Graham Hancock is behind this and has built a huge base of fans and customers through the years. I am not surprised at this success of Ancient Apocalypse.
There are a number of things covered which are intriguing. LIDAR grid detection in the Amazon, the soil composition of the amazon, the monoliths that were buried in and the organic matter around those monoliths that was radio carbon dated and found to be 14k years old.
It’s plausible. Except to closed minds stuck in science of guesstimates over that last 400 years. Best guestimates granted, but the sciences have matured.
What I fail to grasp is the attempted pairing of fantasical folklorist tales, and allegorical ancient texts. Stick to the science. The folklore is mere filigree at this juncture.
That said, the “alternate conclusions” of extraterrestrial intervention for the “unexplainable” is falling away (finally) as the abilities of emerging detection and forensics continue to advance.
Nothing less, nothing more. Forensic archeology might become similarly robust technologically as witnessed with the work in genetics and DNA, or cosmology.
