Biography

In 1989, being 12 years old, he hosted the radio programme Radio Heraldo.[2] Six years later he founded the journal Año Cero.[3]

He is editor consultant of the monthly magazine Más Allá de la Ciencia (Beyond Science)[4] 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[quantify], Sierra has been working with people like Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval attempting to demonstrate the existence of a Golden Age of humanity.[5] His hypothesis holds that this Golden Age was extinguished about 10,500 years ago, and it was the origin of all the known civilisations.[6]

Career

In 1995 he published Roswell: Secreto de Estado, about the Roswell incident, where he analysed the case.[7]

He became the first Spaniard to be in the Top Ten of best sellers in United States.[8] His 2006 novel The Secret Supper was in the top ten of The New York Times Best Seller list and has been published in 42 countries.[9] The Lady in Blue was published in 2007.

On 20 December 2017 it was released the documentary fiction Otros mundos by #0, which is about the great mysteries in the world.[10] On 22 December 2019 it was released the second season.[11]
