  1. I'm now onto chapter 4 of The Dawn of Everything. I really like that Graeber and Wengrow cover some of the archeological evidence explored in a somewhat sensationalist way people like Graham Hancock. Places like Göbekli Tepi and Poverty Point. These sites so pose interesting questions, and its good to be exposed to more scholarly but still radical ways of thinking about what they might tell us.

  3. The Dawn of Everything covers the implications of Göbekli Tepe. An archeological discovery that's intrigued me since my Graham Hancock watching friends first told me about it, leading to me to watching Hancock's NetFix series.

    But of course, Graeber and Wengrow neither deny its relevance, *nor* leap to Hancock's conclusion, that it's evidence of a previously unknown Roman-level civilization.

  5. Are the Lore Lindu megaliths of the Bada Valley part of some lost and unknown trans-continental culture that someone like Graham Hancock espouses?

  6. Book Review: The Magicians of the Gods

    This treatise starts with the story of J. Harlan Bretz, an American geologist. He had an unconventional theory on geology; he was ridiculed; he was later found correct.

Ünlü Araştırmacı piramitleri kimlerin inşa ettiğini açıkladı!: Tarihsel ortodoksiye meydan okuyan açıklamalarıyla tanınan İngiliz araştırmacı-yazar Graham Hancock, American Alchemy adlı podcast programında Gize Yaylası’ndaki Keops Piramidi’nin sanılandan çok daha eski olabileceğini öne sürdü.Hancock’a göre bu dev yapı, 4.500 yıl önce Firavun Khufu döneminde değil, 12.500 yıl… eshahaber.com.tr/haber/bilim-d EshaHaber.com.tr #Bilim #GrahamHancock #Piramitler #Arkeoloji #Mısır

  9. New research suggests that Gunung Padang in West Java, Indonesia, may be the world’s oldest pyramid, dating back 25,000 years. If confirmed, this would rewrite our understanding of early civilizations and architecture. #Archaeology #GunungPadang #AncientMysteries ##grahamhancock

  11. Don't watch #GrahamHancock's #AncientApocalypse season 2 on #Netflix. At least don't post & admit you are watching it.

    I'm watching Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix.

  12. @kittylyst @otfrom It’s true that the understanding of when humans first arrived in North America has evolved significantly. While some journalists might not always provide the most accurate reporting, the broader scientific consensus is based on rigorous research. Recent archaeological finds and genetic studies suggest humans may have been in the Americas much earlier than the Clovis culture, possibly 18,000 to 20,000 years ago. So, #GrahamHancock may not be such a crackpot after all…

  14. I see media clowns are still indulging the entertaining lies of Graham Hancock

    Big load of "I, a white man, know better than your oral history of hundreds of generations"

    He's not even an Archaeologist. 🤷‍♂️

  16. Fascinating. I'm not sure if this will get me to watch the #JoeRogan #podcast, but it's nice to see that some smart peeps gird their loins and speak up about some of the lunacy that's being brought by disturbingly popular pseudo-archeologists like #GrahamHancock and his noisome ilk. In this case it's a gloriously named real #archeologist named Dr. Flint Dibble. Turns out that Hancock's nonsense helps #whitesupremacy make their dangerous claims. #science #disinformation boingboing.net/2024/04/19/arch

  18. I can't tell if #GrahamHancock believes he's contributing to archaeology or grifting, but I think it's clear #FlintDibble exposed his ample misinformation and poor reasoning. And more importantly, he showed these kinds of conversations are valuable in the pursuit of better public understanding. The establishment is making a big mistake by not engaging their critics. If Joe can do it here, they are either misinformed/lying about him or how hard this is to do. #JRE

