Believing that ultra-intelligent creatures

—
Nowhere in the mini-series does Hancock make that claim. His claim is only that there was a previous unknown civilization, destroyed along with all of the mega-fauna by comet fragment bombardment, whose survivors (humans) journeyed around the world, teaching the surviving primitives the arts of civilization.

That is much like survivors from some nuclear war by our civilization teaching primitives in South America or Africa the same.

There is nothing farfetched or made up in the series - its is all based on real world science and observable fact (much of which there was no time to include). Because all of that disagrees with our ‘learned betters’ and ‘expert scientists’, is no call to dismiss it out of hand.

Why am I not surprised that Stuart Heritage would completely mis-represent the show...?

The Guardian author created an excellent example of why we should not trust the Guardian.

Shows like this, are just questioning writ large. It is what humans do, and it is fun.

I am watching the series as well. Nothing outrageous at all about it.
