«L'empreinte des dieux» is Graham Hancock's essay on lost civilizations, published by Pygmalion in paperback (525 pages, in French).
Drawing on the Nazca lines, the ruins of Tiahuanaco, medieval maps of Antarctica, the Sphinx and flood myths, Hancock argues that a scientifically and culturally advanced civilization preceded the known ones and was wiped out by a global cataclysm; tradition, he claims, remembers that culture as the «dioses».
The French edition bears the subtitle «Enquête sur la nuit des temps et la fin du monde» and the text was originally published as «Fingerprints of the Gods».
For readers of alternative history, archaeology and comparative mythology who want an accessible investigation into civilization's lost origins.
Graham Bruce Hancock is a British author known for promoting pseudoscientific explanations of ancient civilisations and hypothetical lost lands. Hancock argues that an advanced society with spiritual technology thrived during the last Ice Age until comet impacts triggered the Younger Dryas about 12,900 years ago. He maintains that survivors of the disaster shared their knowledge with hunter-gatherer communities in regions such as ancient Egypt, Sumer, and Mesoamerica, sparking the earliest known civilisations.