  20. According to conventional history, #NewZealand is the last major landmass on Earth to be settled by humans. This distant island, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, remained uninhabited until the first Polynesians, the Māori, arrived around 1300 AD. However, a remarkable discovery was made on the North Island of New Zealand, one that can completely shatter our established understanding of the region's ancient history. Within the dense vegetation of the Kaimanawa Ranges lies a large megalithic structure known as the Kaimanawa Wall, a formation of stones so precisely fitted together that it has ignited a fervent debate about its origins, challenging our understanding of New Zealand's prehistoric past. The wall itself is characterized by a series of tightly fitted stones, which, at first glance, appear to have been placed with precision. The stones are massive, with some estimates suggesting that they weigh several tons each. It was determined that the stones were 330,000 years old and were made of ignimbrite, a volcanic stone made of compressed sand and ash. The nearest outcrop of such stone is 3 miles away or five kilometres. This aspect alone has fueled speculation about the level of sophistication required to assemble such a structure, should it have been the work of human hands. Upon closer examination, the arrangement of the stones reveals an almost geometric precision. The stones align in a manner that suggests an intentional pattern, with straight lines and angles that are uncommon in natural rock formations.

  22. Resale shop find. Added to my pseudo science library. The newspaper article clipped out was being used as a bookmark. Also presumably a reminder to pick up the sequel. Or something.

  26. Step Back's @TristanPEJ is one of my most favourite creators on Youtube & Nebula. He's a man with a mission I wholeheartedly support.

    If you're curious about The Discourse™ surrounding Netflix's 'Ancient Apocalypse', let Tristan explain. & no, you don't need to watch the "documentary" series. Probably best you don't. Start here: youtu.be/bFKRnnqNBzo

  27. On ne le souligne pas assez, mais la théorie des origines de l'humanité de #GrahamHancock est fondée sur un #racisme à peine caché. En gros : c'est pas quelques sauvages crasseux dans leur forêt qui ont pu construire ces édifices tout de même !

    Dans les années 2000-2010, des connaissances - issues de la #bourgeoisie parisienne et disposant d'un capital culturel important - raisonnaient pareil... à propos du 11-Septembre 2001.

  28. Die "Society for American Archaeology" versucht #GrahamHancock für #AncientApocalypse mittels vermeintlichem Rassismus zu diskriminieren, dabei war die gesamte Menschheit bis vor 10.000 Jahren noch schwarzhäutig, gerade sie sollten das eigentlich wissen. 🤪

  30. The first day of the year-end #holiday, and I am watching "Ancient Apocalypse", a documentary series. It is fascinating and beautiful to watch.

    British writer Graham Hancock hosts it; the eight-part series travels to locations worldwide looking for evidence of lost civilisations dating to the last Ice Age. I am at 3rd part, but it's less factual and primarily based on myths and legends of diverse cultures.

    He says a global flood wiped out an advanced civilisation. Then points to a recurring great flood myth in religions and cultures worldwide. From Noah's Ark in the Bible to Deucalion in Greek mythology — as proof.

  31. @Honeybadger I have yet to watch it, but #GrahamHancock, the main subject, does tell stories well. But they are just that. Stories. He is known in the scientific community for cherry picking facts, and is generally thought of as a fraud. Put on your sceptic hat before consuming, and even if billed as a "documentary" maybe consider it more in the "entertainment" genre.

  32. I've been watching a little bit of the "most dangerous show on television" (according to click-baiters @guardian), i.e. #GrahamHancock's #AncientApocalypse.

    You know what it reminds me of more than anything else? Reading evolutionary #psychology. In other words, what's mainly wrong with it is nothing more than what's wrong with all over-enthusiastic science: it's all based on case-building, no notion of real hypothesis testing. In his own words, Hancock's been "searching for proof" for decades.

  34. I love a good documentary, but when the host / 'specialist' keeps saying "as I believe", "I think", "I'm suggesting"... It's really one dudes thoughts / opinion.

  36. Hancock? More like Halfcocked am I right? There is nothing that triggers me more than misinformation in my area of expertise, platformed to such scales that I become aware of it. For real tho. I spend so much time educating people, vigorously citing sources. Then some doofus comes along and just obliterates evidence based knowledge and learning with complete and utter fallacies. 😩💔
