What the article fails to note is that Graham Hancock is a huckster who basically just repackaged theories from other occultists, like Edgar Cayce and the Freemasons and sold it as his own creation.
All that stuff about a lost civilization, destroyed in a cataclysm, who imparted knowledge to more primitive humans, the tablets hidden beneath the Sphinx, and even the date he proposes for the cataclysm, came from other people, they are not his ideas even.
Hancock never claimed it was his ideas? I am not defending Hancock but I don’t think Hancock ever claimed these were his ideas - he put them together as a journalist would.
as Rudyard Kipling wrote:
The secret hid
Under Cheops pyramid
Is that the contractor did
Cheops out of several millions.
Good post.
