Author and explorer Graham Hancock has tirelessly explored ancient culture, and has learned that ancient cultures made some important discoveries that even our modern science does not know about yet. This week on Dreamland, he talks about the meanings of ancient art in prehistoric caves. One of the world’s oldest buildings, filled with art, has just been discovered.

Archeologists have discovered that an ancient, untouched Syrian tomb that was discovered six years ago, filled with human and animal remains, gold and silver treasures and unbroken artifacts dating back to the third millennium BC, is one of eight that are located near each other.

This week on Dreamland, we interview author and adventurer Graham Hancock, whose new book Supernatural takes us back to the wisdom of the prehistoric world. A recent fossil find reminds us of how mysterious that world still is.

Scientists in Ethiopia have discovered the fossilized remains of a child who lived 3.3 million years ago who they have named “Selam,” which means “peace” in the local language. Selam and another fossil found in the same area called “Lucy,” who may be her mother, could be the “missing links” between chimpanzees and humans.

Selam had a lower body that was human-like and she walked upright on two legs, but her upper body was closer to that of a chimpanzee, with long arms that allowed her to swing from trees like a chimp.

The author and explorer Graham Hancock was one of the first people to understand what “precession,” the way the earth “wobbles” on its axis as it orbits the sun, meant to the ancients. He wrote about this in his famous book Fingerprints of the Gods. Now researchers have learned from fossil records that this earth wobble had a lot to do with extinction?just as the ancient Egyptian culture predicted.

Fossil records show that the mysterious periodic extinctions that have occurred throughout history may be due in part to wobbles in the earth’s orbit, because they cause climate change.

We recently reported on how global warming will affect our future. Scientists agree that one thing that will definitely happen is that melting ice will cause sea levels to rise, threatening coastal cities. Hurricanes, caused by warmer ocean temperatures, are also a threat. New computer modeling indicates that New York City could be hit by a hurricane that turns into a tsunami (a giant wave).
