Nephilim! Apkallu!
He is a prude. This stuff is silly, maybe, but fun. It’s like the History Channel Aliens guy and the Von Daniken “Chariots of the God’s” stuff.
Why not?
Believing that ultra-intelligent creatures helped to build the pyramids is one thing, but where does it end? Believing that election fraud is real?
When the author makes comparisons such as the above, it shows he is a nut job himself.
How about this fairy tale...
...the proposed 10B Micron plant in Syracuse will employ 9k workers.
Graham Hancock is behind this and has built a huge base of fans and customers through the years. I am not surprised at this success of Ancient Apocalypse.
Indeed. I doubt the author has the wit to understand the irony of what he is writing. An author of an opinion piece in a newspaper questioning why opinions he doesn't like should be allowed.
“where does it end? Believing that election fraud is real?”
Everyone knows that democrats cheat. What’s he trying to do, tell us not to believe the obvious?
Never heard of this show. I’ll have to check it out.
What is the Prometheus reference all about? Poor writing to assume someone has seen something else.
The writer is an “expert” in things like… movies, music, tv. He clearly knows nothing about the enterprise of science. I don’t know anything about this fellow Hancock, but I do know something about how science progresses, It does not progress by trusting the experts and the “buttoned up” establishment.
One episode of this series focuses on the scablands of eastern Washington. It took many years for people much like Hancock to convince the uniformitarian “experts” that the scablands were shaped by at least one and probably several mega floods. The advocates had to fight tooth and nail against the kind of establishment this idiot media child would trust implicitly. By now they have essentially won the argument, and it is down to details like how many, and where did all the water come from, Montana or Canada or both.
I suspect the “experts” do not want to admit they were just prejudiced against discrepant ideas. They don’t know what Gobeckli Tepe is about either, or the Serpent mound in Ohio, but they have lots of highfalutin opinions, and don’t want to even hear new points of view.
In any case, it is an entraining series, and there is no harm in it. I think Stuart Heritage is the typical Guardian reporter, spewing his own conspiracy theories.
It’s a hypothesis, by a non-scientist, that fits some of the facts.
Some parts of the hypothesis appears to be likely, there was a environmental event 10800 BC. The tine known as the Younger Dryas. Probably caused by multiple impacts. In the last 10 years there has been evidence of civilizations older than 10000 years.
The ‘oral traditions’ of multiple cultures tell a tale of environmental disaster, likely meteor impacts and people with wisdom restarting civilizations.
I found the history intriguing in the show, as well as the archeological evidence. Not sure about the hypothesis.
“Believing that ultra-intelligent creatures helped to build the pyramids is one thing, but where does it end? Believing that election fraud is real?”
An interesting statement given that election fraud is a proven fact. It may or may not have been responsible for Trumps loss, but that’s a different discussion. Election fraud exists.
The earlier catastrophe that brought about the megafauna extinctions around 12K years ago involved the final capture of the southern part of our system by our present sun.The southern part of the system prior to that amounted mainly to Saturn, Neptune, Mars, and Earth, that is, the four bodies with the roughly 26-degree axis tilts.
Claiming that the flood amounted to God punishing the world for sin amounts to accusing God of stupidity. IOW, it amouints to claiming that God wiped the whole system over sin, only to have sin back in business forty years later as if nothing had happened.
Guilt-tripping people over sin was the basic business model of the Levites.
Why has this been allowed?

The official corporate/government narrative must never be challenged.
The show is interesting, if you allow yourself to ignore the editorial comments.
It’s amusing that articles rail about the show without suggesting where they are wrong. The facts are facts. The conclusions are the variables. That’s true with any science.
I always found creation stories interesting. Stories about “the flood” and the aftermath are strangely consistent.
Hancock is not suggesting ancient aliens or supernatural beings. He isn’t suggesting we have to “act now” to avoid impending disaster. He is looking at puzzle pieces and asking questions.
It would have been better to hear some feedback from the establishment, but that never happens. It would have been better to not make the traditional archeologists sound like COVID docs; the whole “hate science” theme was a little much. But, the show was fun and asks some interesting questions.
“Why has this been allowed?”
Imagination. No telling where it might lead. Crush it! We already know everything.
His article was pretty good until he went political and lumped in those who questioned the fairness of electoral counts with other conspiracy nuts...then he lost me.
One could have just have argued back that because he sees those folks who questioned the elections as the same sort of folks who “question” “big archeology” that the writer is also one of those in on the
cover up as well...being a lib and all that.
Yep
“seems to exist soley for conspiracy theorists”.
The author needs to chill - it’s entertainment - and no further outre` than all the action shows where the hero woman beats the crap out of a lot of guys that a gorilla might have trouble with.
There are far too many of current Apocalypses to contemplate.
To add even more is asking too much.
