In this article, Graham Hancock, bestselling author of alternative ancient history books like Fingerprints of the Gods and The Message of the Sphinx, discusses his newest book: Magicians of the Gods - and the evidence of a catastrophic event that wiped out the civilization of our ancient ancestors over 12,000 years ago. Hancock told us that the Sphinx was eroded by rainfall thousands of years before Egyptologists said any civilization existed to build it - long before the Gobekli Tepe site in Turkey proved that civilization did exist that far back.
