Ancient Apocalypses and Lost Civilizations: "America Before" by Graham Hancock - Book Review

This video is a review of the book "America Before" by Graham Hancock.
"The Instant New York Times Bestseller!
Was an advanced civilization lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age? Graham Hancock, the internationally bestselling author, has made it his life's work to find out--and in America Before, he draws on the latest archaeological and DNA evidence to bring his quest to a stunning conclusion.
We’ve been taught that North and South America were empty of humans until around 13,000 years ago - amongst the last great landmasses on earth to have been settled by our ancestors. But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-established picture and we know now that the Americas were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago - many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere.
Hancock's research takes us on a series of journeys and encounters with the scientists responsible for the recent extraordinary breakthroughs. In the process, from the Mississippi Valley to the Amazon rainforest, he reveals that ancient "New World" cultures share a legacy of advanced scientific knowledge and sophisticated spiritual beliefs with supposedly unconnected "Old World" cultures. Have archaeologists focused for too long only on the "Old World" in their search for the origins of civilization while failing to consider the revolutionary possibility that those origins might in fact be found in the "New World"?
America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization is the culmination of everything that millions of readers have loved in Hancock's body of work over the past decades, namely a mind-dilating exploration of the mysteries of the past, amazing archaeological discoveries and profound implications for how we lead our lives today."

"Nuance and scientific detail." Spoilers: there isn't any.

[@justinbirkholz7814]

Sounds like you haven't read his books. His reporting on the YDIH research alone is extensive and detailed.

I love how Graham keeps challenging the status quo in the archaeological community, and they try to dismiss his theories as pseudoscience... Yes, perhaps his theories are speculative, but they are no more speculative than the current standard theories that are widely accepted. We should build models and modify them based on the data available to us, not reject data because they don't fit into the models we've already constructed. I've read several of Graham Hancock's books and enjoyed them greatly, and even though I don't always agree with all of his conclusions, he is a brilliant mind that doesn't hesitate to shatter paradigms and to pursue truth. Thank you for this excellent review of his work! ❤

[@justinbirkholz7814]

I totally agree. He's done a lot of real deep investigating. Traveling to sites, speaking directly with archeologists and other scientists. Most people can't or won't do that. And he is definitely brilliant. He's older now but he's still very sharp in interviews and podcasts. He's a good writer and speaker too. I'm really glad he got enough bad press that I heard about him lol. Thanks for watching!

Next episode on nazi psyop operations

[@fasteddyuk]

They are far more speculative than "standard theories" that have a thing called evidence.

Psyop book lecture 😂

[@justinbirkholz7814]

I did have family in military intelligence. Maybe I learned from the best? 🤷 Thanks for watching!

[@ThomasTheattackengine]

@@justinbirkholz7814 good to note, let's say we'll see how you do 👌🧐. But next episode on the weird psyop movements and the plot holes of the religious wanting to take back the library back under them
