TEDx conferences, and his work has been featured in several documentaries and TV shows.

Hancock’s research has garnered a great deal of criticism from many in the scientific community, who argue that his theories lack empirical evidence and are based on anecdotal accounts and mythological stories. However, he maintains that his research is based on a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating archaeology, geology, and astronomy, and he stands by his beliefs that there are still mysteries to be uncovered about the ancient world.

In addition to his work on ancient civilizations, Hancock has also written about psychedelics, exploring their potential benefits for humanity and advocating for the decriminalization of entheogenic plants and substances.

Despite his controversial ideas, Hancock has made a significant impact on the fields of history and archaeology, prompting important conversations and debates about the mystery and wonder of the ancient world.
