A show with a truly preposterous theory is one of the streaming giant’s biggest hits – and it seems to exist solely for conspiracy theorists. Why has this been allowed?
At the time of writing, Ancient Apocalypse has been comfortably sitting in Netflix’s Top 10 list for several days. This presents something of a mystery....
... if he’s right, and the history of humanity really is just the first five minutes of Prometheus, it would change everything we know about ourselves. But we certainly shouldn’t treat his hodgepodge of mysteries and coincidences as fact.
That’s the danger of a show like this. It whispers to the conspiracy theorist in all of us.

If you don’t accept Genesis as the word of God, fine, believe whatever you want. But that’s it. Dismiss God and get on with your argument.To hold that you understand rationality at the level of God and see illogic in scripture and use it to buttress a point is ridiculous .God at the point of Creation expected sin. Only the time in The Garden was without sin. At the time of Noah God “repented” of ever creating man. Not because they were sinners but because He apparently deemed them hopeless. (What with that power to see across time).Whatever He was seeing is so far outside our abilities as to be funny. God knew from the start that man would in the end fall to evil and require His intervention. As far as I can tell, in the end, the good guys don’t win. Evil is and was always in business.
While I'm surprised that archeological institutions refuse to admit that something is the reason for the existence of these artifacts we see around the globe. On the other hand it doesn't surprise me one bit that a journalist needs to blame this on those who believe in conspiracies, because they are not among the brightest beingings on this blue ball.
Very good point!!!
Yes, the illusion of knowledge. Like those who believe that aliens built the pyramids, or that Putin is winning the war, or that Atlantis was anything but Pluto’s plot device
I actually found the step pyramids and the marhaba even more awesome than the pyramids. Maybe it’s because there were less tourists
I’m assuming that ‘Pluto’ = ‘Plato’ here?
“It is perhaps because in folklore and mythology there is often a nugget of historical truth. Consider perhaps the most famous example of this is the story of Troy was thought by “experts” to be a myth. Until it was dug up.”
Excellent point. Troy is fairly recent history compared to the Deep time that is being presented in ancient apocalypse.
I think what I probably should have stated is to stick to the science first. The rest will follow.
Sixteen catastrophic extinction events if the 3rd Magnitude before present time. All geologically captured... to wax biblically “and the rocks cry out” is an incredibly astute and observable statement.
The parallels in Genesis even before the fall, are clearly evident.
Genesis 2 “and the world was void” The Hebrew translation it reads the world “became” void. Does that not explain a catastrophic event of the third magnitude? Of course it does.
Just as the word yom which is translated erroneously in Genesis as day, (as in a 24-hour day), is also translated in the Hebrew as “era” but you will never convince mainstream religionists that it was probably meant to be “era” and the error of the translators has resulted in the erroneous “established” time line on the subject.
Another call out in Genesis would be in on whatever day the grasses appeared, paleo-botanists have long established that “suddenly without warning” the the grasses appeared. An amazing correlation.
Not at all. There are a lot of megalithic structures that could not be built today, so how do you explain that?
Civilization was either more advanced than we give it credit for or aliens came and helped.
Which do you think is more likely?
The megalithic structures that we know of are quite late vis-a-vis the post-Younger Dryas event. The pyramid of Saqqara (for instance, being the oldest Egyptian pyramid) is @4500 years old, not 11,000+
Yet this has nothing to do with Graham Hancock’s premise.
Clovis was not 1st.
We watched the series. Very good. Hancock was banned from going to a site in Ohio because he doesn’t endorse the accepted chronology of the area. You’ll enjoy it.
If this is just a conspiracy theory, then why do so many ancient civilizations tell of a destructive flood in the distant past?

I heard Graham Hancock’s Amazon theories 4 years ago on Joe Rogan and Coast to Coast. He seems correct to me in his theories of world wide catastrophe 11,000 years ago.
I liked them better too, probably because of the age. The earlier the more interesting!
I would’ve loved to see them for real. Lucky you!
“…but you will never convince mainstream religionists.”””
It’s hard to believe that the Being that Created it all didn’t get the words down that He wanted. Though the arguments I’ve heard over translations spanning 5 millennia are head spinning.
You’ll know that I didn’t say anything about age of anything. I just said we can’t build it today which to the objective observer is true.
Thanks.
I did!
