Resumen del Editor

"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.

“Previously published as Supernatural (2015), this new definitive edition of Visionary includes a new Introduction by Graham Hancock as well as restored chapters that were omitted from the original paperback release. …deftly narrated by Hancock and will have a very special appeal to students and non-specialist general readers who are interest in anthropology, prehistory, and human evolution.” —Midwest Book Review

Excellent!!

Mr. Hancock’s theories are presented in a way that makes them seem very plausible. Lots to think about!

Aggressively thought provoking!

This book and its author, Graham Hancock, exemplify fealty and consistency to the scientific method, surpassing establishment academics who misrepresent and distort it to confirm their materialistic presuppositions and dogmatic beliefs. Hancock's work represents a vital step in the inward journey, offering numerous irresistible avenues of exploration for those seeking inner and greater truths about self, life, reality, existence, and our creator.

Graham Hancock is pure gold!

Graham Hancock is pure gold!

Amazing work by the highly respectable author of Fingerprints of the Gods.

Beautifully Narrated

I am glad Mr. Hancock narrated this book. He so passionate about the content and it comes out during his narration.

Good Graham Hunting

I enjoy listen graham. I first encountered him on the Joe Rogan podcast. Very inspiring.

Very and surprisingly interesting

I like Hancock’s older writing but was at first skeptical of this book. It is very, very interesting and I stand corrected in my original skepticism.

Cave paintings portraying “ impaled individuals

Please read Emmanuel Velicovskys Worlds in collision. The free floating images without horizon reference being impaled multiple times from different angles especially from the vertical and above sound exactly like the description of lowered gravitation with an inability to stay on the ground due to the electromagnetic discharges from planetary/ Comet interaction

Interesting

Would suggest you listen to this twice. Lot of information to absorb, take your time. Enjoy

Great Listen
