The Think Tank

Yesterday Shannon and I were walking through Borders wasting time until her appointment at the Apple Store (iPod versus washing machine, not pretty), and I happened across this book, Fingerprints of the Gods, by Graham Hancock.  The description sounded interesting so I downloaded it to my Kindle when I got home.

I’m about 1/3 of the way through it and I am truly enjoying this book.  In fact, basically all I’ve done today is read it… well, read it and look up references to things that I found in the book.

Hancock tells the tale of his journey across the globe to investigate some the worlds most ancient archeological sites gathering clues that lead him to a single belief: that somewhere far back in the deepest reaches of antiquity, much farther back in time than conventional wisdom accepts,  a technologically advanced and intellectually enlightened human civilization existed.  This civilization left its fingerprints on humankind in ways small and large, many of which exist to this very day.

If you are a fan of conventional thinking, this book is probably not for you.  If, however, you are open to logical but unpopular ideas, enjoyed Immanuel Velikovsky’s Worlds in Collision and Ages in Chaos, or simply believe that if you find a similar enough story from a wide array of sources there has to be a common truth in there somewhere, you will definitely enjoy this book.

I certainly am.
