Before I process with my review I must warn readers that I believe that it is probable that Earth was visited by Extraterrestrials who interacted and influenced humanity in the ancient past! Von Daniekan's writing style, observations, and analysis of the evidence used by mainstream science anchor theology to explain the presence of artifacts, writings and other materials, coupled with his alternative explanations and proofs were not only plausible, but also down right convincing."
"The book that shoved the door open."
"Read this in the latreatment 60"s the first time."
"I am very much interested in the ancient astronaut theory so this was an obvious choice and a must read for anyone who shares my interest."
"Such an eye opener ,I must have read this book over five times already."
"First book I read as a kid on extra terrestrials, revisiting the book was fun."
"Classic book about the origins of man."
"Been a fan for years."
He visits the dimly lit rooms where séances take place, the European villages where gremlins make mischief, even Key West, Florida, home of a haunted doll named Robert. Whether these beasts and bogeymen are real or just a reflection of our primal fears, we know, on some level, that not every mystery has been explained and that the unknown still holds the power to strike fear deep in our hearts and souls. “Truth can often be much scarier than fiction—something Mahnke proves as he dives deep into the world of folklore and the darker side of history in a quest to root out the fragment of truth at the bottom of our fears.” —Entertainment Weekly. “Unlike so much horror that needs over-the-top viscera to scare you, this podcast leans on history—folklore, myth, the stuff people once thought was true—to tell its tales.” —The Atlantic.

I can't decide if the hardcover version of World of LORE will go on the shelf next to my Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual or Grimm's Fairytales."
"Love Lore, but if you've already caught the podcast, nothing really new in the book."
"If you haven't listened to the podcasts, this is a nice book to read for myths."
"When I hurriedly opened the book excited to read the stories, I realized that it was literally the podcast transcripts!!"
"I love the podcast and was super excited to get this."
"I love the podcast and was very excited about the book...then it arrived. Love the podcast."
"As a longtime fan I could quote half the podcasts from memory - I don’t need a book full of transcripts. The hype around this book (from Aaron himself) made it sound like there would be drawings abound! I love Aaron’s work, his original novels, and the podcast."
"Interesting subject matter, but I found the writing style to be too informal and conversational in tone."
With over 5 million copies sold worldwide of Fingerprints of the Gods , its New York Times bestselling sequel Magicians of the Gods brings new evidence supporting Hancock's thesis that a global cataclysm wiped out a great global civilization. Deeply immersed in an ocean of new scientific and archaeological discoveries and yet prescient enough to conceive of humanity's mysterious development and humble place in the universe, Hancock weaves a multidisciplinary thread that connects oral traditions, the mystery of place and time with contemporary scientific observations and evidence....A masterpiece of penitentiary distillation, intuitive speculation and multidisciplinary perspective, Magicians of the Gods comes with the highest recommendation." "Magicians of the Gods schools the attentive reader in exotic locales and colourful (often thwarted) characters, dusty ancient knowledge and pristine contemporary science and theory. "Hancock does a magnificent job of proving beyond reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization, which flourished during the Ice Age, was destroyed in global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Graham Hancock has done another marvelous job drawing connections among ancient information in a level headed manner, and has presented a brilliantly coherent framework that explains many enigmas. It is sadly unsurprising that the largely conservative and ossified mainstream always puts up heavy resistance to this information; as this is all too often the case to any challenger of the status quo among academia. It does well enough on its own, and presents a brilliant case that a planetary impact and the global floods/cataclysm that resulted was the main culprit in nearly wiping out an advanced civilization in pre-history, however the weight of this revelation is much heavier if you are acquainted with the thick foundation already laid out in Fingerprints of the gods. They seem to have hit the ice caps that covered North America and Northern Europe, leaving little if any craters but causing massive floods, fires, and so on. The evidence is clear enough, and made even more profound if we keep in mind the countless ancient "myths" around the globe that give detailed descriptions of the event. There is ongoing research, conducted by Tony Wright and others, indicating the development of our neural system is literally compromised and has been progressively reverting to a more primitive mammalian type. Hancock is aware and a fan of the research but it gets curiously omitted here, possibly because of the overwhelming task it would be integrating it into the book, and making its focus too broad. Though it fits in perfectly with his research on psychedelics - one of the main approaches ancient cultures have employed throughout the entire world for millenia in order to address and treat our condition - and because of the obvious gaps it fills in regards to the nature of these "magicians of the gods". Both Hancock's work, Wright's, and others have changed my life in ways I can't even begin to download into such a feeble medium as language, and I'd like to share that experience with all of you as we collectively journey forward on this mind boggling ride we are on."
"Great read and very informative."
"Mountains of new data helping to restore humanity from our ancient, ancient historical amnesia."
"This was an enjoyable read with new information and a provocative premis; the past is telling us what's on our cosmic doorstep."
"Graham Hancock is amazing and this book is endlessly fascinating."
"As usual...as VERY well documented, of course!"
"Appears to be a great read."
"I enjoy Hancock's theories and his writing that takes the reader from point A to B without confusion on complicated topics."

