I love the idea of a pre-Younger Dryas human civilization with different technology to our own, but Graham Hancock srill feels scammy.
Graham Hancock? Ounze Legussy.

As he should because he gives bad science arguments and outdated theories that, usually, are racist and require you to ignore facts

yeah its a cool idea that would explain a few things.
maybe someday we’ll find some evidence for it, but it’s quite unlikely

I will always remember Joe Rogan rangling this guy out of an ancient psychic powers tangent and back to like, lidar in south america. He’s a looney one

the guy’s a scam artist. watch his debate with Professor Dave on YouTube.

I thought his netflix series was interesting. He obviously isn’t the guy with all the answers, but he does ask questions most archeologists won’t, which I appreciate. I do believe that there is a lot of unrecorded history that we may be overlooking.

I would encourage you to look at why his arguments are considered ill-formed compared to conventional wisdom. If you want something funny to watch, Miniminuteman (who is an archeaologist) has a series reviewing Ancient apocalypse, for example, and I’m sure Professor Dave Explains has his own.

My six year old asks questions that most adults won’t. For the same reason.

He says he asks questions most archaeologists won’t, there is a difference. Graham Hancock has no problem lying, or omitting information to sell his books and TV shows. And who’s gonna stop him? It’s not actually illegal to lie about the past, just incredibly scummy.

interesting for sure. but with zero actual evidence for any of his claims
