The Instant New York Times Bestseller!

Was an advanced civilization lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age? Graham Hancock, the internationally bestselling author, has made it his life's work to find out--and in America Before, he draws on the latest archaeological and DNA evidence to bring his quest to a stunning conclusion.


We’ve been taught that North and South America were empty of humans until around 13,000 years ago – amongst the last great landmasses on earth to have been settled by our ancestors. But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-established picture and we know now that the Americas were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago – many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere.

Hancock's research takes us on a series of journeys and encounters with the scientists responsible for the recent extraordinary breakthroughs. In the process, from the Mississippi Valley to the Amazon rainforest, he reveals that ancient "New World" cultures share a legacy of advanced scientific knowledge and sophisticated spiritual beliefs with supposedly unconnected "Old World" cultures. Have archaeologists focused for too long only on the "Old World" in their search for the origins of civilization while failing to consider the revolutionary possibility that those origins might in fact be found in the "New World"?

America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization is the culmination of everything that millions of readers have loved in Hancock's body of work over the past decades, namely a mind-dilating exploration of the mysteries of the past, amazing archaeological discoveries and profound implications for how we lead our lives today.

A must read for all mankind

Graham is brilliant and has pried open a box of knowledge for all to experience. Precede reading this by watching Ancient Apocalypse and take notes. Join a group of seekers and scientists whose goal is to solidify our understanding of the true prehistoric record of our home on Earth. For as Graham said to me “it is a big box indeed”. It is imperative that we turn our attention skyward and prepare to deal with and repel future impacts on our precious world.

EXCELLENT

I love the fact that this book was a culmination of Mr Hancock’s life work. His inquisitive mind and writing style engage the mind and also introduce wonder as we can only learn new things by questioning old paradigms and that applies to this important topic of pre-history but just about any avenue of our lives. Please keep writing Mr Hancock, you are a rock star and I believe your theories are spot on! 👏🏼

Thanks again Graham Hancock

At his third book my vision on the whole history of men is completely changed, for ever. As I said in other reviews Graham’s books should be on school desks.
