Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
In Heaven's Mirror, author Graham Hancock continues the quest begun in his No. 1 international bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods to rediscover the hidden legacy of mankind--the revelation that the cultures we term ancient were, in fact, the heirs to a far older forgotten civilisation, and the inheritors of its archaic wisdom ...

Working with the photographer Santha Faiia, his wife, Hancock traces a network of sacred sites around the globe on a spectacular voyage of discovery that takes us from the pyramids and temples of ancient Egypt to the enigmatic statues of Easter Island; from the haunting ruins of pre-Columbian America to the splendours of Angkor Wat, in order to crack the code of our lost ancestors. It is an odyssey that leads to sunken monuments and hidden chambers--a journey through myth and magic, and astounding archaeological revelations, that forces us to rethink our entire conception of the origins of civilisation.

Much more than a sequel to Fingerprints of the Gods,Heaven's Mirror is a plunge into the spirituality of the ancients--a search for the revelation of a secret written in the language of astronomy, and recorded in the very foundations of the holiest sites of antiquity.

Product Description
The sequel to the international bestseller, FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS. In very different parts of the world, evidence exists of a common legacy - shared by cultures separated by hundreds, sometimes thousands of years. From Mexico to Iceland, Cambodia to Easter Island, China to Egypt, we are finding a common astronomical wisdom handed down from a time before history, a time perhaps before the 'Great Flood'. A common wisdom from a lost civilisation which might hold the key to our own identity on earth. HEAVEN'S MIRROR is a personal quest for the answer - the culmination of eight years of painstaking research.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent companion to "Fingerprints of the Gods", 14 Jan 2004
By Alan P "joalem" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Heaven's Mirror: Quest for the Lost Civilization (Paperback)
This is like the book of the TV series of the book "Fingerprints of the Gods" with extended scope to include global evidence of the antiquity of modern humanity.

Summarising most of Hancock's other works (Keeper of Genesis, Sign and the Seal and of course the seminal Fingerprints) it brings you up to date with the current New Age pseudo-scientific study of ancient wisdom and architecture.

This book leans more heavily on the more concrete astronomical evidence of an ancient world religion than some of the more romantic conjecture made in his earlier book, which lends it more of an objective viewpoint. Nevertheless, absence of any serious evidence will always leave Hancock and his sources and followers on the fringe of archaeological investigation.

That said, this is a fantastic read, by turns thought-provoking and mystical; but the real reason for giving this 5 stars are the fantastic pictures which abound on every page. Taken by Hancock's wife Santha Faiia, they are truly stunning and bring to life the mysteries of the ancient remains of what could be our spiritual heritage. This is the ultimate coffee table book!

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthy successor to Fingerprints of the Gods, 23 Aug 2000
By "chrishyams" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Heaven's Mirror: Quest for the Lost Civilization (Paperback)
Heaven's Mirror is a worthy and colourful successor to Graham Hancock's vastly-scoped Fingerprints of the Gods.

While not quite as detailed as his previous work (much emphasis is placed upon his wife's vivid photography) Hancock's writing style still holds our attention well, although one cannot help thinking that we've read most of his theories before in 'Fingerprints of the Gods' and there is a constant of feeling of analytical regurgitation (ie, the surface monuments mapping to Orion, global coodinate correlations etc).

However, the section on the discovery of underwater structures in South East Asia is fascinating and only acts to bolster his underlying hypotheses further. In fact as I write this review, I have just heard on the radio this morning that underwater structures have been discovered close to the shoreline of Lake Titicaca in Peru, the ancient site of Tiahuanaco. Well Graham, there's another book and TV series for you on a plate !

5.0 out of 5 stars "May the wise teach the mystery to the wise" dead sea scroll, 24 Jul 2003
By L. Nolan "T-Fox" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Heaven's Mirror: Quest for the Lost Civilization (Paperback)
I have studied ancient cultures for many years and after working with experts in all areas from astronomy through to geology, it soon becomes clear that there is a great deal of rigidness in thier hypothesis and accepted theories.
Something we tend to forget fairly easily is that our accepted history of the world and human evolution, which is taught to all our schools as solid fact, is actually a collection of therories.

There are no solid facts that pre-date recorded history.

With this in mind, the facts which Graham Hancock and other researchers like him have discovered, are no less credible than numerous accepted theroies which are easily questionable and full of holes. The only difference here, is that when new facts are uncovered and they do not fit in with human 'history' they are put to one side and ignored rather than explored further.

How can we ever hope to learn the truth about our past if we only hear what we want to hear?

This book is full of credible theroies and is a very good introduction to our amazing history. Read with an open mind and you'll find history isn't so boring after all.
