[@phatmemer69]

I should mention that when I talk about DMT & ayahuasca there is a difference. DMT can last for a short period of time. However Ayahuasca contains a MAOI inhibitor which slows down the body breaking it down so lasts much longer, usually hours in length. Either way it'll get u fucked up lmao

[@jukeseyable]

BTW mainstream archaeology embraces the role of psychedelics in human societal develpoment. specifically it is addressed in 1st yr university archaeology modules that relate to the upper paelothic through to the maesolithic time period, (look up cave painting traditions such as altamera's hall of bulls). The period is termed the "cultural flowering of humanity" where we see the first evidence that humans are not just concieving the world literally but also symbolically. Handcock lies about mainstream archaeology in this regarde, it enables him to portray Archaeology as unmoving and behind. But isnt it ironic that he actually relies on archaeology for elements of his ideas. Where Hancock speculates regarding the role of psychedelics, archaeology has found actual evidence to support the hypothesis. to be clear the role of psychedelics is taught to all 1st year undergraduates that take modules relating to either the measolithic of upper paleaolithic.

Uhhhh he thinks that producing plastic was an option for them, and they simply chose not to produce it because they were so awesome that they just didn't need it...

[@ItsAv3rageGamer]

@@rachelblake2350 He didn't say they definitely had the option, just that maybe a conscious decision was made to go in a different direction? What's so strange about that?

[@rachelblake2350]

@@ItsAv3rageGamer to suggest they made a decision to not use plastic implies plastic was an option. Which is a strange thing to suggest with regards to a civilization that presents no evidence that they ever even discovered the components of plastic. Like if I ask my partner what we should have for dinner, steak or pasta, but we don't have any steaks, it's not really a decision or a viable option, is it? So to suggest it was a decision implies some agency in that process. Which, again, is not based on any evidence whatsoever.

[@ItsAv3rageGamer]

@@rachelblake2350 he’s simply saying we should have an open mind. Plastic may be the wrong kind for example to use, but his overriding point was that we perhaps shouldn’t be looking for ourselves in the past and defining our society (which is hugely based on technology) as being the only possible definition of ‘advanced’. That perhaps these civilisations were advanced in different ways to us. That they went down a different route.

[@rachelblake2350]

@@ItsAv3rageGamer still not based on evidence, sorry, and frankly he isn't responsible enough to make his own arguments if you have to reinterpret them for me in the comments. It's like me saying there's a massive brick wall surrounding the Earth, and then when you say "how come we can get to space though?", I just say "Oh, the bricks are made of a *different kind of matter* that we just don't understand yet. Stop using baryonic matter as a basis for your arguments!" Sorry Graham, you don't get to just say whatever you want, then handwave it away with "you're not open minded enough" when all we are asking for is evidence.

An ayahuasca trip does not last 15 mintues. You are confusing it with a DMT trip, DMT comes crystalized and is smoked with a very short high. Ayahuasca on the other hand has the physcoactive chemical altered into a brew and the trip can last for many hours.

[@UsmevavyPanacek]

Not altered, they ad MAO inhibitors, causing the effects of DMT to last longer by disrupting brain mechanisms that would normally cut it short- DMT is usually produced in brain during some sleep phazes (and I guess during death).

[@antoinesilva1527]

The problem is being stoned seems to help people a lot with creativity, but I don’t think it’ll do as well when you’re working with facts and/or numbers. Obviously though, it seems to have helped Hancock a lot in thinking of new ways to get closer to the truth, and I appreciate that.

[@UsmevavyPanacek]

@@antoinesilva1527 From my own experience, it can help with better understanding of facts, as long as you have some knowledge. But if you know few scraps, you usually come up with this stoner style nonsense Hancock, Sheldrake and others are spouting. I came up with drivel like that. But with more knowledge and experiences, I left those behind. Yet these grifters still sound like college kids that had Mushrooms for the first time.

You're thinking of Changa. Crystallised DMT usually only lasts around 5 minutes.

[@simondancaster8334]

For someone who’s read most of his books and many others in this collation of various fields of ancient study, as well as (striving) to keep up with a host of fascinating new discoveries, I can safely say my critical faculties do not feel dulled by reading Hancock. Quite the opposite in fact, it’s lead me to other works by other authors/researchers offering their own or opposing interpretations and theories. Hancock has openly debated his critics and always come out better, in my view. I mean for fucks sake, mainstream Egyptologists still say the pyramids were tombs of pharaohs! Is it any wonder they’re ridiculed?

[@4crafters597]

Uses demonstrably false/misleading "facts" in his netflix show. Gets called out. Doesn't respond. (Regardless of whether true or not) gets called a racist. Paints it as an attack of the wider archaeology community. Which wants to silence him, obviously wanting to gain from it. Because it is the archaeologists that earn money by rejecting his ideas based on insufficient evidence, not the guy writing books, going on podcasts, making a netflix series... the one screaming persecution is also the one that invites to debate on JRE, instead of, you know, academic forums.

​@4crafters597 you would have to read his books to understand. Most are just jumping on the hate band wagon and don't actually know anything about his work. That's cool though as he's killing it out here right now and finally is having a positive impact on changing perspectives and opening minds.

