Part 3/14:
A recurring theme in Hancock’s presentation is his dismissal of well-documented dating methods. For example, he mentions that the site is built “before Sicilian farmers arrived” without acknowledging the wealth of pottery and artifacts that date Malta’s megalithic culture to the early Neolithic period, around 4000–3000 BCE. He also highlights supposed Neanderthal teeth found in Maltese caves, suggesting some form of advanced pre-human civilization, ignoring the fact that Neanderthals went extinct 40,000 years ago and their presence doesn’t support the claims of a sophisticated civilization.
