April 8, 1998: Mars & Egypt - Graham Hancock
Published 2 years, 1 month ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes bestselling author Graham Hancock live from Great Britain to discuss Mars, ancient Egypt, and the cataclysmic dangers facing Earth. Hancock shares his analysis of the controversial new Mars Global Surveyor photographs of the face on Mars, calling the rush to dismiss them premature and arguing that only a manned landing can settle the debate. He draws parallels to the disputed underwater monument at Yonaguni, Japan, where two qualified geologists reached opposite conclusions after diving the site together.
The conversation turns to the mysteries of Giza, where Hancock describes spending six hours with Dr. Zahi Hawass at the Sphinx and reports a new spirit of openness from Egyptian authorities. He discusses the high-speed drill evidence found by Flinders Petrie and Chris Dunn, the puzzling decision to close the Great Pyramid for eight months, and Edgar Cayce's 1998 prediction regarding the Hall of Records.
Hancock warns that Earth faces a clear and present danger from giant comet fragments on an Earth-crossing orbit, a threat he traces through the cataclysmic history of Mars itself. He predicts a potential impact event before the year 2030 and urges humanity to heed the warnings encoded in ancient monuments worldwide.
