OK, so you’re skeptical that a “primitive” civilization such as that of the Ancient Maya could have predicted 2012′s disastrous flooding and devastation thousands of years ago. Listen to the experts for a moment, and think again in light of recent events:
Writer and adventurer Graham Hancock recently appeared on comedian Duncan Trussell’s podcast, The Duncan Trussell Family Hour. Hancock tackles a number of esoteric topics: psychedelics, sacred geometry, the pyramids, and the Freemasons, just to name a few.
Listen to the episode at Duncan Trussell’s website.

Graham Hancock says, “I’ve posted a new video on my Youtube channel, It’s an interview I did recently with a new Youtube podcast called “London Real”. The hosts Brian Rose and Nic Gabriel are amongst the best interviewers it has ever been my pleasure to work with — intelligent, original, thought-provoking and fun, the nearest thing in Britain to the wonderful “Joe Rogan Experience”. London Real is going to be doing great shows in the years ahead. Highly recommended. Check out their Youtube channel here.
Dr Richard Dawkins, author of books such as The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion, is famous for his materialist views about the nature of reality and his belief that “the supernatural… can never offer us a true explanation of the things we see in the world and the universe around us.” On 3 November 2011, Dr Dawkins visited the British city of Bath to promote his new book The Magic of Reality and gave a reading at the Bath Central Library. In the Q&A session following the reading Graham Hancock, author of books such as Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind, and Entangled, pointed out to Dr Dawkins that many traditional hunter-gather cultures believe there are other realities — spirit worlds and so on and so forth — and concrete techniques, such as the use of psychoactive plants, to access them. “As a scientist,” Hancock asked, “have you ever seriously engaged such techniques to have first-hand experience of what they’re talking about, and perhaps even to challenge your own concept of what is real?”

In his novel Entangled, Graham Hancock spun a tale suggesting that Neanderthals were way more creative than the violent homo sapiens who wiped them out. New research suggests that Hancock may have been right, reported by James Noble Wilford in the New York Times:
Stone Age artists were painting red disks, handprints, clublike symbols and geometric patterns on European cave walls long before previously thought, in some cases more than 40,000 years ago, scientists reported on Thursday, after completing more reliable dating tests that raised a possibility that Neanderthals were the artists.
A more likely situation, the researchers said, is that the art — 50 samples from 11 caves in northwestern Spain — was created by anatomically modern humans fairly soon after their arrival in Europe.
The findings seem to put an exclamation point to a run of recent discoveries: direct evidence from fossils that Homo sapiens populations were living in England 41,500 to 44,200 years ago and in Italy 43,000 to 45,000 years ago, and that they were making flutes in German caves about 42,000 years ago.
Coast To Coast AM’s George Noory talks with author Graham Hancock on the subject of the battle of good and evil and Hancock’s novel Entangled which focusses on that mystery. Hancock enters the conversation at about 11:34 in the YouTube video below (right after a recording of Prince Charles reading the weather for Scotland).
I’m best known for my big non-fiction investigations of historical mysteries but I’m trying a new path as a novelist to celebrate my 60s and I’m grateful for any support my readers are willing to give me. My first novel, Entangled, explores big, cutting edge ideas about time-travel, out-of-body and near-death experiences, consciousness, pre-history, the battle of good and evil, and the mystery of reality but does so in the form of fast-moving tale of fantasy and adventure. Very few of my non-fiction readers have yet taken a look at this novel but at less than $1 for this week only why not give it a go?

Here’s a synopsis and some background information on the science behind Entangled, and a video trailer below. I hope you enjoy the book,
