Fingerprints of the Gods: The Evidence of Earth's Lost Civilization is a 1995 pseudoarcheology[1][2] book by British writer Graham Hancock, which contends that an advanced civilization existed in prehistory, one which served as the common progenitor civilization to all subsequent known ancient historical ones. The author proposes that sometime around the end of the last ice age this civilization ended in cataclysm,[3] but passed on to its inheritors profound knowledge of such things as astronomy, architecture and mathematics.

The book was followed by Magicians of the Gods.[4]
