Advantages: Good source of info

Disadvantages: Some parts are a bit contrived

Graham Hancock in producing this book left himself open to a lot of criticism, which he duly got. He was also unfairly treated by the BBC's Horizon programme who debunked hie sources as unprofessional and then used the same sources to debunk him in turn!
Quest for the Lost Civilisation is however a good read. If you leave aside the very tenuous links to the Draco star constellation which Hancock very astutely attributes to his researcher Johm Grigsby, and thus absolves himself of responsibility, and the equally tenuous claims linking the chalk images in the south of England with the constellation of Taurus, then the book gives a lot of historically correct info and an insight into more than one Ancient culture. It also makes the individual ask many questions about how accurate modern interpretations of so-called myths really are, and are we doing the Ancients a dis-service when calling them "primitive".
