- great!
this is one of my favorite books i picked it up by chance some time ago in an airport and it has inspired great and lasting interest for me in almost all of the subjects mentioned within also leading to my purchasing of a large number of the books graham hancock has referenced in supernatural(these are also listed on his site with direct links to amazon.com). i have not read any of his other books. i have recomended it to many of my freinds.i also gained some artistic inspiration from reading this book.
part of the books section on cave art i admitidly felt like i had to 'work through' but afterwards the lenthy nature seemed neccacery.parts of the book challanged my general opinions of certain subjects but in my opinion this is to be expected ... Read More:

- Supernatural indeed!
Since I'm a conventional "sceptic" of the pro-establishment variety, reading and reviewing this book was a real challenge. Graham Hancock is a controversial "alternativist" writer based in Britain, but constantly on the move all around the globe (and beyond?). Real Egyptologists, archeologists and historians usually regard him as pseudo-scientific. Indeed, his books are filled with all the stuff we sceptics just LOVE to hate: hyper-diffusionism, pyramidology, the face on Mars and (surprise) the Illuminati. "Supernatural" is Hancock's latest work. In some ways, it's even crazier than his earlier ones. But in some other ways, it's actually better. Yes, my Satanist friends will be surprised that I of all people said that...

- More Research Needed
I recently purchased this book. It was great except for one thing. Hancock totally ignores Western Tradition. We also have Shamans, mainly Celtic ones like John Matthews who does not rely on drugs. Also it is surprising that Hancock's visions were the same as the ones of his hosts. Normally it is impossible to access the otherworld of another tradition. He should have seen the symbols of Celtic/Norse tradition. He also ignores the fact that modern that modern day Wiccans still work with the Sidhe (fairy folk). They have not just turned into grey aliens. He would be advised to read 'The Song of Taliesin' and read the chapters 'Journey to the Summer Stars' and 'Defence of the Chair' then see if he comes to the same conclusions.

- Thought provoking
Another good book by Graham Hancock that like his other books really makes you think.
In the first 2 parts the author looks at stone age art found in caves and rock shelters across Europe and Africa, and how these often very strange looking images frequently featuring beings that look part human part animal could have been depicted based on what the artists may have experienced in altered states of consciousness. He looks at numerous pieces of ancient art as well as descriptions by alot of modern day shamans of their experiences in these realms, the various different methods used to attain this, his own visions under the influence of certain psychoactive plants, as well as the research done by Professor David Lewis-Williams. This takes up about ... Read More:

- Amazing....
in my view Hancocks best work to date.

The subject matter is "way out there".. and this book may just question everything you think about yourself, life and existance.

There are many "new age" books.. and many are tripe and should be thrown away. Its important not to throw the baby out with the bath water though, and I don't think you should tar all new age books with the same brush.

This one shouldn't be tarred at all.

If you can get a first edition then it has more chapters than the rewrite,.. in the first edition the first half of the book is very heavy going, like a scientific essay. This is why I believe it was adjusted in the later editions. The extra chapters are worth it though. (IMO).
