Re:Archaeologists Ask Netflix to Reclassify Graham Hancock’s... by spaceman_2020 on Monday December 05, 2022 @12:31AM (#33861828)
I don’t understand the resistance to his ideas honestly, or how it really impacts us as modern humans. Physiologically, humans 20,000 years ago were not any different than human beings 5,000 years ago. If they could figure out how to create structures in ancient Egypt, they could have very well figured how to create structures 15,000 years ago - the human brain was largely the same. Regardless, it does little to change how I view myself or my history as a human today.

I find the concept of a pre-ice age civilization with a degree of astronomical and stone working knowledge pretty fascinating and as I said above—plausible, perhaps even likely. But, I think Hancock gets a little more speculative and sure of himself than I think some of his evidence warrants. Some evidence seems plausible and compelling and some requires some big leaps of faith, but he for sure paints an interesting picture and I believe “what if..” is a powerful thing that shouldn’t be suppressed.
