In 'Talisman: Sacred Cities, Secret Faith', Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock embark on an intellectual journey through history, unearthing the traces of a secret religion that has shaped the world. From Heliopolis to Luxor, passing through Alexandria, Toulouse, Florence, Rome, Paris, London, Washington D.C. and New York, the book explores the influence of ancient Egyptian and Gnostic ideologies in architecture and monuments. A plot full of romance, intrigue, heroism and faith, populated by astronomer priests of ancient Egypt, Christian Gnostics, hermetic sages, learned Jews, Occitan counts, Cathar 'perfecti', Templar knights, Renaissance magicians, Rosicrucian 'invisibles', Bavarian Illuminati and Freemasons.
Graham Bruce Hancock is a British author known for promoting pseudoscientific explanations of ancient civilisations and hypothetical lost lands. Hancock argues that an advanced society with spiritual technology thrived during the last Ice Age until comet impacts triggered the Younger Dryas about 12,900 years ago. He maintains that survivors of the disaster shared their knowledge with hunter-gatherer communities in regions such as ancient Egypt, Sumer, and Mesoamerica, sparking the earliest known civilisations.
