Ancient Apocalypse

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.

Follows the theme we are a species with amnesia, that the Younger Dryas event some 12,800 years ago caused a climate catastrophe co-insiding with the end of the last ice age, which saw sea levels rise 400 feet and subsequently wiped out some 50 to 60% of the human race. Each episode is dedicated to an ancient megalithic site, which Graham Hamcock and other experts believe to be much older than present archaeological theory suggests. Each site carries its own myth and folklore, from biblical and other religious stories of great floods, to oral tradition tales of falling stars. If your mind isn't bogged down in the "we were hunter gatherers until 6000 years ago", narrative. Its worth a watch.

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.

Look, honestly it seems that the major pushback to this is just a bunch of whining, while the show honestly stays very grounded. It shows factual developments, great renders, really great writing.

The animations are a great and inspiring feat. He is not suggesting anything ridiculous, and it is a truly fun ride. Just check it out, then go on to explore on your own. Books like Sapiens or Dawn of Everything are great examples of the general shift in human history perception.

Let us not get blocked by many old archeologists who cannot let go of their way of seeing the world.

This is proposing points we must explore further, and then decide, whether they are valid or not. That is all the presenter asks for, after all.

I find it interesting those willing to discredit Graham so quickly , he isn't here to give you the answers but he's done an amazing job of presenting you with real information to help you open your eyes to the fact that we don't know everything about our history , why are mainstream archeologists so quick to discredit him when a lot of his claims made in this DOCUSERIES have solid ground to stand on, why can't they engage and instead of accuse him actually prove him wrong? If you are not willing to open ur eyes to another possibility other than your own you will never see the truth. Please watch this series for yourself and then decide if it's possible. Not if it's true, if it's possible who are we to say it's wrong. We don't know our history.
