Explored underwater archaeology with Mr Hancock. Found his theories interesting, but 'over the top.' The book's segment about Ancient Japan/Jomon held my attention ... Would like to read a condensed version of his research, one less speculative ...
An entertaining book. I like the idea that there was a world wide civilization that was the source of the flood myth that seem to be common among different cultures. It makes sense that human beings sailed and settled all over the world in the past 20,000 years and mapped it and observed the stars. It makes sense that a lot of the settlement and building was done along the coastlines and that these were the places that were most vulnerable to a rise in the oceans that occurred as the last Ice Ag...more
Was given the book to borrow due to my likings of all weird things History (I am currently watching that ridiculous Ancient Aliens show which should tell you a lot about me-no aliens in this book, thankfully). This was overall a pretty dry read, but there were some interesting bits here and there. I also liked that it focused on more obscure ancient societies than the ones you learn about in World History. I doubt I'll do a full review on this, but I did enjoy reading it even though some of the...more
The Mind Game of Interpreting Mythology: The book is a monument.. a big fat volume with small fonts and compressed spacing, of exactly 674 pages –if you excuse yourself from the postscripts and appendices, and at the end of the book, Hancock rues “ even so, there has not been space in this book for me to recount the results and experiences of all my own dives and expeditions – let alone all the dives and explorations that should be done in the future if we really want to know what’s out there” The...more

Very interesting, I've read most of Hancocks books , this one makes me want to take up diving
In essence this book was Graham Hancock's sequel to Fingerprints of the Gods and in other ways, it's an appendix to that book. In Fingerprints, Graham lays out his fundamental theory: that human civilization is far older than we think, and there existed a world spanning, Ice Age civilization, which was destroyed in an world wide cataclysm, which only left clue to its previous existence. It is a tall order for a journalist, with no background in archaeology to go forth and prove, and while Finger...more

There are not very many books on this subject (YET), so I had to read it for the second time in a couple of years. It could have gotten the job done in half the pages, but the territory covered is well worth the wade. Graham is now a fixture in the ongoing study of our very ancient past. He is a very thorough researcher, yet he is not stodgy. You feel like you are right there with him on a dive or negotiating with officials or having an off the cuff discussion with a scientist. Increasingly, the...more

A serendipitous find on my local library's shelves, Underworld is filling the time while I await God's Crucible. The primary concept put forth by the author is fluffy at first glance, that Sumeria was preceded by millennia of civilization yet undiscovered. The author however does not overreach when proposing this hypothesis which elevates him above Atlantean cranks. He is however an enthusiast drawing together compelling evidence for an antediluviuan civilization. Unfortuantely this evidence is...more
I'm almost done with this one. This book held my attention very well. Mr. Hancock explores under water coastal areas of India, Malta, Japan, etc in this book...for evidence of ancient civilizations. Lots of color pics in this book and a lot of amazing information is presented here. I'm amazed to learn about how little of the coastal regions have actually been studied by marine archeologists. Hancocks research is all spelled out in this book complete with many maps of the world before, after and...more

I found this book to be a better read than his earlier books, he's clearly progressed in his novel writing skills. As usual the books are though provoking, and make you want to hitch up your own scuba gear and go for a look see yourself. I think this would have worked better as a large coffee table type book with stunning pictures, but alas all we have are dark and unremarkable pictures of things that maybe kinda perhaps in the right light could be interpreted the way the author portrays them.

I find this type of book fancinating I have always had an interest in ancient history and studied it at high school This book studies actual facts of extensive civilisations that are underwater now and trying to work out where they went Not enough maps though .... I had to look up the Japanese islands mentioned in the 1st chapter online because I did not know where they were. I now know that Okinowa is on a island south west of Japan's southern island and is in a string of smaller islands where a lo...more

Demonstrates that remains of ancient (pre 8,000-10,000 BCE) cultures would most likely be found off present coasts, as sea level has risen hundreds of feet since the end of the last ice age.

