I've been reading "Fingerprints of the Gods" and with a lot of the new findings in Central and South America as well as that recent article of the Archeologist theorizing that the Pyramids of Giza were power sources for an older civilization found by the Egyptians and used as tombs for their pharoahs. Is the view that human civilization stretches much farther back and his idea of a very great early civilization(s) becoming more commonly accepted? If so, what other new developments have come to light since the early 90s when the book came out.
Could it possibly be that one of the other homo contemporaries (probably not those Javanese little humans all those people stories describe them as being dumb as shit) be this early culture he described going about the world bringing civilization to the various peoples we think of as our earliest societies?
The historical community does not accept Hancock's thesis. Hancock's narrative is riddled with confirmation bias and coincidental evidence. Moreover, the writing is a little woody. But it's an entertaining read for those who realize it functions like any other fictional narrative.
A request for some elaboration to the OP, though - can you substantiate your description of the Javanese as "little humans"? I'm not familiar with the ethnicity itself distinguished with a trope (either now or in antiquity - and as well only given my "light" reading that simply skims post-colonial Indonesia) on grounds of their height.
