Now, after having finally finished " Fingerprints of the Gods" I am more convinced than ever, convinced by both my own observations and by his and many other scholarly investigators, that our current civilization on this planet is in dire jeopardy.
Unknown to Hancock at the time of his writing (1993-1995) there have been several recent discoveries and events that bear heavily on this belief.
Gobekli Tepe….comet impact sites across the Northern Hemisphere.....and the fact that the Earths magnetic poles have been shifting with increasing speed such that just the other day it made the news cycle.
Taken separately these are all no big deal. However, taken together, along with what we now know concerning information passed down to us all over the world, the actual historical record of this age since around 5000BC, and the facts of the Earths astrological progression over time, they take on a much more dire meaning.
To wit; The gigantic monuments across the globe throughout all cultures that were left to future generations to decipher, all are puzzles designed to be solved by science, geometry, physics, and astronomy. The dating of these monumental puzzles correlate EXACTLY to within minute portions of arc degrees to the stars in place at 10,450BC and no other time except the next end of the cycle of planetary progression, OR, end of the preceding cycle 39,000+ years before. In the time of 10,450BC plus or minus very little, there was the end of the Ice Age, the catastrophic refreeze and then sudden meltdown.
The continent of Antarctica has fossilized and flash frozen flora and fauna that could not have grown there in it's present global position.
The only way that these things could exist there is if the continent was previously in a whole different latitude.
The traces of glaciation in Africa, Asia, and South America prove that these continents were also once in different latitudes.
The last time the magnetic poles reversed it seems as though the earths crust shifted on it's axis bringing Alaska and Northern Canada up and around towards the Arctic circle and Antarctica down and around to directly over the South Pole instead of off to the side in more temperate climates.
The geological record proves this to be the case. Not the archeological record.
The archeological record is bereft of this data because it is all still covered in miles of ice. Or, it was destroyed in the global cataclysms of flood and fire at that time.
What we do have as a record are the Piries Ries maps showing Antarctica without ice and snow which have been verified as accurate. These maps were produced from even older maps and shown in a modern map projection.
This means Antarctica must have been ice free prior to the last ice age, meaning it moved during or directly after that ice age.
So, taken together all points of reference point to 15,000-8000BC as the period of great upheaval with 10,450 as the most likely point of catastrophe. Several ancient cultures tell of this all reoccurring around 2012AD plus a little.
It's now 2019, we have JUST now discovered Gobekli Tepe, we have JUST now found that the magnetic poles are shifting really quickly and at the same time the Arctic and Antarctic ice is melting faster and faster. We have just found that the Giza Plateau is an Earthly exact copy of the stars of 10,450BC.
IMHO, taken all together it is more likely than NOT that we are coming into the period where the Earths crust, due to the combined weight of the ice on both poles acting with ponderous centrifugal force as the Earths progression reaches apogee, and the fast movement of the magnetic poles, will move again, setting the continents in different latitudes once again.
Accompanying this crustal displacement will be horrific flood and fire along with the end of our civilization. The survivors will be so few and so gob smacked by being set back to the literal stone age that it will undoubtedly take many thousands of years for human civilization to recover. If at all.
Now, anyone else should feel free to disagree, and poo, poo this info all day long. This is what I personally believe to be our immediate future. Those who say that the Earth has gone along fine since creation and will continue to do so, are not paying attention to their own source book, the Bible. Not to mention all of the other evidence to the contrary. So say I.
