"Hancock is a journalist. He has been diving lately with archaeologists in several locations, India being one."

Hancock does not get the respect he desires because he is not an archaeologist? He sure gets people thinking though, me included.

Hancock is a rare bird. An investigative journalist, but with an interest in rooting out the sources of some popular rumors and myths by going to the place and talking with the local people man to man.

For example, his attempt to track down the Ark of the Covenant, although the trail ended indefinitely, brought Ethiopia to life for us, and introduced us to those who are to this day guarding what they believe is the actual Ark.

Now he has become proficient in SCUBA and is reporting on these drowned ruins. We are getting an excellent picture of what is happening in the field thanks to him.
