Product Description
What secrets lie beneath the deep blue sea? Underworld takes you on a remarkable journey to the bottom of the ocean in a thrilling hunt for ancient ruins that have never been found—until now.
In this explosive new work of archaeological detection, bestselling author and renowned explorer Graham Hancock embarks on a captivating underwater voyage to find the ruins of a mythical lost civilization hidden for thousands of years beneath the world’s oceans. Guided by cutting-edge science, innovative computer-mapping techniques, and the latest archaeological scholarship, Hancock examines the mystery at the end of the last Ice Age and delivers astonishing revelations that challenge our long-held views about the existence of a sunken universe built on the ocean floor.
Filled with exhilarating accounts of his own participation in dives off the coast of Japan, as well as in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Arabian Sea, we watch as Hancock discovers underwater ruins exactly where the ancient myths say they should be—submerged kingdoms that archaeologists never thought existed. You will be captivated by Underworld, a provocative book that is both a compelling piece of hard evidence for a fascinating forgotten episode in human history and a completely new explanation for the origins of civilization as we know it.

 Another amazing book from Graham Hancock
Graham Hanock continues to blow my mind with his brilliant deductions, make you open up for possibilites outside the box. I had first heard about the mindblowing underwater monuments off the Japanese coast. I couldn't put the book down and three of my other family members were pulled into the earthshattering theories that truly make you rethink what exactly occurred in our very ancient past. I couldn't put it down and grew nearly intoxicated on all of the amazing possibilites those monument signfies. I recommen it you can keep an open mind this book will impress and inspire thought for you as wall

 Backs up his alternative history with lots of facts and photos
The photos of underwater dives are what originally interested me in buying the book. Hancock's thorough method of gathering facts to support his version of history are what made me a believer. He inspired me to use my skills in satellite imagery analysis to search for proof from above that civilization is much older than is commonly thought. My search resulted in a book Noah's Ark, Discovering the Science of Man's Oldest Mystery that offers amazing proof that both supports and expands Graham's book.

Long but very important book
I believe this is a far more important book than most people realize. While the author suffers from a lack of editing and brevity, he more than makes up for it in his subject selection and hands-on detective work. I read the entire book and it was a detailed, highly convincing argument that mankind has done a really slipshod job of investigating our history in terms of looking at the oceans of the world.
I thought the photographs in the book were fantastic and my only complaint is that there weren't more of them! Especially interesting were the underwater photos of Yonaguni which I find almost impossible to believe could be natural phenomena. I wish Mr. Hancock had also put together a DVD release of this material as I think that the actual pictures tell a story that the written word itself can hardly match. The author does actually mention the difficulty of underwater photography in the various locations he travels and this is part of the importance of the book; that is, that we need advances in our ability to image places we are investigating in order to tell the story to the public and thereby capture both imagination and funding in order to continue exploring the hidden history of mankind.
Those who gave this book bad reviews are ignoring the fact that, to my knowledge, modern history has absolutely no explanation at all for formations like Yonaguni, if it is indeed man-made. The author's book is, as far as I can tell, one of the only attempts to provide any kind of real explanation for this. Yonaguni is an anomaly whose only other explanation (that it is a natural formation) is almost impossible to believe.
With some additional editing, etc., in a second edition, this book could easily rate five stars. And the subject matter is important enough that it needs to.

Underworld ( davoice13 )
As Far as I know no one else has informed us about all of these underwater places where people, at one time, lived. As always Handcock makes you think.

 Drivel ( willyvan )
These books are nonsense. Any books whose titles include any of the words 'mysterious', 'secrets', 'Templar', 'alien', 'code', 'supernatural', 'mythic', 'cosmic', are just giving away the fact that they are unscientific rubbish. They are based on wishes and dreams, but we should all know that children wish, adults decide.
