Analyzing Fingerprints of the Gods Part 1: Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings #grahamhancock #atlantis

The first video in what will be a long series, examining the claims in Fingerprints of the Gods, and the common criticisms. This episode covers part 1, chapters 1-3, Mystery of the Maps. Lots of maps purported to show Antarctics, how do they hold up to scrutiny?

If you find the background music too distracting, here's a link to a version without it:

Love your channel! Great to see someone calm, respectful, and inquisitive being neither gullible nor dismissive.

one thing to mention is something Randal Carlson has spoken about is during the medieval warming period that would have been during the renaissance period. If the maps were made during this time you could understand why those areas of Antarctica would be ice free. The maps were said to have or suggested to have been made in the 1500s or even 1400s would be harder to believe considering that would have been in the little ice age from 1100s and ending in 1800. So if the maps are from the Renaissance or even the Roman Warming Period it is understandable why those locations would be ice free and why there would be size difference in small islands. As for old maps not matching modern maps when it comes to rivers can be easily explained by just looking at the Mississippi or Missouri rivers and how people are finding huge riverboats in cornfields in Missouri, Iowan and Illinois. One of which can be seen in Arabia steamboat museum that was dug up and re assembled exactly where it was sunk 167 years ago with the full cargo still intact and on display about 2, 085 ft away from the center of the Missouri river is today.

I haven't read it in twenty years. Thank you for the rehash and the logical analysis of the good and the bad data. I would love it if you did more of this book and his others.

Im digging the 80's HR safety video music

You should reach out too see if Hancock will come on your show.

[dahat]

Embarrassingly, I completely agreed with Milo in his distrust of the government and didn't give it another thought. Thank you for another thorough, yet easily understandable explaination!

[Broccoliboiii]

I just found your channel today and so far I love all your videos!

[phil]

Just stumbled across your channel as i am in the middle of listening to fingerprints of tbe gods fur the first time so this seeues is perfectly timed for me. Can't wait for your next video on this topic.

[joshuaplank]

These are great videos I'm just sad there are only two for this book!

[silvergalaxie]

well thought out&well spoken. I see that quantity
&depth of ice, throughout tens of thousands of
years, preclude anything like ice free(ice core
data)

[Andrew-bire]

Thanks for another video Dan and good to see you’re feeling better after last week. I think going through and evaluating/dedunking Hancock’s earlier works is a great idea for a series

[WillyOrca]

FINALLY. WHAT WEVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.

[josephbest]

Good content as usual but this felt like a 22 minute long short. I think it was the music and you seemed to have quite a fast pace to your speech, which I haven’t noticed before. Any thanks for your work and looking forward to future instalments.

[canucksaram]

Thank you for making this excellent video.

from wiki: Oboe was a British bomb aiming system developed to allow their aircraft to bomb targets accurately in any type of weather, day or night. Oboe coupled radar tracking with radio transponder technology.

I just reread "Fingerprints" to better see the differences between it and "Magicians".. I'm definitely looking forward to this video!

Great video again. It honestly amazes me that historians assume that no cultures or civilizations known or unknown with boats wouldn’t have sailed anywhere except close coastal waters or the Mediterranean. There’s are relief in Hatshepsut’s tomb of huge boats with swordfish in the water beneath them, so they at least sailed in some ocean. There’s even some evidence that the Egyptians sailed to Australia (yes, I know Wikipedia says the Gosford Glyphs are a hoax but when people actually translate them it tells a compelling story, and also uses specific Middle-New Kingdom hieroglyphs that wouldn’t have been known in the early 1900s). The confirmation from the US Air Force is compelling, but looking at your post on Reddit some people are very distrustful of the govt, and considering the track record rightly so. I feel like you should have way more subs than you do, but keep it up man. I mention your videos to people all the time, especially skeptics, because I feel like you always give the ideas a fair shake and aren’t afraid to call BS when you feel it is.

Picked a great soundtrack for the video

Interesting review, I have this book on my shelf, and Hapgood's books also. Your opinion is similar to mine but I do think Hapgood's crust displacement theory is still a possibility. I have seen people saying Hapgood has been disproved but I don't think that is actually accurate.
Hapgood suffered from being a bit too early to have much good information about the Earth's internal structure, and because of this he spent some time in his book trying to discount continental drift, wrongly, and also misidentified which layer of the Earth might slip during a displacement event. The boundary between the core and the mantle is at 6, 000 C, and is liquid rock above and liquid metal below - I think this could slip quite easily.
