New Age. Nonfiction. HTML:

Less than fifty thousand years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers.

In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind. His quest takes him on a detective journey from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds extraordinary Stone Age art. He uncovers clues that lead him to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful hallucinogen Ayahuasca with shamans, whose paintings contain images of "supernatural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other "dimensions." Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted caves be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent that we have barely begun to understand?

An interesting book on the spirit world as accessed with DMT. The author makes the case that theriomorphic cave art, Otherworld visions, and UFOs are actually different cultural views of the same place. Lots of detail and information on these periods, as well as entheogens. ( )

I didn’t like this book as much as I did Fingerprints of the Gods. It was okay but I was hoping for more information on terrestrial matters and less about the Greys etc. I look forward to reading other books by Graham Hancock.

I actually the entire book from cover to cover back in 2010, mostly because my mother had read one of his other books and had really liked it.

My honest opinion? Maybe he should stop with the Ayahuasca...? Seriously, he presents some very intriguing ideas, and I might even agree with him on some points. Understand, I don't believe in any god, but I don't think I want to follow the teachings of beings from another universe who want to better the human race either.

But, I do like his ideas of reaching parts of the brain and parts of the mind (because they are not really the same thing) and learning from those experiences. Wish I could try it, without the mind-altering drugs.

With an open mind, this is a very interesting read. ( )

If you want to know why hallucinogenics are banned this book helps you understand the reasons for it. The revelations should shock you out of the lies you have been fed by the powers that be.
Most people believe the lie that the ban is imposed because these type of drugs are dangerous. Well if they were that concerned about us all why have they not banned guns, knives,alcohol, tobacco and cars.
No the reason is because under the influence of hallucinogenics people are able to see the deeper nature of our reality, and the world is not how it seems to our five sense world of perception.
I think Hancock makes the excellent point, that when the government tells you, what you can and cannot ingest, then you are not in control of your own mind. Anyone claiming that they are can really be called deluded.
This book is a must read book and needs to be on your bookshelves! ( )

One of the most amazing books of the year, this nonfiction tome travels the road of science and then departs where science dares not to tread--psychedelia. Hancock, a sterling reporter and writer, goes around the world sampling shamanic brews and finds a link between the visions the cause and the markings in early Cro-Magnon caves. He surmises, is this where religion came from? Is this the sudden jump that mankind made from Neanderthal to Cro-Magnon superiority.
I was fascinated from cover to cover--and I don't do drugs. I think Hancock is on to something that our government and establishment scientists don't want us to know.
A dangerous and necessary book. ( )
