Part 15/16:
Conflation of Myth and History: Folklore and mythology are used as “evidence” for lost civilizations, ignoring their mythic nature and the lack of physical evidence linking them to actual events.
Dismissal of Mainstream Science: Hancock portrays archaeologists as resistant and dogmatic, portraying scientific methods as an obstacle, while in reality, archaeology is an interdisciplinary science that adapts with new evidence.
Conclusion: A Warning Against Speculative History
Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse offers a compelling narrative, but one founded largely on conjecture, misinterpretation, and dismissal of extensive archaeological work. While encouraging curiosity about humanity’s ancient past, viewers should critically evaluate such claims.
