Graham Hancock has an interesting theory of a worldwide civilization that was wiped out (along with the mastodon) by a comet hitting the north american icecap during the younger dryas period around 11000 years ago.

Why does this read like Chrono Trigger fanfiction? That is almost literally the entire Zeal subplot from that game, except the meteor wiped out the dinosaurs, and the Queen of Zeal destroyed her empire 12,000 years ago through greed and stupidity DUE to the meteor.

I am in awe at the incredible string of bullshit alternative history books this guy has produced. Just look at it: http://www.amazon.com/Graham-Hancock/e/B004561L0S/ref=dp_byl...

They seem to be quite well written, too!
