Graham Hancock Petroglyph & Rock Art tour, Utah

Prehistoric rock art, cave paintings and petroglyphs from all parts of the world show extraordinary similarities and even identical figures -- yet these ancient cultures were often separated by thousands of years of time and thousands of miles of geographical distance and were not in contact with one another. In this clip from a visit to rock art sites in Utah's canyon country, arranged as part of the October 2010 Reality Sandwich retreat at the Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch, Graham Hancock argues that shamanic altered states of consciousness, often brought on by the use of entheogenic plants, are the most likely answer to the mystery. For a more detailed explanation see Graham's last non-fiction book Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind. His first novel Entangled also delves into this mystery.

MORE, MORE, MORE VIDEOS THANKS GRAHAM YOUR THE MAN AND HAVE HAD A HUGE AFFECT ON MY THOUGHTS!

[grahamhancock]

Thanks your comment hueco52 but peyote does have three syllables as I pronounce it in the video at 6:28, not two as you seem to think. You'll find helpful links to the correct pronunciation in the video description box above. In my view this just makes you wrong on this one point and not, as you judge me, "quite possibly a fraud".

Geez, a tour with Mr freaking Hancock himself. That must be quite a treat.

Graham Hancock. I applaud you for your intrigue on many topics. Altered states, ancient man, our past, history and our connection to each other. Asking the important questions. You are a major player in the game of waking the main stream up. As a seeker of truth I am extremely grateful for your contribution to society.
There is a hole in your logic however. And i have to approach you about this topic.
I'm not claiming to have all the answers, and this statement i believe i share with you. This arena is about seeking knowledge.


You are discounting the plasma physics side of our past and the work of Anthony Peratt. He is one of the top plasma Physicists of our time. And is working on archaeological evidence for major space plasma events in pre history. He has gone around the world with a team to document hundreds of thousands of petroglyphs, their orientation, and similarities. loading the immages into a super computer at Los Alamos Labs, and mapping the whole world of rock art. Independant from the Thunderbolts Project.
Your friend Robert Shock has been a speaker at the Thunderbolts Project Conference 2012. And Randel Carlson also brings this group up briefly with Joe rogan.
Why this has not Blown Up with all of 'your' influence is a mystery to me. There is proof of a catastrophe all around the globe. These writings on the wall from our past are not DNA strands or psychic visions. They are, from the research of David Talbott, Wall Thornhill, and Anthony Peratt, Plasma Instabilities from space seen Globally.


From what I've heard in past recordings of you, you are not naive to this information.
This evidence is Damning to many of your theories and pronunciations of what our fore bearers were trying to tell us.
Peratt and Petroglyphs.








I appreciate your contributions to our society. And I think your arrogance and willful blindness to this reality is hindering our civilization to some extent.
If we cannot see clearly our past traumas, we will continue to live in a state of amnesia.


All the Best to you. Never stop seeking the truth Graham.
With love
Dustin

Some argue that the reason for universal likeness, in amongst other things, cave art and ancient symbolism, is because thing took place in the sky above that is identical from all over the world.
Try searching for "symbols of an alian sky" by David talbot and also look into the electrical universe theory

Beautiful video! Thanks for bringing us along on your travels, Mr. Hancock! And thanks for the lovely message at the end..!

Graham Hancock is a very wise man, but then again he went to university in my home town, the beautiful historic city of Durham.Where many wise people have emerged.

very interesting interpretation. I also recommend looking up Anthony Peratt- he explained many petroglyphs with plasma discharges

[myksmenagerie]

This is amazing!!! My friend & I were looking at some rocks (we're rock hounds & see things in the rocks that others don't) then I watched your video this morning & I'll be damned----what you explained is what we see in that rock!!!

[kevinallupinit]

I truly believe that an advanced ancient society does not need to mean they would have had what we consider high technology such as,  telephones, phonographs, or the personal computer.

[WhiteOpsDude]

We thank you Graham for all your work and for all your teaching!

[jolugamar]

Gracias por su trabajo señor Hancock. Ojalá existiesen sus trabajos en español. Muchos millones de personas en el mundo latinoamericano se beneficiarían de sus obras audiovisuales.
Hasta pronto mr Hancock
