Ancient Apocalypse

Yeah you read that right.

Made it to episode 4 where he discredits himself.

A dolphin is not a fish. Did he want to say that he isn't a scientist.

He says earlier that he believes that there is proof of an ancient civilization despite what everyone else says.

So I get that. But with the claims he makes during the first three episodes he isn't helping himself.

The narrative is drawn out... and than doesn't really say anything surprising.

Well he is obsessed with googling himself. And doesn't have issue that the specialists say that you should take in what he says with care.. The series isn't helped with him posing for drone shots. While a narrative is building up to another empty statement/unanswered question

Finally and I try to watch episode 4... and adjust my rating if there is an improvement... So far it has talked about structures not much more. And while they certainly are baffling... there is almost nothing else shown or talked about.

Where are all the items from these times??

How old are they dated?

Again utterly disappointed in a series about this matter.

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.

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.
