Richards discussed pre-ordering Graham Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods after previously reading Hancock's earlier work The Sign and the Seal, noting that these books sparked his early interest in alternative history. He detailed fascinating evidence presented in Hancock's books, such as the mysterious Knights Templar statues found in old Paris cathedrals that eventually led Hancock to investigate Ethiopia. Furthermore, Richards explored Hancock's theological speculations regarding the biblical account of Moses climbing Mount Sinai, breaking the Ten Commandments, and later exhibiting facial sores that Hancock controversially speculated might have been caused by radiation sickness.
