It's interesting, at least.

A book that gives me a lot of studying to do.

Some of my friends in the Esoteric Online Religious Extremist community (code name EORE) have recommended books to me over the years that I never got around to reading. There can be many reasons for this: the book is out of print, the book is only available in the 19th Centurty Jzrikistani language with a translation by TrippinBalls420, or the book is titled something like “Here’s Why We Should Exterminate These Twelve Million People In Particular.”

EORE is, if nothing else, an intriguing overlap of ideologies. If a Discord server has five hundred users in it, three of them are tards. Those tards have federal credentials. Understand what I am telling you.

Thus it was that when someone recommended I check out the writings of gonzo archaeologist Graham Hancock, my main reason for entertaining the notion was his (excellent) first name. My audiobook dealer of choice (which is doesn’t sponsor me and thus goes unnamed) had a few of his titles for free. I finally read one last week.

Guys, it’s pretty insane, and also very cool and good. There is math involved so he might not be wrong in his observations.

How to sum this book up? Okay. Here we go:

  1. Hancock theorizes that past civilizations on Earth were given knowledge by a highly advanced race with regards to the movement of the planets, the stars in the sky, and cyclical patterns of destruction that regularly wipe out entire nations.

  2. Even these low-tech civilizations were able to wrap their heads around the need to warn people in the future, so they built massive monuments (like the pyramids) chock full of geometric and mathematic numbers in their architecture that, when decoded, reveal the patterns of global destruction. Storms, flooding, freezing, earthquakes, etc.

  3. These cataclysms are caused by movements in the heavens—the pull of the Moon on Earth doesn’t just cause oceanic tides, but tectonic and magmatic tides as well, for example. Since math is the universal language, warning about it with numbers made sense.

  4. We’re just starting to understand some of these messages in the architecture of the Egyptian pyramids, but the problem with the South American pyramids is that most of them were corrupted or destroyed by conquistadors 500 years ago. We don’t know what was in them or what they warned.

  5. Graham Hancock puts a ton of effort into explaining his research methods and his theories on all of this stuff, calmly and with evidence along the way.

  6. It was not what I expected and it was very good.

The primary limitation on all of this stuff—outside of my faith in God and in His timing—is my lack of scientific and/or historical knowledge in the same fields that Hancock has studied. And even with that knowledge, I would then need to travel and observe and study all the same things he has on my own, to measure my results against his.

(That’s called science, but don’t tell Reddit that a religibro understands that. They won’t believe you.)

Anyway, with a scope this huge it’s hard to distill all of the really interesting tidbits into the summary of the larger whole. I can only say you should read it. I am glad I did. I’m gonna read more of his stuff.
