FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS: THE QUEST CONTINUES

Book ID/图书代码： 01160005B12223

English Summary/英文概要： The author has a highly controversial view of history and his theory of a mysterious, lost civilization that brought knowledge to other people around the world, has attracted a wide audience. In this new large-format edition, Hancock responds to critics and brings readers up to date with developments in the debate. He exposes the eerie network of connections between: the Great Sphinx and pyramids of Egypt; the Andean temples of Tianhuanaco; the Mexican pyramids of the Sun and Moon; the lost continent that lies beneath Antarctica; ancient knowledge of spherical geometry and astro-navigation; the myths and legends of humanity that have remained strangely consistent across geographical and social divides; and new theories concerning the causes of the ice ages. His new evidence suggests not only the "fingerprints" of an unknown civilization that flourished during the last ice age but also horrifying conclusions about the type and extent of planetary catastrophe required to obliterate almost all traces of it. Included are the BBC transcripts to the "Horizon" TV documentary.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书通过探寻人类史前文明而思考人类的现在并预言世界未来的力作。在这部启示录般的作品中，作者以其令人震惊为智慧为一读者描绘了一个全然不同的世界：史前文明正以故土人家料的方式复苏于当代世界，并越来越深刻地影响到人类的未来。 本书不仅是对人类的神话、文明、历史、地理、建筑、数学、天文、科技的创意性探索，更是一部古文明奥秘历险的巨著。 人类文明开启之前，谁有足够的知识和技术在南极进行缜密的地理勘探？为什么世界各国神话都不约而同地认为人类生存周期是约六千年？古埃及胡夫金字塔铭刻的预言提示了人类的终结期，古印第安人的一个传说为什么也有一个基本相似的“末日”时间表？…… 面对如此不可抗拒的远古文明诱惑，葛瑞姆•汉卡克鼓起改写人类文明发展史的勇气，“上下几千年，纵横千万里”，作者用他深情又深远的目光，深入到地球这个小小星球上现存的几乎所有的远古文明。以宇宙文明的高度观测着地球上形形色色的现代文明解释不通的不可思议的人类文明，运用地球物理学、天文学、考古学、人类学、宗教学、神话学、建筑学等等理论，穿过无底的时间黑洞，烛照人类远古文明的幽幽秘境。
