Check out EP08 of the Forbidden Book Club, written and presented by David Thrussell. In this episode, David explores 'The Hollow Earth' by Dr Raymond Bernard, a book that imagines a hidden world within our own, home to mysterious creatures, landscapes, 'alien' civilisations and technology. David's video examines who wrote this book and how this enduring legend has captivated audiences worldwide.

Jim Vieira & Greg Maestro, authors of Footprints of the Gods: Extra Digits the Mark of the Giants, are the featured authors on my website this month. Their book explores a strange and overlooked mystery: polydactylism, the presence of extra fingers or toes, and its curious connection to ancient civilisations, myths and human origins. Across cultures and centuries, references to extra digits appear in Sumerian texts, biblical accounts, folklore and indigenous traditions, repeatedly linked to giants, gods and the earliest humans. Drawing on ancient artefacts, rock art and historical narratives, and treating oral tradition with the seriousness it deserves, Jim and Greg reveal patterns hiding in plain sight, inviting readers to question long-held assumptions and reconsider humanity’s origins. In the article linked below, Jim takes readers on a journey through ancient Oceania, examining a range of enigmatic myths and rock art depicting the same biologically rare and oddly specific trait that keeps appearing across cultures separated by vast distances and millennia.

Ed Barnhart and I don't see eye to eye on much when it comes to the deep past, but that's exactly why I value our conversations. He's a rigorous archaeologist, and even though we approach these mysteries from very different angles, he always engages with warmth and good humour. Civil, curious disagreement is how knowledge actually advances. In this new video, featured on my website and YouTube Channel, Ed turns to one of the most intriguing legends of the Inca Empire — the story of a sacred mirror said to have guided Pachacuti, the ruler who transformed a small Andean kingdom into one of the greatest empires in history.

In a fascinating new article on my website, Hugh Newman argues that solstice-watching is a tradition far older than the Pre-Pottery Neolithic and reaches deep into the Upper Palaeolithic. Hugh draws together a wide range of evidence, from the illuminated stone head at Karahan Tepe to Göbekli Tepe, Jericho, submerged Atlit Yam, and on to the early sky-watchers of Britain at Warren Field, Stonehenge and a newly announced 2026 discovery near Bulford. From it, an astonishing picture emerges: what we are seeing at these remarkable sites is the work of sophisticated sky-watchers, and the builders of Karahan Tepe were the inheritors of a legacy tens of thousands of years in the making.

Roland van Rosenveld, an architect with nearly four decades of experience, presents his theory on how the Great Pyramid was built in this new video, linked below and featured on my website. Roland joined my Grand Tour of Egypt earlier this year, which was his first-ever visit to the pyramids, and what followed was an intense period of work culminating in a compelling, hands-on theory he believes is written into the architecture itself, hiding in plain sight.

In episode 7 of The Forbidden Book Club, linked below, David Thrussell explores The Hidden History of the Human Race by Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson. Published in 1994, the book draws on the Vedic perspective and argues that human beings have existed for millions, even hundreds of millions, of years, presenting evidence that has apparently been ignored and suppressed by mainstream science.

Gratitude to the universe and to all friends everywhere for so many kind wishes. My cardiac surgery went well -- better than expected. I'll update properly next week. Meanwhile, I'm home, surrounded by love, am enjoying a great reawakening of energy and intend to dive into writing Chapter 21 of my new book tomorrow. Happy Summer Solstice!

[Graham Hancock @Graham__Hancock]

Ronnie Pontiac, author of The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society, is the featured author on my website this month. His book explores the far-reaching influence of the Rosicrucian movement on thinkers such as Descartes, Shakespeare, Newton, Goethe, and Jung, and shows how its spirit still echoes in modern pop culture and psychedelic circles. He reframes the Rosicrucians not as an order of superhuman masters but as a genuine counterculture, a recurring eruption of suppressed knowledge that surfaces whenever a stagnant status quo demands renewal. In his article, linked below, Ronnie introduces the Rosicrucian enigma itself: the panic it sparked, the surveillance state it quietly defied, the still-unsolved riddle of who wrote the manifestos, and the radical message at its heart, that the power to remake our world begins with us.

My conversation with Steven Bartlett for his Diary of a CEO Podcast was published 11th June. Encouraged as I write today to see that it's had a good number of views: https://t.co/Bec8caT7a1
Although there is much more in retrospect that I wish I'd said, this dialogue with Steven is one of the  most meaningful I've had in years of such appearances -- but I'm not responsible for the title! Although we do talk about Antarctica, its place in the overall conversation is small and there's much else that matters to me much more. Meanwhile, deep gratitude to all who have sent me good wishes for my surgery later this week which looms very close. I'm living and breathing my new book right now and I just last night finished writing Chapter 20,  but this is all such an upheaval that it would be pointless to dive into Chapter 21 until after the procedure. When I'm writing I usually have quite a relentless work ethic but I think I'll take the rest of today off, chill with Santha and see if we can find a good movie to watch.

[Graham Hancock @Graham__Hancock]

Heartfelt gratitude – literally! – to all the kind people who have taken the trouble to send me good wishes here… I’m sorry I can’t answer each comment individually, but please know that your encouragement means everything to me, keeps me positive and makes me stronger.

[Graham Hancock @Graham__Hancock]

I have heart surgery coming up next week and now understand why I’ve been so physically exhausted and out-of-sorts these past few months. The docs tell me my condition is called “atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation” and that it is “mainly due to long standing atrial fibrillation… The tricuspid valve is leaking severely, causing a back pressure on all the internal organs and a high jugular venous pressure.” The procedure aims to get this old body back on the road again quickly and efficiently.  It is VERY LOW RISK but of course I’m grateful for any good wishes sent my way. I’m in the midst of writing a new book, the best work I’ve ever done, and I’m not going to let this stop me! I said yes to the linked podcast now, rather than after my procedure, for reasons that I explain during the interview:

@FlintDibble Thank you Flint. Wishing you well in your own continuing recovery.

Jonathan Black, author of The Secret History of the Universe, has written a thought-provoking new article for my website exploring 5 phrases that reveal intellectual dishonesty in action, phrases that should raise alarm bells in a debate. Black draws on Hume and the philosophy of science to show why these stock sceptical responses are often either ignorant of how science actually works or deliberately misleading.

A shout out for Ed Barnhart @ArchaeologistEd who appeared with me at the Mayan site of Palenque in Episode 6 of Season 2 of my Netflix series Ancient Apocalypse. Ed and I disagree about many things but it's always constructive and based on mutual respect. I highly recommend his YouTube channel for some excellent thought-provoking content.

I enjoyed chatting to Prakhar Gupta for his new channel PGX Ideas. Recorded 30th March 2026. Published today 13th May 2026. Much has happened to me in the intervening six weeks. Will share in due course. Meanwhile deep in the writing of my next book, hence posting less here. Many thanks to all who have found some value in my work.

Of course my post doesn't support Surovell! My purpose was to draw attention to this commendable scholarly refutation of his useless and misleading research. It's always interesting to see crusading debunkers like Surovell getting debunked but there is still a long way to go. The self-styled debunkers of the YDIH are next. Hopefully this clears up my position for you, and thank you for your question.

[Graham Hancock @Graham__Hancock]

Archaeology's self-styled debunkers often play fast and loose with the truth. Now a covert agenda to bring back "Clovis First" from the dead:

@farmer_tr You've either misread my post or misread the article...
