I believe it's, I always say footprints of the gods, but it's really fingerprints of the gods.
Episode: #2430 - Jay Anderson
Jay Anderson said he discovered Graham Hancock's work in the 1990s and loved the book, describing it as a major influence on his interest in ancient history.
Well, I was always into books about ancient history and whether it's, you know, like modernly, you know, commonly accepted narrative or Graham Hancock stuff. But I got into Graham Hancock stuff, I think in the 90s, Fingerprints of the Gods came out. Right. And I fucking loved it.
Episode: #2443 - Filippo Biondi
The book was mentioned as suggesting that the Khufu pyramid might be one of three subsidiary structures, challenging the view that the pyramids were solely tombs.
I sent this to Graham and his reaction was pretty interesting. What he said to me was that there's a strong suggestion that the Khufu pyramid might have been one of the three subsidiary structures alongside the Great Pyramid's eastern flank and that it looked like damaging evidence against the orthodox chronology of ancient Egypt.
It also challenged the consensus view that the Giza pyramids had been built as tombs and only as tombs.

And when he first wrote Fingerprints of the Gods, I think that came out in like 97 or 98 or something like that. I remember reading it.