"To an extent, it's also a testament to how well produced the show is but being only 40 minutes long, you would hope that the book could serve as more than just a refresher."

Best Canadian National Parks Travel Guides
The Eastern version will be released in late March and will include a list of all missing people in each edition and a concluding chapter that draws both books together for conclusions. Some of the issues that are discussed in each edition: • The National Park Service attitude toward missing people • How specific factors in certain cases replicate themselves in different clusters • Exposing cases involving missing children that aren’t on any national database • Unusual behavior by bloodhounds/canines involved in the search process • How storms, berries, swamps, briar patches, boulder fields and victim disabilities play a role in the disappearance • The strategies of Search and Rescue personnel need to change under specific circumstances Major news organizations do a deplorable job of covering stories and issues which are deemed too unusual or too far outside the box. At a minimum, this story deserves space on the front page of every newspaper in the country, and it warrants a formal high level inquiry by the federal agencies whose files leave little doubt that something very strange is unfolding in our wilderness.

"I was intrigued by the subject and had to search for this book because it is out of print."
"Very thought provoking factual reading!"
"Fascinating book!"
"You wont find any better reading, all based on factual events, you can get a lot cheaper on his website."
"THE U.S. GOVERNMENT seems to be complicit in covering up countless missing persons cases. Read some of Mr. Paulides other books to get an idea of what may be happening to some of the missing people."
"Russia is a heavily forested country and has quite a bit of folklore that may help explain what is happening with these strange disappearances. People appeased the forest spirit by bringing gifts and offerings before hiking or hunting. Once I read a book written by missionaries in Africa who said that the evil spirits there often took people, especially in families that were fighting. Often people go from working at a desk, then suddenly vacation arrives, and they pile everything in a car, drive for hours, and then force themselves to hike with packs over long distances without any letup. There are altitude differences, weather changes, and alcohol consumption that can lower a person's resistance to strange and unexpected things."
"That is the way I approached the Missing 411 series, and I urge those skeptics who don't believe in consipiracies, aliens, UFO's, Bigfoot, etc., to set your strong beliefs on a shelf while you read this book and just consider what is occurring. Stories of missing children and especially toddlers, can begin to weigh heavily on your heart and mind and soul, but it seems you have to keep going so that you can understand the enormity of the situation, and again, the similarities of what is happening."

"I was sent a review copy of this book, and to claim that receiving it made my day is an understatement.

Best Occultism
"On Saturday night I would see men lusting after halfnaked girls dancing at the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent-show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man's body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. The Satanic Bible is less bible and more philosophy (with a few rituals thrown in to keep us entertained), but this philosophy is the backbone of a religion that, until LaVey entered the scene, was merely a myth of the Christian church.
