Ancient Apocalypse

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.

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!

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.

For any curious mind that wants to know more about our past, this documentary reveals wonderful monuments, much older than well known monuments such as the pyramid of Giza. And not only presents these monuments, but analyzes them in ways that reveal the complexity of those minds that have realized them. It makes the viewer realize how many more hidden treasures are on this Earth, and how little we've explored them.. and how much more we could do to understand them. It truly excites and opens your mind to new possibilities.

As for the arguments behind his ideas about the ancient civilization, they are all empirical. He collects data from various sites, and in various ways, puts the information together and builds a story out of them. There is nothing extravagant in his methods, quite the contrary, they are quite sensible and rational. For those that criticize him merely because he did not earn a degree in this domain, remember centuries ago, people like Leonardo da Vinci were revolutionizing the world and there was no one to call them a fraud because they had no University diploma. In fact, I am most glad that there are individuals like Graham, who dare to use their whole creativity and imagination to explore and learn about the world, without the invisible chains imposed by our society.
