Any other #histodons or #archaeology people see this?
The *possibility* of *an* advanced ancient civilization?!

Ancient conspiracy theory tv shows point to an inability to fathom that people (esp non-white people) in the past had sophisticated societies & technologies. It’s disturbing.

@cgoodhistorian I believe that @FlintDibble was having kittens over it. And planned some debunkery.

@FlintDibble @mem_somerville Oh thanks, looking forward to reading more!
I actually took a class in college called “Myths & Mysteries in Archaeology,” seems like debunking this show would make a good final project 😉

Review of Netflix's Ancient Apocalypse

​Graham Hancock has made this show before. Netflix’s Ancient Apocalypse is in substance and style very much like the Channel 4 / TLC series Quest for the Lost Civilization that Hancock made...

@hoaxeye @cgoodhistorian @mem_somerville i tried my best to both debunk and provide wider context that'd help the general public understand Hancock's lack of evidence, his rhetoric, and the deep history of his hoax

@FlintDibble @hoaxeye @cgoodhistorian I really appreciate you doing this. I know it's ultimately thankless [from years of debunking bogus biology claims]. But I'm definitely in the camp of this being worthwhile.

I have shared your thread to reddit too. That's how this works--it can spread out from you via personal networks.
