Lost Knowledge of the Ancients
A Graham Hancock reader presenting a variety of perspectives on challenging the mainstream academic establishment in science, history and archaeology. This is part of a larger paradigm shift representing a more esoteric approach to reality. Some topics like parapsychology will be more familiar to readers than others concerned for instance with the layout of the remains in Egypt corresponding to that of the stars. There is also an interesting essay questioning a naïve understanding of the moon landings and the corresponding conspiracy theory. One leitmotif is a cyclical rather than linear view of time, but the main thrust is that we need a new understanding of history and the nature of consciousness, with a balanced approach involving both open-mindedness and rigour.
