[@OneBadRudeBoy]

​@@nathanmitchell7961I don't think he's a fraud. The point is we don't know a lot about the past and what we know in many aspects raises questions. 50 years ago we knew a lot less and had a different view of humans of the past. So in my oppinion it only makes sense that in 20-30 years our view might be completely different. Why not keep an open mind then? There is way more that we don't know than what we do know.

I don't understand why Graham Hancock is constantly attacked. Everything he says seems reasonable/logical. He always seems very objective and points out the counter arguments, and why he thinks they are wrong etc. From what I've seen, he's asking perfectly valid questions when he sees holes in the historical records.

Same... years ago I thought that maybe the critics may have a point on some things, but over a decade later it seems time is on Graham's side. I think this is will be dominant view of the human story for a while to come

[@lukeforks9134]

Because he upset's the investors - for example: stomach ulcers were proved to be caused by bacteria and could be cured with a few pills. The discover was absolutely crushed because he threatened the 'surgical removal of part of people's stomachs' industry - a huge earner for investors. Over ten years later, ten years! of unnecessary partial stomach removal surgeries, was the cure accepted - ten fg years - think about that for a while, and look closely at the world around you.

I always find graham educational and entertaining. All the information he presents is correct, I just disagree with his conclusions. I don’t think it’s a lost civilization, I think it’s a lost religion. I think the earth was cold, dark and food was scarce during the ice age. Humans survived by living in underground tunnels and caves etc. Then the ice age ended, the sun came back and provided food, warmth and light to the world. The ancients worshipped the sun in the hope that it would stay and that the earth would not return to the time of the ice age that their ancestors knew. They built temples and paid homage to the sun “god”. I think this ancient religion is coded in modern religions today.

[@zeljkomikulicic4378]

I try to imagine holding a civilization together in those times. It appears an idea was shared across the planet by something or we are looking at a busy work phenomenon so leaders could keep their heads..

[@bobalmond8257]

It is worth remembering that there have been 4 ice ages in the last 400,000 years. Did we have civilization rise up only to be decimated more than once during that time. Could those have reached at least the level of Bronze Age civilization only to be smashed back into the Stone Age? Remember there was the Bronze Age collapse that saw the disintegration of a large multi nation trade system and caused several of the then top nations fall into illiterate tribes skulking around the ruins of their once great cities. That didn’t have as long a disruption as a full glacial cycle. What would a few millennia of frozen wastes have destroyed?

I don't have any problem with Hancock and his theories and hypotheses. What I have a problem is when he says the word "evidence". He uses it liberally and in the context of his sentences it gives the impression that there actually is evidence when there is actually none. Yes, there are observations of facts in the geological and archaeological record, but "evidence" conveys that these facts support a particular theory. They do not, and as pointed out Hancock often, I would even say usually, ignores countervailing facts. He's a journalist, not a scientist, and that shines through all of his writing as he weaves fanciful theories about lost civilizations etc. I would not even call him a "popular science writer", like Neil deGrasse Tyson, who educates people about the best available current science on the universe. Hancock is essentially a fabulist, taking disparate facts and observations and weaves them together into a fiction. Again, I'm all for hypotheses, but if you can't ground them in an array of supporting facts, move on, or at the very least stop writing books about it. As for the scientific community attacking him, they *should* attack him and debunk him. It's not "canceling". It's calling out a charlatan who is polluting their field of science and misleading the public. He should not be bitter because he has no one but himself to blame and is making a handsome living off his misinformation.

[@PandaPanda-ud4ne]

All true, but nothing points to Hancock´s theory being true.

[@aquarionh2o132]

@@PandaPanda-ud4ne I beg to differ. Who then built the megalithic structures? Answer: A forgotten society. A book was written in 1919 by a female elder of a western First Nations tribe that speaks about when they arrived in North America and found “white men” living here that helped them, and those white men had stories of when they arrived in North America finding red haired giants here. How many cycles of civilization of have come and gone without trace? The oldest “mainstream” archeologically dated man-made structure now excess 700,000 years old. There is a great deal to what Hancock says, people simply need to put the pieces together.

[@PandaPanda-ud4ne]

@@aquarionh2o132 No. This is just wishful thinking. I want to be rich tomorrow. There is a possibility that i could get rich tomorrow. But that does not transfer into i will be rich tomorrow. Do you understand? What about the megalithic structures...cultures build things that were big. On every continent, pretty much, with some exceptions, maybe. Who built them? Cultures that were not that different from eath other, from their neighbors. I do not see any great difference.

[@aquarionh2o132]

@@PandaPanda-ud4ne The stones used to build many of the structures we, with all our technology, can not move or even lift in some cases. True history is not what has been written - that’s largely just political science written by those that have paid for it to be written. True history is what factually was, and much of that has been twisted, hidden, or forgotten. Even current events have a false narrative around them which will be written into history unless people keep the truth alive…and none of this has anything g to do with wishful thinking.