After reading 'Fingerprints of the Gods', this is Graham Hancocks next foray into the jumble of data that speaks to a history ancient beyond imagination. Graham's theory is that the rising sea levels hide the ruins of ancient cultures, cultures that embedded themselves along coastlines, and built megalithic complexes as easily as we throw up skyscrapers. He dives off the coast of Japan, India, and Mediterranean lakes, hunting for truth, trying to piece together a story that makes sense of the fac...more
Whether his hypotheses ever turn out to be true or not, Graham Hancock is a master at presenting enough scientific or at least well-researched information that they stretch the possible boundaries of history that most of us take for granted. Were there ice age civilizations capable of building stone cities and monuments that were submerged when the ice sheets melted and raised sea levels 300ft over the course of a few thousand years? Well, there certainly seem to be plenty of fairly inexplicable...more
Not as good as Fingerprints of the Gods but with great evidence of a lost civilization now underwater.

Heavy reading; great detail; rather dry and undramatic. Having commenced reading this book; after purchasing it from an English supplier (it's a first edition); early in 2010 I finally finishing it in early 2013. The large gap in the middle involved two visits to Mumbai to get my teeth fixed, then a third longer visit in 2012 after I retired. This book was of course too heavy to take on such visits. The book can only be described as a tough, detailed, tantalizing, tough read. In all the theatres G...more

This is going to be a lengthy one, but not as massive as the book itself. I first want to say why I love Hancock's writing style and his attitude about knowledge. He writes about the joy of seeing and discovering new things. He doesn't just write them as facts but he writes of the magical side of seeing something for the first time, that awe inspiring leap of your heart. His attitude about knowledge is that he is just a regular guy seeing things and trying to understand them. He is open to any i...more
As a follower of Hancock's work for the last 10 years, I found this book to be a logical, well substantiated, and thorough continuation of his research into the theory of a lost antedeluvian civilization. He travels to and explores sites all over the world that are currently under water. The main thrust of the book is that there exist, all over the planet, ruins of structures seemingly created by man in regions that have been underwater for 10-12,000 years. This of course flies in the face of mo...more

In Fingerprints of the Gods, Graham Hancock sets out his theory of a lost advanced civilization of antiquity, a sort of 'mother culture' that still resonates with us in many ways through ancient myths and certain cultural phenomena (like the zodiac). But the theory cried out for proof, since a civlization generally leaves copious ruins, and in Underworld Hancock shows us where they are - underwater because they were built on ancient coastlines that are now submerged. Most people don't stop to th...more

18,000 years ago... during the Last Glacial Maximum there was no English Channel or North Sea. You could walk from London to Paris; London to Brussels (if they had existed). Today's shallow seas would have been dry land. The Yellow Sea of Korea would not exist. There would be no bay of Bhavnagar in India. The Persian Gulf would have been an Edenic garden north of Hormuz. Much of Oceania would have been one connected land mass; so too the islands of the Mediterranean. Scandinavia, Canada, Alaska,...more
Read this again because it has some interesting chapters about Malta, where I'll be going in September. The first time, about ten years ago, I couldn't finish this. I loved Hancock's other books and 'Underworld' has a subject that would make me love this one too, but something was wrong. After a couple of chapters I found myself hopelessly bored with this book. Too many digressions into his personal experiences that are supposed to make his quest more lively, but often turn out tedious asides be...more
Like all of Graham Hancock's books, the read is worth it for all of the cited research in history, geography, geology, archeology, astronomy, etc. One can disagree with Hancock's theories but the basic questions he poses in challenging the conventional wisdom are always intriguing. In Underworld, Hancock picks-up on his original theme in Fingerprints of the Gods and Message of the Sphinx; human civilization is much older than historical and archaeological conventional wisdom dates it. It's worth th...more

