America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization: A new investigation into the mysteries of the human past by the bestselling author of Fingerprints of the Gods and Magicians of the Gods

In his book "America Before," Hancock presents a fascinating and alternative version of prehistory, suggesting that an advanced civilization was lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age. He draws on the latest archaeological and DNA evidence to conclude 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 reveals that ancient New World cultures share a legacy of advanced scientific knowledge and sophisticated spiritual beliefs with supposedly unconnected Old World cultures, challenging the traditional focus of archaeologists on the Old World in their search for the origins of civilization.