Show me 100% rock solid evidence of primordial single celled amoeba. There is none, there is only a large bank of knowledge built up around the faith of something with those properties existing before. This theory is similar to that one, this is of a time so removed that looking for evidence in the form of writings and lost artifacts isn’t really in the realm of possibility. Looking at every single connection between the cradles of civilization then proposing a connection isn’t easy to dismiss.

[@NickB1121]

Just an FYI, its a common tactic that once you've been embarrassed publicly, as Graham was by Dibble, its a deceitful tactic to "vanish for a time," then go on a rehabilitation tour, which Graham is currently doing. Graham must have a LOT of money riding on the new season of his Netflix show. And I suspect Graham and Joe colluded to "over analyze" any misstatements Dibble made during the debate. Fact is, sure Dibble made a few misstatements (which he addressed over a month ago), but they did not take away from the fact that there's no evidence of a lost civilization. Graham even goes as far as to say carbon dating is not accurate. For some reason, Rogan and others are allowing Graham to continue his grift of making money on the backs of wasting everyone else's time with theories he knows are likely not true. There's a theory that the Titanic did not sink, but her sister ship, the Olympic. Yet they located the ID numbers on the propellers. Yet that doesnt stop the grifters from grifting and making money off of the gullible. Sad time.

[@jvaish]

You start off with a subjective statement, implying it was factual. Then you proceed to make an analogy that has no bearing on archaeology. Every time people like you post, it comes across as religious fervor. You people never make specific statements about an issue but make sweeping generalizations and throw out ad hominems. Archaeology is a discipline tainted by cognitive bias. It's a bunch of children trying to explain a far more complex world than they will ever know. But, hey, you get to sound pretentious and pompous on the internet. What a great life you have.

[@iGame3D]

It seems to me that you could put all the understood information about the world in Unreal Engine, and then just drag a slider to see some events occur, then add some factors like "big storm" or "earthquake" or "wildfire" or "Massive glacial melt" or 'hotter this year" or "colder last year" and watch whole civilizations collapse in the blink of an eye, or slow motion if you like.

[@bauzaque]

What, the population of the Americas, and some truly astonishing and unexplained feats of stone masonry, not to speak of the written language of the Mayas, required 20,000 years, and the same feats replicated elsewhere in the old world, all at roughly the same time- what to make of that? That given the genome distributions are geographically constrained, we must deduce that 20k years are required for a transition from hunting-gathering to the stasis of clans and villages, and hence "civilizations"... perhaps this is a natural process with a period of 20k years, which takes place every time a catastrophe nullifies civilizations? Given a certain level of evolution that remains roughly the same for several hundred thousand years?

There are a few logical explanations that don't involve civilization being advanced before the younger dryus thing. Peoples could have had some agriculture, tech and small groupings but we're stagnant for thousands of years because humans are, and or it's hard to gather and progress until, and if chance makes it available. An extinction event and or resources and or new ideas could have sparked new progress that just took off. IDK the answer or who's right, but knowing humans, I can definitely see us being little more than survivors for 200k years. Shit, most of us just sit on our hands today. Everyone says we've made so much progress in 1000 or 500 years, but I say we've barely done shit more than live in a cave compared to what we're capable of.

Why did it take "so long" ? Does Mr. Hancock expect the Wright brothers to have invented the Boeing 747 ?

I honestly don’t know what to make of this fellow. On the one hand he talks so well, is convincing, his body language is open and welcoming, and he’s obviously researched history to a high degree. On the other hand, his theories are such obvious horseshit. Such is the posture of the modern KZbin personality and its unfaltering yearning to push merch.

👋 Hey guys, this upcoming election is extremely important. Kamala Harris is not perfect but she wants to do do projects that'll improve the lives of most people like healthcare for your ageing parents, child tax credit, legal marijuana, 50K for new businesses, 25K for new home buyers, reduce cost of drugs (she already did this with insulin), go after price gougers (that's y things are expensive, inflation has been down but manufacturers and sellers still increase prices), increased taxes for billionaires and reduce taxes for people earning less than 400K. On the other hand Trump wants to deport migrants who work on farms and build houses, imagine how expensive things will be, these migrants might be illegal but they don't commit crime, they just want labourous jobs that Americans don't want. He wants to put tariffs on everything, that'll increase the price of everything you buy in a store because sellers won't eat that cost. He wants to reduce tax for his billionaire friends. He said he wants to release the military on leftists, you might disagree with them but using the military on them?? Harris is not Biden, she is going to be better in areas like going after people increasing prices because she is good at that, she was a prosecutor, Biden is a career politician. Please vote for Harris / Walz. The reason things felt better during Trump was that he was riding on Obama's success, that is why. He didn't do anything to make things better, then he botched covid and helped Saudi Arabia with a stupid oil deal to save them billions and handed Biden a damaged economy, that's why things are more expensive now. Trump is not the answer, not one bit, he is extremely selfish, his son in law made 2 Billion during Trump's first term from Saudi Arabia, do you think they gave him that money because they're kind? No. He tried to steal the last election buy telling Mike Pence to declare him winner even though he knew he lost , when Pence disagreed Trump said " you're too honest Mike". Please, please, please, please, I'm begging you don't take this election lightly, please vote for Harris / Walz. Thanks and God Bless ☺️
