Sorry i don’t remember replying to you. I think it was meant for something else.

I have seen it. Not what I am referring to though.

There is no evidence the past was ever like it is today. But I'm open to the idea that civilization can be built and destroyed. Do I believe in what Graham Hancock believes in, some kind of unified civilization during the ice age, no. There is the possibility of civilizations that were local or regional, not global. Potentially more advanced than hunter-gatherers, but nothing like we have today. Though I don't think there is any evidence of that. Still, I would not doubt it. There is some truth to what Graham Hancock says but he tends to exaggerate.

I think Graham Hancock provides some sort of awe inspiring wish fulfillment to people that want the world we lived in to be much more interesting, grand and mysterious.

Thats why people want to hear about lost advanced civilizations from 30.000 years ago or whatever.

For example, people were quick to dismiss what he said about the Sphinx being much older than what the archeologists initially dated it. Later, we found out that the Sphinx was built on top of a lion-like boulder that had been shaped by the wind for a very long time. Ancient Egyptians inspired by the pseudo-lion shape, subsequently cut the rest up as we recognize it today. Graham Hancock was correct that it was much older, the archeologists were wrong in dismissing him, but overall he was incorrect by jumping the gun with the overreach of inferring those data to indicate the age of Ancient Egypt was much older.

That is sort of where I stand. I am open to things. I dislike the narrow-minded people who take personal insults to people who want to explore alternative ways outside traditional archeology, however, there is a level of disciplinary approach to my reasoning ways where I still keep things critical on both ends.

Reminds me of this lion shaped boulder in Cal Highlands. In away though thearcheologist were still right because it appeared to be older as it was carved out of a natural shaped boulder that took shape before it.

The world is more adventurous than what distilled archeological papers describe and less out there than what Hankock cooks up. Much of what he says has some truth to it, then he goes OD with it.
