Amazon.com Review
Mars holds a special fascination for us, because it is the most Earth-like planet we've yet encountered. As we continue to explore the red planet, geological evidence mounts that long ago water flowed freely across its surface, begging the question: If there was water, was there life? Graham Hancock thinks so. In fact, Hancock, a former journalist and the author of several books, including Fingerprints of the Gods, believes that certain formations on the Martian surface are the remnants of an ancient civilization--one strikingly similar to ancient Egypt--that was destroyed by a cataclysmic deep impact. Further, Hancock claims that NASA's reluctance to give credence to "The Face," "The Pyramids," and other things people see in images of the Martian surface is evidence that the U.S. space agency is motivated by cold war paranoia and mistrust. Hancock seems to be more fair-minded than many NASA critics, stating that, "what we see is a mindset, here, not a conspiracy." And indeed, one is hard-pressed to imagine why NASA isn't agreeing wholeheartedly with Hancock, since his ultimate point is that we should be paying more attention to our planetary neighbors and the skies above, lest we suffer the same fate as the Martians. Hancock raises many intriguing questions in this synthesis of unorthodox Mars theory, but those looking for applications of Ockham's razor had best search elsewhere--Hancock's theories require a leap of faith as surely as NASA's do. --Therese Littleton
Review
"Hancock revels in presenting his readers with a vast wealth of information. He builds his case fact by fact,
find by find, until one is overwhelmed by the evidence that draws to an inevitable conclusion."
--Journal Star
From the Inside Flap
In The Mars Mystery, investigative archaeologist Graham Hancock treats our growing knowledge of Martian topography as a Rosetta Stone we can use to decode mysteries as old as the human imagination. He examines the current landscape of Mars and discovers evidence that the planet was once home to a lush environment of dense atmo-sphere and flowing rivers, lakes, and oceans. He asks questions, based on growing evidence, that cannot be dismissed: Has Mars ever sustained higher forms of life? How might the secret history of Mars be intertwined with Earth's own past and future?
In his most riveting and revealing book yet, Hancock points to the intriguing possibility that ancient Martian civilization is communicating with us through the remarkable structures it left behind. Megaliths found on the parched shores of Cydonia, a former Martian ocean, mirror the geometrical conventions of the pyramids at Egypt's Giza necropolis. Especially startling is a Sphinx-like structure depicting a face with distinguishable diadem, teeth, mouth, and Egyptian-style headdress. Might there be a connection between the structures of Egypt and those of Mars?
Yet, as intriguing as scientists all over the world find the Cydonian discovery, NASA continues to balk at taking a more detailed look at the site and has veiled previous photographs and studies
in a web of equivocation. In The Mars Mystery, Hancock makes a strong case that NASA is motivated by a lingering Cold War mentality and a fear that evidence of alien life will have destabilizing political, economic, and social consequences. In exploring the traces left by the Martian civilization and the cosmic cataclysm that may have ended it, The Mars Mystery is both an illumination of our ancient past and a warning which we still have time to heed about our ultimate fate.

Still relevant; Always informative and thought provoking!
By gnosisguy
In his well researched and carefully cited way, the always erudite and controversial, Hancock delivers a compelling thesis about the "known" (yet untimed) ancient cataclysmic event which changed the face of Mars and effectually "Killed" an otherwise living planet; as well as a possible connection with our planet Earth? He shows that it is highly likely and reasonable to conclude, that whatever happened to Mars, may have had an 'impact' on our fair world, due to the nature of the event and the close proximity of both planets (when compared to a cosmic or galactic scale of distances).
Having previously read "Fingerprints of the Gods" some years ago (admittedly one of his best efforts to date, as well as a high benchmark); I was a little surprised that I had not gotten around to reading "The Mars Mystery". Though this book is no "Fingerprints"; it is worthy of a careful reading especially if you are amenable to Hancock's line of thinking. It did help that I was familiar with the work of those cited, such as R.C. Hoagland's tome; "The Monuments of Mars" and his lesser known; "Dark Mission - The Secret History of NASA". Yes it helps to have those as a background or backdrop, however it is not absolutely necessary, because Hancock fills in the gaps and makes sure you see exactly how he has connected the dots and has come to his conclusions (along with the consensus and collaboration of several contributing co-writers).
One notable point was the time he devoted to help 'flesh-out' for the readers understanding - of what [we think] we know about comets and asteroids, particularly concerning the often subtle differences between them. Unless the reader is an astronomer or astrophysicist, this is a worthwhile tutorial of large hurtling space-borne objects in general. And although this was published in 1998, it still carries as much relevance today, as it did at the end of the 20th century - now seemingly so long ago. Is there speculation, conjecture and some incredible posits? Of course and then some! But isn't that why we like to read the works of author/researchers such as this in the first place?
I'm still trying to figure out how the Aztec's knew to name Mars, "Xipe Xolotl", the twin brother of their high god Quetzalcoatl; the name meaning in effect, "the Flayed Red God of the East." All ancient civilizations acknowledged Mars as the Red planet, but how could the Aztec's have known that Mars literally had half of its surface "peeled-off like an orange...", technically a "flayed planet"? Or how about the interesting Arabic meaning of the place name 'Cairo' as "Mars"! What a strange and enigmatic coincidence; that is unless one understands the "Why" of a connection such as that. Not mentioned in this book, but there exists renderings of 17th-18th century maps of Egypt, where Cairo is depicted as "Old Babylon" (from the Akkadian,"Babili" which translates to "Gateway of the Gods"). Make of that what you wish, my point is that the rabbit hole is very deep when it comes to this region.
Due to the nature of the message that Hancock wishes to convey, and acknowledging that we are some 17 years further in time than first published, I would say this book might be even more timely now than it was then? Because of a recent movie ("The Martian") and due to media-hype in concert with NASA, Mars has been put back on the radar of the masses for perhaps another nanosecond or two. Given that one of the greatest mysteries or discoveries ever made by humankind might be waiting on the surface of Mars; staring at us in the form a giant enigmatic face surrounded by a huge network of mathematically impossible "arcologies", whose ultimate message could be a warning to others, but especially us, of what happens when a planet has a 'bad day'. Now some forty plus years after our numerous Moon missions, isn't it well past time to go to Mars and put "boots on the ground" to see close up what's what? Graham Hancock thought so way back in 1998, many others are now apparently catching up to him.

Mind blowing!
By russell buecher
A sobering introduction to the ancient threat this planet faces. This book like all books by Graham Hancock induces a paradigm shift of awareness that leaves you absorbed by its subject matter long after you put the book down and hungry for more insight and information

Interesting
By M. Stone
Another excellent work by the author. Mr Hancock is an excellent and interesting writer. He writes in great depth so you can understand the who, what , when, where, how and why of his research and opinions. This book is typical to his writing in that regard. If you are knowledgeable on what he has written the books may cover a lot of ground you have trod in previous times. If you however are a novice in his field of research, you will be amazed at the amount of information he conveys. It is definitely another pass around book!
