Part 11/16:
Hancock opens with a critique of how North American history is taught, claiming that new evidence upends the “outdated” story. He discusses controversial findings like the White Sands footprints, dated to around 23,000 years ago, and the Saruti Macedon site, suggesting human presence in North America over 130,000 years ago, far earlier than accepted evidence.
While intriguing, such claims are highly debated within the archaeological community. Hancock interprets these findings as evidence of advanced, global civilization and possibly even pre-agricultural builders of monumental structures.
