***THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER***
'Hancock's books provide a fascinating, alternative version of prehistory. America Before, detailed and wide-ranging, turns what was myth and legend into a new story of the past.' Daily Mail
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 focussed 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 Civilisation is the culmination of everything that millions of people 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.

Interesting Ride
I enjoyed listening to Graham Hancock read his theory. I loved the in depth analysis he presents. I was left unconvinced by the end of the book but I did enjoy the ride. He reads clearly in his lovely British Received Pronunciation.

Graham brings this must read alive
When history looks back, it will recognise Graham Hancock as one of the most influential anthropological-researchers.
Graham is great to listen to, he brings this amazing and deep story to life and is clearly passionate!

deeply important
hancock has gone full empirical on this one almost playing into the hands of the established paradigm and teasing them with the facts of matter and the power of years and years of learned wisdom.
the end of the book is one the most clearly defined passionate outcries telling of the upsidedowness of the materialist word view and an emotional rationale for the true reality of what we call the esoteric but is actually just how things were for thousands of years in the human soul that allowed us to function as a connected inter species embedded in the cosmos

Sooo interesting
Have watched a few show Rohan podcasts where he talks to Graham. Interesting topics and makes a lot of sense. More to the old world and we are only scratching the surface. Would be helpful if the experts helped and assisted each other instead off the bulldung that goes on.
Well written and researched and great to be read by the author.
Do yourselves a favour and have a listen.

Fascinating
The data provided clearly hints at ancient common ancestors with higher culture than surrounding hunter-gatherers. Hopefully, future underwater archaeology will give us more clues to our history.

Valiant Researcher and Author.
The quest for knowledge leaves us with more questions than answers. Graham asks all the questions and backs his claims by evidence at the latest expanse of current and historical research.
A very engrossing read for anyone with an open mind and a great summary of previous books.
