Ancient Apocalypse

Interesting, sure. I love hidden secrets!

However the focus of this series (I lasted nearly one episode, granted) seems not to be to inform or discover, but to blame and miscredit. Much time is put on whining over who doesn't believe in him, as a "scientist", which he obviously isn't. He claims that he knows this, and still does not comprehend the critics her receives... If this had been "published" on YouTube, fine, but financed by Netflix makes me want to end the subscription.

It reminds me of those mysterious "science"-books, about self-combudtion and alien-sightings I used to love as a child, it does not belong here!

A condensed review of some of the most fascinating locations in ancient history. Thoroughly enjoyed every episode and would recommend to anyone with a keen interest and those with a fleeting interest. It's bite sized enough to watch without knowledge and in-depth enough for those with existing knowledge.

Graham provides interesting points throughout and while there will always be questions left unanswered, the whole point is to ask the questions. My favourite episodes are 1-2 and 4 but all are great. He breaks down the history and ancient cultures really nicely too with a lot of ancient text and stories included.

Plenty of examples here where things are made to seem true just by association by statements that appear to support the arguments made, but really are just used for only that purpose in many cases.

Graham obviously is not doing this to save humanity from ignorance, and I do agree that old ways of thinking should be challenged, but this is just another example of how not to do it.

Graham is clear in his statement that he is a journalist, not archeologist or scientist. If he truly had the motivation to expose the "lies" from established archeologists, why not get the credentials and beat them at their own game?

Worth a watch for that purpose, educational material for critical thinking.

Journalist Graham Hancock brings us the compelling idea that advanced civilizations existed on Earth as far back as the last Ice Age and that our technological knowledge was wiped out through apocalyptic events. He acts as a guide, bringing us to ancient ruins and discussing the advanced knowledge it would take to build these structures, along with his theories on why academia is getting our history wrong.

Unfortunately, this series employs a continuous soundtrack of music and booming sounds, which makes the dialogue difficult to hear and understand. I would much prefer to hear the information Graham has researched so thoroughly rather than cheesy sound effects.

The term 'pseudo-science' has been used to create an interesting aura with the guy who correlated information for this series. There is a sense to discredit the perspective attained not only by him but also numerous other recognised and educated individuals who attained qualifications / recognition for their data and factual interpretation.

There comes a point where 'scientists' can eliminate so much information they end up discrediting what they have access to. The guy in this programme presents himself as a journalist...he has spent his life simply gathering information from both indigenous people and physical locations that display physical data / information and other people with recognition in their field. Instead of actively eliminating data he correlates and forms informative patterns. It is important to accept we don't need to be limited to the perspective of some individuals who claim to be better than others but instead just be able to acknowledge the wealth of information available.

Truth is as ability to correlate data improves, we gain a more clear picture of what was always able to be viewed - think back to when those who claimed the Earth was flat and there was an edge to fall off, then to when we first gained an image of Earth from space. The archeological people who are failing to simply acknowledge views of others are themselves removing a sense of scientific analysis. LiDAR, computer correlation of constellation placement through thousands of years, physical objects and carvings as well as stories through the history of mankind surely can be acknowledged as a whole rather than eliminated. I am left wondering why this guy has been labelled 'pseudoscience' when he actively has people from numerous perspectives share their sense of what they know from visible and known data sources.

We gain better awareness through experiencing numerous perspectives. Why would you actively want to limit an opportunity to allow people to experience what others have dedicated their life to correlating? No-one needs to cover up - let people form their own view of this programme which is well worth watching. For many years information has been controlled, held by those deemed worthy when we are all worthy of forming a view ourselves.

Recommend you watch with open eyes and ears. You don't need to accept everything that is shared. What is hidden will always be revealed...
