Prehistoric rock art, cave paintings and petroglyphs from all parts of the world show extraordinary similarities and even identical figures -- yet these ancient cultures were often separated by thousands of years of time and thousands of miles of geographical distance and were not in contact with one another. In this clip from a visit to rock art sites in Utah's canyon country, arranged as part of the October 2010 Reality Sandwich retreat at the Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch, Graham Hancock argues that shamanic altered states of consciousness, often brought on by the use of entheogenic plants, are the most likely answer to the mystery. For a more detailed explanation see Graham's last non-fiction book Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind. His first novel Entangled also delves into this mystery.

I like GH alot, he's a terrific guy. He says that YouTube disabled this video because a "certain" person didn't like it after watching it. I don't know who it was, but WOW! Isn't that bizarre?

@Fesheca This video was disabled by YouTube as one amongst the thousands of viewers who have already watched it didn't like the content and flagged it as "Inappropriate" which resulted in this surprising and unexpected violation of our freedom of speech. The YouTube team have now reviewed the video, resolved that it does not after all violate their Community Guidelines and reinstated it leaving our account in good standing.

It would be a real trip to hang with Graham and Joe Rogan and just trip balls.

They're so stuck on what they know that they don't have an open mind and keep bringing up calendars. They're obviously not calendars and im glad Graham Hancock didn't let them change his thoughts

@GrahamHancockDotCom Then for once (I hope not-should be the standard) common sense prevailed. Excellent. At least for today the world makes some sense.

I've seen these similar in the American Southwest with a Native American guide. One gets the sense of so much connection over vast epochs of time. Graham is essentially correct in his impressions and assessments. Like his Ayahuasca experiences in the Amazon, my Peyote experiences in New Mexico have given me a beautiful perspective not only of our past but of our present and future as well. Cheers

"Go to the Amazon ,drink ayahuasca 10 times ! And we see if you are the same person..."

I'm curious as to why Graham mentioned that the creators of these images may have been influenced by ritual ethnogenic plant use, specifically datura. Although mentioned in the (fictional) Castenada books, datura use is likely to cause outright delirium rather than an insightful mental state, and the active ingredient, scopalamine, can toxic and even deadly if the dose is not carefully managed..Hallucinogenic cacti and fungi were likely available to these people- why datura, Graham?
