Ancient World Leaders – Hannibal
Hannibal Barca was an extraordinary military leader and political reformer in the ancient world. His Carthaginian army’s march with elephants over the Alps to attack rival Rome in 218 BCE is one of the most daring exploits in world history. Hannibal sacrificed his life to leadership and war, and became such a force in the world’s imagination that centuries after his death, Roman mothers would scare their children by threatening, ‘Hannibal is at the gates’. His sacrifice of self to a larger cause is still an inspiration today, and his battle plans are studied by modern students of conflict and war. Read in “Hannibal” how his personal discipline and charisma remain models for world leadership.

Fingerprints of the Gods: The Evidence of Earth’s Lost Civilization
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fingerprints of the Gods: The Evidence of Earth’s Lost Civilization is a book first published in 1995 by Graham Hancock, in which he echoes 19th century writer Ignatius Donnelly, author of Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882), in contending that some previously enigmatic ancient but highly-advanced civilization had existed in prehistory, one which served as the common progenitor civilization to all subsequent known ancient historical ones. Supposedly, sometime around the end of the last Ice Age this civilization ended in cataclysm,[1] but passed on to its inheritors profound knowledge of such things as astronomy, architecture, and mathematics. Most of his claims are based on the idea that mainstream interpretations of archaeological evidence are flawed or incomplete. His work has been described by the scholarly community as pseudoscience and pseudoarchaeology.
