| - Graham Hancock (born August 2, 1950) is a British writer and journalist. His books include Lords of Poverty, The Sign and the Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods, Keeper of Genesis, The Mars Mystery, Heaven's Mirror, Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilization, and Talisman: Sacred Cities, Secret Faith . He also wrote and presented the Channel 4 documentaries Underworld: Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age and Quest for the Lost Civilisation. His most recent book, Supernatural: Meetings With the Ancient Teachers of Mankind, was released in the UK in October 2005 and in the US in 2006. In it, Hancock examines paleolithic cave art in the light of David Lewis-Williams' neuropsychological model, exploring its relation to the development of the fully-modern human mind. Hancock's chief areas of interest are ancient mysteries, stone monuments or megaliths, ancient myths and astronomical/astrological data from the past. One of the main themes running through many of his books is the possible global connection with a 'mother culture' from which he believes all ancient historical civilizations sprang. Although his books have sold more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated into twenty-seven languages, his methods and conclusions have found little support among academics. Often criticised for being a pseudoarchaeologist, Hancock, who freely admits he has no formal training in archaeology, sees himself as providing a counterbalance to what he perceives as the 'unquestioned' acceptance and support given to orthodox views by the education system, the media, and by society at large. Basing his argument on the 1995 book 'When the Sky Fell' by Rand and Rose Flem-Ath (proteges of Prof. Charles Hapgood), Hancock argues that the earth's crust, the tectonic plates treated as a single outer layer, is capable of suddenly shifting its orientation relative to the underlying mantle. He points to evidence of temperate plants and animals that were apparently "flash-frozen" in areas that are now frigid but were once much warmer. In approximately 11,600 BC, according to the Flem-Aths, a sudden cataclysm shifted Antarctica to the south by about 2000 miles. Prior to this event Antarctica may have supported a human civilization whose habitations, including cities, are now buried in Antarctic ice. Citing similarities in the lore of the world's ancient civilizations, the authors argue that mariners representing this ancient civilization then traveled the world to found the world's ancient civilizations.

- Graham Hancock är en alternativ-arkeolog eller som en del kallar "pseudoarkeolog". Graham Hancock har framfört hypoteser att det under förhistorisk tid flera tusen år före högkulturerna i Egypten, Mesopotamien och Indien funnits en "försvunnen" civilisation. Denna civilisation var enligt Hancock en föregångare till de senare kända civilisationerna. Hancock spekulerar i vilken världsdel den kan ha funnits, han har lagt fram olika teorier: Antarktis, Sydamerika eller en sjunken kontinent i Atlanten (Myten om Atlantis). Högkulturerna i Mesopotamien och Egypten är menar Hancock "bleka efterföljare" till denna urgamla och försvunna civilisation. (sv)
- Graham Hancock, nacido en Edimburgo en 1950 se licenció en sociología. Desde 1987 se dedica exclusivamente a escribir. Ha publicado obras de gran éxito, como Talisman, en 2004. (es)
- Corrispondente negli anni ottanta per The Economist per tutta l'area dell'Africa medio orientale, ha curato numerose pubblicazioni di carattere naturalistico e scientifico. Dopo una serie di libri sulla storia del medioriente nel 1992 pubblica Il mistero del Sacro Graal, un diario di 9 anni di ricerche tra Etiopia, Egitto ed Israele sulle tracce del'Arca dell'alleanza e del Sacro Graal. Hanno fatto seguito Impronte degli dei, Custode della Genesi e L'enigma di Marte questi due in collaborazione con Robert Bauval. La serie è continuata con Lo specchio del cielo assieme alla fotografa Santha Faiia sua moglie, Civiltà sommerse e, nel 2004, sempre con R. Bauval, ha pubblicato Talismano (le città sacre e la fede segreta). I suoi libri hanno intrigato ed appassionato milioni di lettori nel mondo, ma i suoi metodi e le sue conclusioni hanno trovato poco sostegno da parte del mondo accademico, e Hancock è stato criticato come "pseudoarcheologo".