[@4crafters597]

@@FracturedParadigms i completely understand. He is spouting mostly non prove-able theories, some may even be true, but what he posits in his theories and what he talks about in interviews are different things. And that can mean only two things: he doesn't actually know what he is talking about, or, he doesn't care and says what will give him the biggest buzz, so that he can sell more of his books. This is centuries old strategy. Make a big buzz with lots of controversies, say anything you want as long as people will cry over it (in both directions), they will buy your book, which coincidentally only includes less controversial opinions. So if anyone dares to challenge you, your army will go: "That's not what he said in his books, the interview was just a hyperbole, he is actually pretty smart if you give him money, and way less controversial" Well, as Bill Nye said: "No you f*cking idiot". These theories are already well explored, some seen as improbable, some seen as un-prove-able, some seen as likely. What he does is take these theories, put them together, add some screaming, add some media circus, sell books, and then backpedal to the theories that other people already talked about decades ago. Great. 50 Bucks for the paperback, 10 for the ebook. Great. And millions of people buying in to the persecution theme, just to promote books that are as truthful as Harry Potter but written worse. I don't even care so much about the theories, just, most of them are very similar to Hapgood, Bauval or West, yet none of them have a netflix series?

[@AnonYmous-lk9qy]

I love Graham, he was one of the people who was talking about DMT and Ayahuasca before it became more widely known, and it’s really positively impacted my life. I don’t think he’s really making any grandiose claims if you really look beneath the surface at his books. It’s exactly like you say at the end - he’s just basically saying what if? If you watch the more extensive JRE debates it does become clear that mainstream science and archeology is lacking in evidence itself and popular theories do make significant assumptions. Not saying Hancock has the monopoly on the truth, but he asks for great questions and opens up some great debates! Great video as always!

[@TH-el1dr]

Making over a dozen shows and appearances misrepresenting historical context, stringing together shoddy "evidence" and saying what if? Is as close as an implication can get to a claim without him downright saying it. The difference is so minimal it may as well be the same thing

[@Ivan220996]

He's not just saying "what if" he is filling people's mind with bs. If he used all that funding for real research it's very possible that he would make a real legitimate discovery by now. Don't forget, Troy was considered a myth until an amateur discovered it. Well that's not the case with Hancock because while the guy who discovered Troy used his own money to do so, Mr Hancock actually got rich and famous from his endeavors. He's a grifter

Having an open mind is important but not when it involves having NO MIND and not using any critical thinking skills. Its great that Graham is such a keen researcher that he physically goes to investigate things, but that hard work is a waste of time if youre going to draw unreasonable conclusions from it. At least if he embraced his status as a pseudointellectual, people would be sure to exercise critical thinking so as not to be vulnerable to his dubious arguments

The way he presents his work looks like starts with a conclusion and then bends all the facts during his research to get to that conclusion. Which is like the biggest no no for scientific work.

the problem that the mainstream has with Hancock is that he's soft and well-spoken eloquent elegant yet persistent in a debate he never attacks the person personally he indeed names him/her in the debate to point out the source but the argument takes precedent over disliking someone. the way I have seen the mainstream react is quite vicious attacking subjects that don't enter into the debate and or the argument aka personal attacks always in a sneering with arrogance kind of manner or they just walk out, decline him access to an area, or poopooing him with ignorant laughter cancel meetings and other dismal ways. the thing is if you take away Hancock there are still the same impossible things out there that the mainstream just has ridiculous answers to so, if Hancock dies another equally passionate person will defend these findings.

[@Myrzghe]

@@MrJeffy682 some of the alignment with the cosmos are accidental, but the stars were more important back then, so it's logical that some of it is by design. The perfect stones etc is just skilled craftsmanship. There have been many people who have built stone henge like structures on their own using only primitive tools in modern times, so it's not impossible at all.. And even if some of it is so impressive we find it hard to believe they were able to make it with hand tools, any other explanation is so far outside the realm of possibility, so we can only conclude that they were made by hand.

[@MonsterMaze]

The ancient Egyptians WERE advanced for the time. They were no less intelligent than you or I. Hancock's theories diminish that and the achievements of other ancient civilisations by claiming that someone else (Atlantians?) must've tought them how to do it. For which the evidence is flimsy at best. That's the biggest problem archeologists have with guys like Hancock. He starts off with a preconceived idea, and then tries to cherrypick evidence that support that idea. All the while ignoring the stuff that disproves his claims. Which is not how science works. Which shouldn't be surprising, since he is a journalist by trade. Not a scientist.

