Biography
Biography
In 1989, being 18 years old, he hosted the radio programme Radio Heraldo. Six years later he founded the journal Año Cero. He is editor consultant of the monthly magazine Más Allá de la Ciencia (Beyond Science) distributed in Spain and Latin America and he participates in several radio and television programs. During the last years, he has concentrated on writing about purported ancient mysteries. For years, Sierra has been working with people like Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval attempting to demonstrate the existence of a Golden Age of humanity. His hypothesis holds that this Golden Age was extinguished about 10,500 years ago, and it was the origin of all the known civilisations.
