fingerprints of the gods criticism

Perhaps, he hinted, they communicated entirely through the oral tradition, skipping writing. The thinking goes that these huge megafauna would have had no reason to fear humans, and were probably easy pickings for the newly arriving hunter-gatherers. Just take it with a grain of salt. One of the best books I have read in a long time. Among the numberless ruined temples of Ancient Egypt, there is one that is unique not only for its marvellous state of preservation, which (rare indeed!) I discovered it only recently and am now fascinated with the idea that mankind built a complex global civilization before the Clovis Comet disaster brought it to an end about 13,000 years ago. It starts on the bottom with Genesis 1:1 (In the beginning..) and finishes with 'Hallelujah!' I'm about half way thru and it's all questions and zero answers (or theories for that matter).If you loved the TV show "In Search Of...." back in the 70's, then you'll really love this book.

For example, Hancock calls these ancient peoples the “Watchers” (aka the “Magicians”) in a section titled “Mystery of the Nephilim”: Although Hancock writes that “our ancestors are being initiated into the secrets of metals, and how to make swords and knives,” no such thing is found at any of the archaeological sites he touts as being influenced by his highly advanced lost civilization, not at Göbekli Tepe, nor in the non-Roman areas of Baalbek, Easter Island, nor at any of the ancient Mayan sites he discusses.During an exchange with Michael Shermer on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Hancock suggested that “perhaps,” “maybe,” and “possibly” this lost civilization did not have metal tools, writing, and other features of societies traditionally labeled as “advanced,” and that we need to reconfigure the mainstream scientific timeline of what it means to be an advanced culture. Fingerprints of the Gods could not have been written without the generous, warm-hearted and sustaining love of my partner Santha Faiia— who always gives more than she takes and who enriches the lives of everyone around her with creativity, kindness and imagination. The Sphinx itself, it seems, symbolized the pharaoh presenting offerings to the sun god in the court of the temple.” Hawass agrees, reminding us that Khafre as the royal falcon god “is giving offerings with his two paws to his father, Khufu, incarnated as the sun god, Ra, who rises and sets in that temple.”Next we will consider Hancock’s explanation for why there is no direct evidence for his lost civilization— it was completely wiped out by a comet impact. As Hancock has pointed out, the Sphinx runs east-west, but not because the Egyptians had help from magicians in aligning it with asterisms. But some adults stubbornly reject detailed science in favor of sweeping, colorful and easily comprehended fairy tales. Notably, Broecker and his colleagues have most recently concluded that “there is no need to call upon a one-time catastrophic event to explain the YD.

Informative geology lessons, maps and astronomy. Finally, the scorpion on pillar 43 looks nothing like the star pattern.The pattern correlation problem does not keep Sweatman and Tsikritsis from matching figures on pillar 43 in a roughly clockwise fashion to the asterisms surrounding Scorpius in the day sky of 10,950 BCE. If you loved the TV show "In Search Of...." back in the 70's, then you'll really love this book.So a little background, I have always been obsessed with unexplained phenomena. In Fingerprints of the Gods, Hancock embarks on a worldwide quest to put together all the pieces of the vast and fascinating jigsaw of mankind’s hidden past. There's my starting point. Graham Hancock, author of Underworld and Fingerprints of the Gods, has unwittingly supplied much evidence corrobrating the timeline of the book of Genesis, in proving that sophisticated archaic megalithic-building cultures flourished during the Ice Age, proven by their submerged ruins now on the shallow seafloor, but he chooses to insert 7,000 years of no such building, between 10000 B.C., … If it passed close enough to the atmosphere to create friction, it could have caused a change in the speed of rotation.

The extreme mental gymnastics Hancock goes through to warn us of eminent doom fails in the light of logic. But why that one? This is disingenuous.

Graham Hancock, author of Underworld and Fingerprints of the Gods, has unwittingly supplied much evidence corrobrating the timeline of the book of Genesis, in proving that sophisticated archaic megalithic-building cultures flourished during the Ice Age, proven by their submerged ruins now on the shallow seafloor, but he chooses to insert 7,000 years of no such building, between 10000 B.C., which is when mainstream scientists say the Ice Age ended, and about 3000 B.C., the general timeframe for when archaeologists say megalithic building, such as at archaic Baalbek in Cannaan, began.Hancock admits that the submerged ruins look as if they are “bronze age,” but chooses to conform to the mainstreamers’ date for the end of the Ice Age at circa 10000 B.C., inserting 7,000 years of timeout from such building (ostensibly), until they began again when Baalbek, the Great Pyramid, and (actually) the submerged ruins found around the world were built (see category Submerged Ancient Ruins), but if he went with what common sense he may have left, he should be able to see that the biblical timeline, with the Ice Age having ended circa 1500 B.C., when the Exodus occured, matches the evidence.And to see how they actually measured and mapped the earth back in those days, checkout article #2 at Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.The author is a young earth creationist, who is commenting on how mainstream scientists and New Agers are missing the boat (willfully in many cases) as they interpret the evidences about our ancient history.
