On 16th April 2024 Joe Rogan hosted a debate between archaeologist Flint Dibble and author Graham Hancock. Dibble said he came to debunk "pseudoarchaeology" with a "truth sandwich". What were its ingredients?

“Gobekli Tepe changes everything.” – Ian Hodder, Stanford University.1 In Episode 5 of my documentary series Ancient Apocalypse, released on Netflix in November 2022, I speak of GobekIi Tepe in southeastern Turkey, which is reliably dated to around 11,600 years ago. I introduce it as the oldest megalithic archaeological site […]

Graham responds to the SAA letter to Netflix and ITN.

I put this out across my social media on Sunday 22nd January 2023: Twitter Facebook author page Facebook personal page Here are clickable links from the post: Joe Rogan Experience Episode 1897 of 10th November 2022, to hold a debate with me on a future episode of the show. My […]

An important issue of censorship raised in my Netflix docuseries Ancient Apocalypse was the fact that I and my film crew from ITN Productions were banned from filming at Serpent Mound in Ohio. In episode 6 of the series, in front of the closed gates of Serpent Mound, I read […]

My Netflix docuseries Ancient Apocalypse (https://www.netflix.com/title/81211003), stirred up a hornet’s nest when it was released on November 11th 2022. Immediately – in some cases even before viewing the series – archaeologists mounted a furious response consisting almost entirely of deeply offensive ad hominem vilifications depicting me as a promoter of […]

In my 2019 book America Before I devote seven chapters, more than 90 pages, to the implications of recent remarkable discoveries in the Amazon rainforest. These include great cities overgrown by the jungle, immense earthwork mounds and henges, astronomically-aligned megalithic sites, evidence of sophisticated agricultural techniques and evidence of advanced […]

We warmly welcome Graham Hancock as our featured author for May with his book VISIONARY: THE MYSTERIOUS ORIGINS OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS — a newly released update of his 2005 book Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind. To give a flavour of the book’s wide-ranging subject matter, we offer […]

Consciousness – we all have it, yet it’s one of the greatest mysteries of science. Exactly what it is, how it works, what it’s for, and what its implications are for our understanding of “reality”, remain matters of speculation, not of fact. I recently joined biologist Rupert Sheldrake on a […]

By Graham Hancock Photographs by Santha Faiia For more than a year I’ve been deeply immersed in a major new project that involves Karahan Tepe, in Turkey’s Anatolia region, it’s better-known sister site Gobekli Tepe, and many other enigmatic ancient sites in many different parts of the world. I was […]

Recent scientific news (see here: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/stones-mastodon-bones-debate-america-first-settlers) strongly supports the controversial claim in my 2019 book AMERICA BEFORE that humans reached the Americas 130,000 years ago. The arguments will go on but this new paper is a great step forward. See Chapter 5, “Message from a Mastodon”, of AMERICA BEFORE: grahamhancock.com/america-before/ […]

“God wanted to hide his secrets in a secure place. ‘Would I put them on the moon?’ He reflected. ‘But then, one day human beings could get there, and it could be that those who would arrive there would not be worthy of the secret knowledge. Or perhaps I should […]

There has never been a time of greater potential for the liberation of the human spirit than the time we live in today, and never a moment when the human spirit has stood in greater jeopardy. Huge forces of awakening are at work amongst us, but huge forces also operate […]

Were psychedelics used in the ancient world? Here’s the 4-minute answer I gave to that question when I was interviewed at the Glastonbury Festival (hence background music) in June 2016. The topics covered in this video are explored at length in my 2005 book Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers […]

Synchronicity! I’m settling down to start work on the first chapter of Volume 4 of my War God series of novels about the Spanish conquest of Mexico when a report pops up in my newsfeed announcing that archaeologists have discovered the remains of the palace where the Mexica Emperor Moctezuma […]

Did impacts and airbursts from multiple fragments of a disintegrating comet cause the onset of the Younger Dryas global cataclysm 12,800 years ago? After more than a decade of acrimonious scientific controversy around the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH), an important new book by eminent geologist Dr James L. Powell […]

Photo: In this picture, probably taken in 1957, I’m in India with my father Donald Macarthur Hancock and my mother Muriel Bruce Hancock. How the years have passed. How fleeting is the precious gift of life. “Stuff just keeps on getting older.”  It’s a catch phrase of mine and I […]

I can only be grateful to the Society for American Archaeology (SAA), the professional association for the archaeology of the Americas, for devoting no less than 27 pages of the November issue of its journal, The SAA Archaeological Record, to an attack on my 2019 book, America Before: The Key […]

I’ve had beautiful and traumatic experiences with Ayahuasca this week at Rythmia in Costa Rica. Santha and I and our daughter Shanti have been part of a group of close to 100 people and every ceremony has been magnificent and incredibly well handled. I have described in previous posts what […]

In my previous post (https://goo.gl/ZsQoJq) concerning Monday night’s Ayahuasca session here at Rythmia in Costa Rica I promised I would report back after the Tuesday night session. I didn’t because I was too devastated and overwhelmed. For the first time in 15 years working with the brew Mother Aya gave […]

After more than three years away from the brew, I drank Ayahuasca here in Costa Rica last night (Monday 26 Nov) at Rythmia (https://rythmialifeadvancementcenters.com/). I’m pleased to report that I had a beautiful experience filled with love and light. My previous session was early in 2015, and although I smoked […]

I’m at home in the UK completing the writing my next book, ‘America Before’. Over past few days, digging into the mystery of the incredible Newark and High Bank earthworks in Ohio, I broke my own writing rules. On two days my output didn’t exceed 500 words a day. On […]

I don’t mean to be morbid! I mean to celebrate the miracle and the mystery of life. As to death… well it’s anybody’s guess. Maybe we are meat robots, all matter, no spirit. A lot of people believe that. But its only a belief, not a fact. I think we’re […]
