Part 14/16:
Selective Use of Evidence: Hancock cherry-picks data—star alignments, folklore, and landscape features—while ignoring overwhelming archaeological consensus based on extensive research like radiocarbon dating, stratigraphy, and cultural context.
Speculative Interpretations: Assigning symbolic carvings as star maps or meteor illustrations without corroborating evidence risks confirmation bias.
Misrepresentation of Archaeological Processes: The idea that sites like Göbekli Tepe were “first attempts” or deliberately buried as “time capsules” oversimplifies complex cultural and natural processes documented by scholars.
