    Brilliant

    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.

    Good title for exercising critical thinking

    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.

    Mind opening

    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.

    Watch it and make your own mind up

    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.

    Fascinating

    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.
