Do you have any evidence for what you are saying? It sounds like the rabbit hole I went down after watching the recent Netflix series Ancient Apocalypse and discovering pretty much all of his assertions can be refuted by just reading the Wikipedia for each “ancient” site such as this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunung_Padang

This gives a very different picture of the site than the one in the episode.

Is that the Graham Hancock series?

I've seen him speak. (It was, IIRC, at a Fortean Times Unconvention, an event that -- in part -- intentionally gives nutcases a chance to speak publicly, for the audience's amusement.)

He is a 100% total fraud, a laughing stock among genuine historians and archaeologists.

I am unconvinced whether he is a lunatic or intentionally a fraudster, but I am deeply concerned to learn he's on TV.
