Part 13/14:

Conclusion
Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse attempts to weave an alluring story of lost civilizations, secret knowledge, and ancient mysteries. However, episodes 3 and 4 reveal a pattern of flawed evidence, misinterpretation of geology and archaeology, and reliance on conspiracy theories. His arguments often dismiss the scientific consensus and prioritize sensationalism over rigorous inquiry.
