Entertaining but only a quarter of the book is actually about the title topic, the rest recaps his earlier books and the state of the current science, serving to put his suggested progenitor civilization somewhere in America. There's a minimum of Hancock's more outlandish claims in here, such as these ancestors having psychic powers, shaping stone with sound and other nonsense. Stripped of that, what's left is a semi plausible story of cosmic impacts that destroy a continent of an early civilization that then spreads out over the world and leaves a similar cultural heritage and myths. ( ) I didn’t plan on reading this when I first heard about this book, but I’m glad I did. It’s not a perfect book and has the usual low points of graham picking and choosing his good scientists vs bad scientists but it’s worth the read. There are many similarities between the Native American cultures and others around the world like The Egyptians and south East Asians. Too many to leave to chance. And the info about the Clovis and the younger dryas comet make this a must read book if you’re interested in archeology or history. no reviews | add a review
