    I thought his netflix series was interesting. He obviously isn’t the guy with all the answers, but he does ask questions most archeologists won’t, which I appreciate. I do believe that there is a lot of unrecorded history that we may be overlooking.

      He says he asks questions most archaeologists won’t, there is a difference. Graham Hancock has no problem lying, or omitting information to sell his books and TV shows. And who’s gonna stop him? It’s not actually illegal to lie about the past, just incredibly scummy.

      My six year old asks questions that most adults won’t. For the same reason.

      I would encourage you to look at why his arguments are considered ill-formed compared to conventional wisdom. If you want something funny to watch, Miniminuteman (who is an archeaologist) has a series reviewing Ancient apocalypse, for example, and I’m sure Professor Dave Explains has his own.
