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.

本书通过探寻人类史前文明,思考了人类的现在并预言世界未来。

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?

The bestselling authors of The Secret of the Sphinx relate the extraordinary account of a longstanding conspiracy at the heart of Western civilization, the visual evidence of which surrounds us all. A talisman is an object with “meaning.” It is a potent symbol or icon that can fire the imagination and emotions of men and women anywhere, any time. It can be a small amulet, a ring, a flag, a statue, a monument, and even a whole city. Think of a wedding ring. Think of the Statue of Liberty or the collapsing Twin Towers of New York, or the toppling statue of Saddam Hussein. Think of the Wailing Wall. Think of Jerusalem. . . Talisman is a roller-coaster intellectual journey through the back streets and rat runs of history to uncover the traces in architecture and monuments of a secret religion that has shaped the world. The story takes us from Heliopolis to Luxor, Alexandria, Toulouse, Florence, Rome, Paris, London, Washington DC, New York, and finally to the global pandemonium following September 11, 2001. It is a tale filled with romance and intrigue, heroism and faith, peopled by ancient Egyptian astronomer-priests, Christian Gnostics, Hermetic sages, learned Jews, Arab savants, Occitan counts, Cathar “perfects,” Knights Templar, Renaissance magi, Rosicrucian “invisibles,” Bavarian Illuminati, and Freemasons. Pivotal historical events and processes, not least the Renaissance, the birth of scientific rationalism, and the French and American Revolutions, are radically re-evaluated in the light of new investigative evidence presented for the first time in Talisman. Even the belief that the United States has a “global mission,” so obvious today, may ultimately prove to be less the result of a short-term reaction to terrorism than the inevitable working out of a covert plan originally set in motion almost 2000 years ago. With its eye-catching amazing revelations, extensive documentation, and all-encompassing theories, Talisman will ensure that its readers will never look at the world in the same way. From the Hardcover edition.

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 ".

Le Grand Sphinx de Guizeh cherche-t-il à délivrer aux hommes un message depuis longtemps oublié ? Grâce à une simulation informatique de la carte du ciel des temps anciens, Robert Bauval a brisé le code astronomique caché dans l''alignement des trois pyramides de Guizeh : elles forment une image précise de la position des étoiles du Baudrier d''Orion en... 10500 avant J.-C. Or cette révélation va à l''encontre des théories admises par les égyptologues orthodoxes quant à la conception de ces monuments. Robert Bauval et Graham Hancock posent alors des questions troublantes : d''où viennent les marques d''érosion sur le Grand Sphinx ? Quelles preuves a-t-on que ces monuments ont bien été conçus par les pharaons, alors qu''ils exigent des compétences techniques qui les dépassaient ? Que cache la mystérieuse porte tout récemment découverte dans un conduit abandonné de la Grande Pyramide ? Si l''on se réfère aux textes des Anciens relatifs au " Premier Temps " de la civilisation égyptienne, selon lesquels une caste de " gardiens " apporta la connaissance à l''humanité, à faut alors envisager une toute nouvelle hypothèse : le sphinx et les pyramides dessineraient une véritable " carte du trésor " qui devrait nous révéler les secrets des origines...
