The evidence revealed in this book shows beyond reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age was destroyed in the global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago. But there were survivors - known to later cultures by names such as "the Sages", "the Magicians", "the Shining Ones", and "the Mystery Teachers of Heaven".

The fate of the Lost Ark of the Covenant is one of the great historical mysteries of all time. The Bible contains hundreds of references to the Ark's power, but the Ark itself mysteriously disappears from recorded history sometime after the building of the Temple of Solomon. After 10 years of searching through the dusty archives of Europe and the Middle East, Graham Hancock has succeeded where scores of others have failed. This intrepid journalist has tracked down the true story behind the myths and legends - revealing where the Ark is today, how it got there, and why it remains hidden.

From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U.S. Government-approved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected 60 volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. DMT, a plant-derived chemical found in the psychedelic Amazon brew, ayahuasca, is also manufactured by the human brain. In Strassman's volunteers, it consistently produced near-death and mystical experiences.

Weaving together a new view of the origins and antiquity of civilization and the dynamics of the planet we live on, Schoch maintains we must heed the megalithic warning of the past and collectively prepare for future events.

It is now in vogue to celebrate non-Western cultures and disparage Western ones. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning, but much of it fatally undermines the very things that created the greatest, most humane civilization in the world. In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric.

Terence McKenna hypothesizes that as the North African jungles receded, giving way to savannas and grasslands near the end of the most recent ice age, a branch of our arboreal primate ancestors left the forest canopy and began living in the open areas beyond. There they experimented with new varieties of foods as they adapted, physically and mentally, to the environment. Among the new foods found in this environment were psilocybin-containing mushrooms.

Ever since the Greeks coined the language we commonly use for scientific description, mythology and science have developed separately. But what came before the Greeks? What if we could prove that all myths have one common origin in a celestial cosmology? What if the gods, the places they lived, and what they did are but ciphers for celestial activity, a language for the perpetuation of complex astronomical data?

The secretive Mysteries conducted at Eleusis in Greece for nearly two millennia have long puzzled scholars with strange accounts of initiates experiencing otherworldly journeys. In this groundbreaking work, three experts - a mycologist, a chemist, and a historian - argue persuasively that the sacred potion given to participants in the course of the ritual contained a psychoactive entheogen. The authors then expand the discussion to show that natural psychedelic agents have been used in spiritual rituals across history and cultures.

As much as 7,000 years older than the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, its strange buildings and rings of T-shaped monoliths - built with stones weighing from 10 to 15 tons - show a level of sophistication and artistic achievement unmatched until the rise of the great civilizations of the ancient world, Sumer, Egypt, and Babylon.

Publisher's Summary
"With the original unabridged text of Supernatural, I offer the reader an investigation that explores the human experience with psychedelics from the Stone Age to the Space Age and the role of these extraordinary plant medicines as tools to investigate the nature of reality itself." (Graham Hancock)
Discover the pathway to the gods.
Less than 50,000 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 Visionary, Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to modern human mind. His quest takes him on a journey of adventure and detection from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to remote rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds a treasure trove of extraordinary Stone Age art.
Hancock uncovers clues that lead him to travel to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful plant hallucinogen ayahuasca with Indian shamans, whose paintings contain images of "supernatural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves and rock shelters. 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 and rock shelters be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "blind," "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent, something that we have barely even begun to understand?
Previously published as Supernatural, this definitive edition includes a new Introduction by Graham Hancock as well as restored chapters that were omitted from the original paperback release.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Loved this update to Supernatural! As always Graham takes you where other authors fear to tried. And fear to go there themselves for true knowledge instead of just beliefs. Been feeling alone with the correlation between faery and ufo. And the true path of shamanic practice that permeates global cultures. Thanks for that.

Unbelievably brilliant!
Hancock lays out very clearly the potential origins of altered states of consciousness and it’s linked to, potentially the some of the most important discoveries about human history, the human genome and the potential for where our race could be, should we choose a more enlightened and peaceful path for ourselves. A fantastically well researched body of work.

Superb and Groundbreaking
Visionary (or Supernatural) is not only a unique exploration of one of the most crucial areas of inquiry, human consciousness, it is also a fascinating re-evaluation of the history of supernatural phenomena.
Visionary is a highly comprehensive treasure trove of Supernatural encounters, ranging from Shamanistic Visions, UFO abductions, so-called encounters with Fairies, to experiences at sights of apparitions, such as Lourdes.
An additional strength of the book is Hancock's own experimentation with DMT, ranging from Ayahuasca, Psylocibin, Ibogen and Liberty Cap Mushrooms.
Visionary is another excellent case against the Materialist-Reductionist Paradigm that is far too prevalent in our day and age, but is also an immensely insightful and fascinating tour de force.
An additional strength is narration by Graham Hancock himself, always a strength in itself.
One of the most recommendable books I have ever read. Should be read by all.

Aka old man finds excuse to take drugs.
I love Hancock and his writings, having listened and read the majority of his work. This retelling of an earlier book is just as relevant and easy to listen to as it was on publication 20 years ago.
But what makes this special in my mind is it’s narrated by Hancock himself - with all the trappings that are a part of his unusual dialect. For me his Joan of Arc and U.F.Os are what make his narrations so enthralling, what will he ‘mispronounce’ next?! For some it may be too distracting.
Not his best, but still a great listen!

Very interesting and thought provoking subject matter, brilliantly read by the man himself.
The world is not as it seems and great mysteries remain unsolved as to the origins of mankind and early civilisation.
This book provides a very credible investigation into fascinating topics that for some strange reason are not usually explored by mainstream.
