  1. Hancock's core premise, that sea levels have risen so archeology needs to go underwater to find the pre-ancient cities, is proven. The current dogma that civilization arose simultaneously in several parts of the world is likely untrue and just an artifact of that sea level rise.

  2.  @twonumber22  The 30,000 years ago civilization is a recent theory of Hancock's from his most recent book America Before . In fact he posits humans in America go back 100,000 years. His seminal work Fingerprints of the Gods did not make claims of such antiquity. Regarding ET origins, I haven't seen any evidence he believes this; also he avoids any suggestion that the people of the theorized ancient civilization were not H. sapiens, which would have been possible 100 Kya.

  3. Science advances over the bodies of dead scientists. (Paraphrasing Max Planck.)
