Books by GRAHAM HANCOCK
Internationally bestselling author Graham Hancock's books have sold more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated into 27 languages. His public lectures and TV appearances, including the three-hour series Quest For The Lost Civilisation, have put his ideas before audiences of tens of millions. He has become recognised as an unconventional thinker who raises legitimate questions about humanity's history and prehistory and offers an increasingly popular challenge to the entrenched views of orthodox scholars.
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Hancock's early years were spent in India, where his father worked as a surgeon. Later he went to school and university in the northern English city of Durham and graduated from Durham University in 1973 with First Class Honours in Sociology. He went on to pursue a career in quality journalism, writing for many of Britain's leading newspapers including The Times, The Sunday Times, The Independent, and The Guardian. He was co-editor of New Internationalist magazine from 1976-1979 and East Africa correspondent of The Economist from 1981-1983.
Hancock's breakthrough to bestseller status came with the publication of The Sign and The Seal, his epic investigation into the mystique and whereabouts today of the lost Ark of the Covenant. "Hancock has invented a new genre," commented The Guardian, "an intellectual whodunit by a do-it-yourself sleuth." Fingerprints of the Gods confirmed Hancock's growing reputation. Described as "one of the intellectual landmarks of the decade" by the Literary Review, this book has now sold more than three million copies and continues to be in demand all around the world.