Someone once told me that my Hindu soul has predisposed me to accept that nothing is immutable. Perhaps that is why I was far less inscensed by this book than other people seem to be. Why not question widely accepted timelines of historians? Almost every other day we hear about shocking discoveries that completely disprove previously held 'facts'. So why not look at information without attempting to make it fit preconceived notions? And yes, my Hindu soul has definitely predisposed me to believe...more

This is a very documented verification of the levels of the ocean pre and post ice age glaciation. It verifies through actual diving and documentation of submerged cities and human occupation of areas now submerged by as much as 300ft below sea level. Pre-glacial maximum levels---glacial maximum and post-glacial levels are all documented and put on a timeline that prooves in my mind that the Canadian Laurentide shield melted and built a gigantic ice dam in the Hudson Bay outlet that broke sudden...more
This was a very intriguing book and it was about ancient history. I admit that I haven't been that in to piles of stones etc. but this one made it really something else. There was a bit too much repetition during the book, like for example in the Malta-tooth radiocarbon case, that went on and on. Hancock made it clear how much he wondered how mainstream archeologists came to their conclusions when all the evidence speaks contrary. It's funny how much has changed in couple of decades. I was taugh...more
I really enjoyed this one, tons of information! People really need to get over complaining about Graham repeating things, I see that as a complaint in a lot of reviews, get over, hes trying to make a point! I hope more people read this, and other books, that try to point out that our history has been truncated by academia, historians and archaeologists need to open their minds and stop denying our past! There's more to history than in the history books! GET EXCITED ABOUT THAT! Don't get angry or e...more
I thorougly enjoyed Graham Hancock's 'Underworld.' I found his writing style approachable and his arguments and logic easy to follow. Though a journalist, and not a scientist, he puts forth excellent scientific and archaeological for civilization very likely being much older than we've been led to believe by the mainstream history books. I like his approach. He presents his evidence and leaves the reader to make up their own mind. He often admits that more research needs to be done to prove or d...more
A very good read or even a great one if you are interested in archaeology, anthropology, or pre-history in general. WARNING: If you prefer the establishment version (in many case, just guesses that were made by the 'greats' in the field a long time ago), don't read here. For want of a better term, this is is often fringe evidence and theorizing by researcher not married to the mainstream. Don't worry though, not an ancient alien in sight.

Remember that scene in Forrest Gump, where Forrest gets the football and runs right down the field into the endzone . . . and then through the endzone and out of the stadium? Right. Hancock's books are kind of like that for me. He presents some interesting ideas, and then he gets caught up in weird conspiracy theories and Absolute Conviction. I feel a little guilty for reading the whole thing.

“Another extraordinary similarity concerns the presence of Seven Sages in both the Sumerian and Vedic traditions. Most ancient societies, I concede, had their sages or seers or wise men -- in India they were, and still are, called rishis. But it seems to me to be stretching coincidence too far to find a group specifically named the 'Seven Sages' prominently associated with two separate ancient cultures and to imagine that this did not come about through some sort of connection. In the case of Sumer the Seven Sages were depicted as amphibian, 'fish-garbed' beings who emerged from the sea in antediluvian times to teach wisdom to mankind. In the case of the Vedas the focus is not on the antediluvian period but on the flood itself and those antediluvians who are claimed to have survived it, namely Manu and the Seven Sages.” — 0 likes

“The Sanskrit texts make it clear that a cataclysm on this scale, though a relatively rare event, is expected to wash away all traces of the former world and that the slate will be wiped clean again for the new age of the earth to begin. In order to ensure that the Vedas can be repromulgated for future mankind after each pralaya the gods have therefore designed an institution to preserve them -- the institution of the Seven Sages, a brotherhood of adepts possessed of unerring memories and supernatural powers, practitioners of yoga, performers of the ancient rituals and sacrifices, ascetics, spiritual visionaries, vigilant in the battle against evil, great teachers, knowledgeable beyond all imagining, who reincarnate from age to age as the guides of civilization and the guardians of cosmic justice.” — 0 likes
