“Where does it end? Believing that a man can turn into a woman by an act of will?”
Anyone that has read Hancock knows that he does not believe aliens were involved in building Earth’s impossibly complex ancient structures - and he cites the Giza pyramid as only one example. The blocks at Balbek and the complex at Golbeki Tepi are, to him, far more interesting
Will, makeup, and a dress. That’s all a woman is, right? Just the most superficial appearances of one.
Trans- doesn’t require any change of appearance, even superficially. Just a statement.
You are exactly right and he is also questioning the accuracy of carbon dating with is alone enough to explode the heads of the atheists.
I heard that Graham Hancock originally set out to prove something more like “aliens visited”, but as he investigated more and more began to prove to himself the biblical story in the book of Genesis might be real after all.
Which of Hancock’s books have you read?
There are all kinds. Tolerance, man.
I used to have, decades ago, a co-worker who was convinced he didnt owe income tax because it was illegitimate (also medicare and SSS), and always had a beef with our employer because he wanted to stop them from withholding. He wasnt otherwise stupid, but he had a bee in the bonnet.
What is the Prometheus reference all about? Poor writing to assume someone has seen something else.
Also it is a scientifically accepted fact that the end of the ice age sea levels rose over 400 feat flooding millions of acres of prime coastal lands drowning whatever civilizations were there.
Nah... IMHO it shows he has more interest in sucking Democrats a$$ than he does the topic. It’s a common ploy...
The writer is an “expert” in things like… movies, music, tv. He clearly knows nothing about the enterprise of science. I don’t know anything about this fellow Hancock, but I do know something about how science progresses, It does not progress by trusting the experts and the “buttoned up” establishment.
One episode of this series focuses on the scablands of eastern Washington. It took many years for people much like Hancock to convince the uniformitarian “experts” that the scablands were shaped by at least one and probably several mega floods. The advocates had to fight tooth and nail against the kind of establishment this idiot media child would trust implicitly. By now they have essentially won the argument, and it is down to details like how many, and where did all the water come from, Montana or Canada or both.
I suspect the “experts” do not want to admit they were just prejudiced against discrepant ideas. They don’t know what Gobeckli Tepe is about either, or the Serpent mound in Ohio, but they have lots of highfalutin opinions, and don’t want to even hear new points of view.
In any case, it is an entraining series, and there is no harm in it. I think Stuart Heritage is the typical Guardian reporter, spewing his own conspiracy theories.
Yes, the Younger Dryas, when the Ice Age came back for a thousand years. Its way more recent, and came on faster, than we like to think.
Its pretty hard to prove a pre-existing advanced civilization though, as civilized remnants from even @10-11,000 years ago, well into the Holocene, are very thin on the ground (Gobekli Tepe is the most significant one). There are no known megastructures from even then.
It’s a hypothesis, by a non-scientist, that fits some of the facts.
Some parts of the hypothesis appears to be likely, there was a environmental event 10800 BC. The tine known as the Younger Dryas. Probably caused by multiple impacts. In the last 10 years there has been evidence of civilizations older than 10000 years.
The ‘oral traditions’ of multiple cultures tell a tale of environmental disaster, likely meteor impacts and people with wisdom restarting civilizations.
I found the history intriguing in the show, as well as the archeological evidence. Not sure about the hypothesis.
“Believing that ultra-intelligent creatures helped to build the pyramids is one thing, but where does it end? Believing that election fraud is real?”
An interesting statement given that election fraud is a proven fact. It may or may not have been responsible for Trumps loss, but that’s a different discussion. Election fraud exists.
The earlier catastrophe that brought about the megafauna extinctions around 12K years ago involved the final capture of the southern part of our system by our present sun.The southern part of the system prior to that amounted mainly to Saturn, Neptune, Mars, and Earth, that is, the four bodies with the roughly 26-degree axis tilts.
Claiming that the flood amounted to God punishing the world for sin amounts to accusing God of stupidity. IOW, it amouints to claiming that God wiped the whole system over sin, only to have sin back in business forty years later as if nothing had happened.
Guilt-tripping people over sin was the basic business model of the Levites.
…J. Harlen Bretz's theory is that Washington State's “Channeled Scablands” were formed by repeated cataclysmic floods over only about 2,000 years, rather than through the millions of years of erosion that had been previously assumed.The lake was the result of an ice dam on the Clark Fork caused by the southern encroachment of a finger of the Cordilleran ice sheet into the Idaho Panhandle (at the present day location of Clark Fork, Idaho, at the east end of Lake Pend Oreille). The height of the ice dam typically approached 2,000 ft., flooding the valleys of western Montana approximately 200 miles eastward. It was the largest ice-dammed lake known to have occurred.

Excellent comment, well done!
The show is interesting, if you allow yourself to ignore the editorial comments.
It’s amusing that articles rail about the show without suggesting where they are wrong. The facts are facts. The conclusions are the variables. That’s true with any science.
I always found creation stories interesting. Stories about “the flood” and the aftermath are strangely consistent.
Hancock is not suggesting ancient aliens or supernatural beings. He isn’t suggesting we have to “act now” to avoid impending disaster. He is looking at puzzle pieces and asking questions.
It would have been better to hear some feedback from the establishment, but that never happens. It would have been better to not make the traditional archeologists sound like COVID docs; the whole “hate science” theme was a little much. But, the show was fun and asks some interesting questions.
