Comet ‘wiped out highly advanced ancient civilisation after smashing into Earth nearly 13,000 years ago’
The author of a controversial new book claims a comet struck the Earth nearly 13,000 years ago and wiped out a highly advanced ancient civilisation.
When Graham Hancock wrote Fingerprints of the Gods, it was derided by academics but became a commercial sensation.
He argued an ancient culture in Antarctica was obliterated – but subjects such as astronomy and mathematics were passed to later civilisations.
Despite selling an estimated 3m copies, a BBC Horizon programme sought to demolish his theory.
Paul V Heinrich, a US geologist, wrote: “Rather than stumbling upon an archaeological mystery, he has merely created one.”
Now, 20 years later, he is set to publish a 500-page sequel – Magicians of the Gods – that he believes will prove his critics wrong.
so if they where so highly advanced why did they not see the comet coming and then blow it up or why can we not see any of the technology that was left from after the impact of the comet … As when the dino comet came and killed all the dinosaurs which was what 56 millon years ago we still can see whats left of them ie bones or fossils but we do not see no technology from 13,000 years ago ???????
