漢卡克：澎湖 虎井沉城可能是人類遺址
「上帝的指紋」一書作者實地探勘，昨天指出極可能是逾萬年人類「失落的文明」，表示證據應由考古學家調查
記者李名揚／台北報導
暢銷書「上帝的指紋」、「天之鏡」作者葛瑞姆漢卡克（Graham Hancock）日前在澎湖實地潛水探勘疑似虎井沈城遺址後，昨天公開表示，根據許多證據顯示，虎井沈城確實極有可能是超過一萬年前「失落的文明」時期人類所建造。
漢卡克過去四年來陸續在地中海、印度、日本地區近海岸海域探索海底遺址，上周來到台灣澎湖探勘，他在澎湖八景之一的虎井沈城潛水到廿公尺深，實際探勘長數十公尺的沈城城牆，昨天在台灣飛碟學研究會為他舉行的歡迎會中發表本次探勘心得。
漢卡克指出，虎井沈城城牆方位正好是東西走向和南北走向，「自然對東西、南北走向沒有興趣，但人類有」，另外搭建城牆的一塊塊大石頭，表面都很平滑，而且接縫處平整的程度「可以將刀子插入」，他認為這一定是人造工事，絕非自然力量所能形成。
但是地質學家對此看法較為保留，台大地質系副教授宋聖榮表示，不排除虎井沈城是人造的可能性，但還需進一步調查。他說，玄武岩有可能看起來是一塊一塊的，但若堆成沈城城牆的每塊岩石大小一致、角度垂直、石頭縫隙間又有填充物（例如磚牆中的水泥），就很可能是人造的。
宋聖榮也說，自然的岩石若形如城牆，應該是全部連續的，而人造的話會有中斷處；另外若城牆很直，長度又很長，人造的可能性也會提高。他指出，兩萬年前海平面比現在低一百五十公尺，台灣和中國大陸是連在一起的，從台南菜寮曾經發現犀牛、大象等大陸生物就可證明，他不排除那時真有古文明建在台灣海峽中間的可能性。
漢卡克提出的另一項根據是「神話、傳統、傳說」，他說，在冰河時期結束、也就是從一萬七千年前到七千年前這段時間，因冰河融化，地球海平面共上升一百廿公尺，在全世界都有人類因犯錯而遭上天以洪水懲罰的傳說，唯一的可能就是冰河融化並非造成海平面緩慢持續上升，而是幾次突然爆發的大洪水。
漢卡克相信，在六千年前開始的人類文明之前的「失落的文明」確實存在，很多這個時代的人類居住在海邊，當大洪水爆發時就被淹沒，因此在近海岸的海底應可發現很多有趣的事，而事實上在全世界的不同地方，都已經發現許多類似海底城市的遺跡，他認為虎井只是全球海底遺跡中的一處。
至於確實證據，漢卡克說，那應該是專業考古學家該去調查的事，過去許多考古學家因為不相信古文明存在，而對海底探索沒有興趣，但他以後可以告訴這些人，證據就在海底；漢卡克特別強調，他相信這些是人類歷史上被遺忘的文明，但並沒有說是外星人文明。
