Ancient Apocalypse premise is a lost civilization from ice age, but buy it or not it’s s great show and puts together a lot of bizarre pieces into a good theory which is apparently to much for Archaeologist to do . (They just continue to stick with a theory that is consistently being proven false year after year )

Right off the bat in Ep. 1 I learned of a new ancient site. Amazing stuff.

Figured it would be retelling of stuff I’d heard before, Gobekli Tepe, Manchu Pichu & the great pyramids being far older than we thought.

In. But I'm also an Ancient Aliens junky. Not that I believe all of it. Maybe some of it. It at least makes you think a little.

If you like the show, go back and listen to every episode Graham did on Rogan.

Makes me think a lot, actually. The official narrative so often isn't right, or fully understood.


What so few people understand is that in all areas, science is about breaking down existing schools of thought and breaking through established doctrines.

Before Gene Shoemaker, many believed that evidence for surface impacts on Earth were just old volcanoes. Sure, the moon had impact craters, but those happened so long ago, on Earth erosion would have erased all that, and those don't happen anymore. WRONG!

S. America and Africa appear to fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, but only recently did 'science' come to discover the concept of continental drift, and that those 2 land masses were actually one. Before that, suggesting they had once been joined was considered lunatic pseudo-science.

Dinosaurs were thought to be just giant lizards, until footprint evidence and bone histology revealed they were warm blooded, akin more to birds. (basically therapod dinos ARE birds)

I am too. I don’t buy the aliens premise but the show is consistently covering interesting sites and findings that you don’t see anywhere else.

I’m going to have to borrow a Netflix login and catch this one.

I’m enjoying this! This show doesn’t seem to have too much overhead so maybe they can come back with more episodes.

I’m not saying they can’t, but it’s all based on what Hancock has been investigating for decades. There may not be too much left to go over.

I did see this semi related theory on the cataclysmic event recently. This is a video from the Why Files exploring the idea of the great Pyramid as an energy plant. That’s an interesting topic on its own but he puts forth a theory for the Younger Dryas cataclysmic event not being a comet, but a mass coronal ejection from the sun. LINK

Those blocks were all scattered around in episode 1. Why would anyone do that? Why wouldn't they excavate the chambers in the hill and explore them?

The stuff about great floods getting passed down via religious stories does make sense though. That knowledge got handed down hundreds of generations and would have been altered significantly along the way, hence the religious stuff.

Lol. There’s evidence stacked on evidence that there were advanced civilizations prior to the current timeframe. I’m not talking about civilization like ours…but obviously advanced. This is also backed up by regional myths and legends from primitive peoples own origin stories.

I figured that thousands of years of elements, and erosion moved the blocks around the land.

I guess the folks with the resources don't believe that it's as significant/old as Graham and others believe. Seems like there is plenty of evidence though, enough to where someone with means would want to excavate it. Mind-blowing to me that it hasn't been.

As someone who knows, and as he talks about, don’t underestimate the power of academia. The problem is they are so highly invested into their work on a personal and careeristic scale that to disrupt such would be nullifying years of research, funding, and reputations. Plus, the profession only allows for highly specialization controlled by scientistism that it makes sense a journalist trying to find a grander narrative goes against the very essence of how people are trained to think and operate. The fields of knowledge are in a echo chamber without cross conversation that perpetuates the tunnel vision of thought.

There really isn't. The people who push this theory cite things like Gobekli Tepe as proof that they are right. It's actually the opposite. It's more proof that they're wrong. I've followed the research for a while and the more that is uncovered, the more it becomes obvious that the things people like Graham Hancock and Brian Foerster, Ancient Aliens, etc. say are wrong. Theories surrounding ancient ruins, the age of the Sphynx, sudden climate catastrophe, etc. melt away in the face of the actual research.

Scientists that dont take a liking to science that unless it'd their science. The established academic's inability to keeping an open mind is truly outstanding for people who main purpose should be to lock down the truth with facts that can be validated.

Nerdrotic is having an ep 1. review on his channel tonight - 9CST

Ancient Apocalypse review


This apparently will take the place of The ExoZone, which Gary used to do with Doomcock.

Why?

Changing accepted academic knowledge is slow, by design.

But this idea that humans only developed civilization in the past 10k years is a stretch.

I read his book, there is a lot of supposition sprinkled with various outlier facts. Facts like water erosion of the Sphinx.