No he doesnt ask the right questions. he manufactures gaps in our understanding in order to make room for mystery and thus suggest his theory of a highly advanced earlier civilisation. so let me ask you 2 of the right questions. If there was a pre neolithic world wide civilisation that passed their knowledge on before disapearing without trace, where did they get their knowledge from. Question 2 Why does he ignore so much clearly well researced evidence saying that wqe dont know the dates, when we clearly do. he is disingenious and dishonest. in fingerprints of the gods he inverts the photo of the giza plateau, Norts becomes South, and South North, but he doesnt swap the labels. his work is repleat with lise like this

Thing is... there is no such thing as "established" or "mainstream" archeology. That's a trick Hancock and others play to make it seem like it's them against the world. The truth is that archeologists are constantly challenging and correcting each other. When a new discovery comes to light that changes everything, the general mindset changes with it, and new studies are done and theories crafted. Whoever can produce the most solid evidence wins. And you bet that evidence will be scrutnized to hell and back before it is accepted.

Literally the Alex Jones of archeology.. he's right about alot , but so wrapped up in the clout that he'll say anything.. He is far past the point of hurting the field ..

[@naphataliheimann9281]

Seems like a journalist who's found a way to make it into celebrity status. Kind of reminds me of Pierce Morgan. Would say anything to get himself views and popularity. No matter how insane it is. Side note: getting stoned on weed does not give you a insight into the supernatural, it just makes 1 incredibly aware of one's emotions. Side Side note: the fact you bun shows why your videos are so good. It's such a communicator if used correctly.

[@secularbeast1751]

lmao. Hancock hasn't ever 'discovered' a damn thing. All he does is make up historical fantasy stories using the evidence discovered by others who put in the real work of unearthing humanity's past.

[@zachpajat720]

Yo you got a couple things half true. DMT is released in large amounts when you're born and when you die. Also every REM cycle during sleep is DMT territory. Lastly DMT and 5 meo-DMT can be smoked and is a psychedelic shotgun blast to the face with an insanely short halflife of about ten minutes where as drinking DMT brew invites "Mother" to share your headspace and have a look around your Temple and make a bid for a renovations project that might as well last a lifetime clocking it 6 to 8 hrs maybe more🎉

[@Kodama666]

in regards to graham being a racist, i dont think he is a racist, HOWEVER. It is an inarguable FACT that ALL the ideas he subscribes to (atlantis, ancient societies, etc) ORIGINATED FROM NAZI GERMANY where hitler appointed scientists and historians to look for evidence of aryan superiority throughout history and attempt to prove aryans as the superior race i.e. atlanteans. To conclude, this does not make graham racist, however it does HEAVILY discredit not only his understanding of his own beliefs but those beliefs themselves.

[@raydavison4288]

The guy who made the 4 hour video is arrogant, angry and.full of himself. His one agenda is to debunk Hancock's ideas.

[@MonsterMaze]

If you would check his channel you would see that this is not his "agenda" at all. The majority of his videos completely unrelated to Hancock. He's a real archeologist who makes content about various topics. The debunking videos are simply him pushing back against Hancock's ideas and scrutenizing his claims. Which is a good thing.

[@rafarig1574]

If only he thought about these subjects with an open mind and at one point, he did. Unfortunately, over the past few years; Graham has gone all in on his advanced civilisation theory and new age spirituality religion. He’s now blind to more plausible and evidence based explanations and seems to attack archaeologists, claiming to be the underdog when in reality he’s just making straw man arguments time after time.

[@BigDome1]

Some of your videos are great, but ones like this that veer into pseudo-moralism and sanctimony are really unpleasant to watch.

He is more about sticking it to the man than he is for furthering science or research. His base assumption is that anything mainstream is wrong.

Its crazy watching the mainstream invest so much in discrediting him. Its great watching him finally blow up though and have a massive impact on the archeology and history culture.

[@kylesmith2604]

I find it funny how all y’all shitting his ideas say exactly “no critical thinking skills” I wonder who y’all are all listening to instead of actually looking and reading HIS work. He doesn’t just say everything is blatantly wrong, only pointing out that certain stories simply don’t add up. We literally just found a human made and tooled 400k+ year old wood structure in Greenland which blows literally everything we think about life here questioned. People will just say “it’s not possible based on what we have already found”. Why? Cause for some reason other evidence being submitted into the case of human history is so wrong? Why not embrace being wrong about the original ideas and jump onto these new sites, gate keeping human history through “I’m an expert you’re not” is absurd.

[@MonsterMaze]

Critical thinking has nothing to do with anything you just said. Archeologists change their minds all the time. History is rife with studies and discoveries that made everyone in the field rethink certain aspects of our planet's past. People like you make it sound like archeologists are some kind of hive mind that have all been taught to play along with the same narrative, while in reality, that is far from the truth. It's every archeologists dream to discover the next big thing. However, you're gonna have to come up with some really solid evidence. And you can bet that evidence is going to be scrutenized to hell and back before it gets accepted. That's how the scientific method works. But whenever people push back against Hancock's ideas, he starts playing the victim and villifies/generalizes archeology as a whole. To which I say: If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

It's just unfortunate that of all the archaeological discoveries made since Hancock began his work none of them in any way back up his claims. A shame he didn't allow for the possibility that his mistakes while stoned included his 'research.'

@mrmr446 there is a link. The hand bag 👜. And what are you talking about? It litterally is older than what main stream archeology said human civilization is. By aboutsix thousand years. Thus proving his point. This was years ago. Maybe you should get up to date. Like the newest "oldest sites". Found in 2017
