+jos vermeuelen By the way he also cites many academic journals and you can seriously go online and cross check everything his states with reliable credible sources from various universities, museums, and other anthropology foundations and institutions. It's called google.
And there's nothing wrong with showing a wiki page, so long as the sources related to the wiki page subject are accurate themselves. And he doesn't just use wiki like I mentioned. In fact, he doesn't use wiki that much at all, he cites various academic journal peer reviewed work, and other institutional review work. Again, you can cross check the sources.
This is actually very well done. Many in anthropology or who have studied anthropology just don't bother, give these ancient alien and other woo woo scammers a time of day. But when History channel is giving them a QVC shopping network free advertising, it's probably best someone make a short concise point by point explanation to how and why the woo woo people are flat out making up shit for money, attention, from pure lazy ignorance themselves, and/or a form of entertainment. Either way they'll make you stupid, and follow them too closely, they'll be happy to take your money while they make you dumber. They're scammers.

I would agree with you if they presented what is actually possible.
And the History Channel isn't just presenting conjecture they're claiming to have evidence. Therefore this evidence should be scrutinized which it isn't.
History Channel allows the claimants to make outright fabrications. Absolutely no cross checking with other sources, or fully revealing all data available like the accuracy location and geology of the structures, quarries, tools found on sight, the discovered meanings and texts of the cultures in the area, etc.
Its the same as me saying:
I have a bridge to sell you. Here is the picture link below.
Bridge is for sale for a cheap $150,000 dollars. Bridge was built 2008 well maintained with subsidies by the local county to assist with maintenance and resurfacing.
Yearly revenue is $85,000 minus total costs of $50,000 means profit $35,000 total fyr 20013.
I'm selling it for so cheap because I'm needing cash flow. Too many projects and need to finish them. I'm in a squeeze and figured youtube would be the best place to get a quick buyer.

I presented some evidence of my bridge. So its possibility I have a bridge for sale and you could literally make a pretty good profit as I claim.
I then provide evidence.
Of course the evidence is total bullshit if you actually review it. The bridges remarked aren't even the same bridges. The revenue figures are completely made up.
Now the question becomes: would you accept advertisements or a documentary based on complete bullshit? Does providing fabricated evidence cause people to be unaware to deception? People who really don't have much time to do their own research and generally trust a fair treatment of analyzing claimed evidence?
Is the excuse to essentially deceive people for entertainment sake justifiable? Or as you put it, help us advance in any meaningful way other than to make people a little more stupider?
"You hear about that bridge for $150K on the internets?"
"Ya, just 5 years becomes big fat cash cow, thinking about snapping that bridge up!"
"I'm gonna get me one of those bridges too!"
Now you have bunch of morons thinking toll bridges are fairly cheap. And that they're widely privatized bridges exist for sell. When in reality, they're probably going to visit some con artists website and certainly sell them a bridge LOL!
Oh yes, the caves, without duping people we'd still be in the caves LOL!

+Tom Leeds I was suspicious about such claims as aliens even though my dad ate the stuff up. When taking anthropology courses, from Meso America concerning the Olmec, Mayans, and Aztecs; to Ancient Egypt, Greek, Persia, etc. Various arts from the dark age to enlightenment western and eastern European to Middle Eastern covering the same periods.
Certain things like the Mayan calendar foretelling the end of days in 2012, after we studied everything about it, learning the Mayan used the calendar to attribute names to people based on their birth date.
The so called UFO's found in dark and medieval art... It gets frustrating because the ancient alien nuts are so ignorant about all of evidence of what's actually known, its overwhelming to even bother to explain to the ignorant person who doesn't really want to learn the evidence that does exist. Glad this guy made this video, it's concise and to the point, and hits every goofy outright false claims. Erik guy is a well known convicted fraud.
