@Stephanie-we5ep I always find that amusing too, the "I trust the science" types are the most closed minded to anything that pushes back against the status quo. Anyone who actually values science should understand that science isn't static, it's rarely "settled", new things are being discovered every day.

You don't have to believe Hancock's theories, they are pretty out there, but anyone should be able to admit that many of the smears against him have been off the rails, viscious, and purely motivated out of career survival, not principle. A lot of theories seemed more outrageous when they were first proposed, and ended up being true.

@SavageHenry777 grifter is when thing I don't like.

@HansWurst-po3bd yea buddy, everything is exactly as the establishment tells you it is, nobody has ever been wrong about history before, and nobody has ever lied.

@FirstLast-wk3kc observation of reality? Are you refusing to acknowledge that people don't want their work to be discredited?

@drewbydoobydoo2918 that's not a very honest hypothetical though, because we haven't excavated anywhere close to 99% of all ancient ruins, and we probably never will. Ancient history is like a 1,000 piece puzzle that we only have about 100 pieces to. We have to fill in a lot of the gaps with assumptions, and that's fine, because it's the best thing we have, but anyone that's being honest will acknowledge that a lot of established world history is based on assumptions. So we shouldn't dismiss theories off hand because they sound crazy, or because they contradict conventional knowledge, because a lot of those theories have ended up to be accepted as true in the past.

@christiangrosjean2980 it would be pretty easy to prove there's no gremlins in my closet, because I can just look in my closet and see that there are no gremlins. Ancient history is a different story, because what we know is really just a small piece of the puzzle, with a lot of gaps in between. A lot of Hancock's theories would fill in some of those gaps. It isn't proven, but it makes logical sense, and is deserving of more research.

@GothPaoki no proof, but there's plenty of evidence.

@gingerbaker_toad696 YT deletes comments, content creators can also add filters to delete even more, but I've never seen any reason to believe Metatron does.

 @licensedtodill he's going for that quirky "professor by day, badass explorer on the weekends" look, but less badass.

@DarthRevan2.0117 I know it can be scary to admit that you don't have the whole world figured out. But reality doesn't care if you're scared, it still exists.

@SwordFighterPKN it's the same reason the manager of a Popeye's would probably tell you KFC sucks, and Popeye's is better.

@domm5715 yea it's pretty insane. It shows their insecurity, they desperately want to feel like they have all the answers, so they just blindly believe whatever the mainstream says so they can call anyone who asks questions a "conspiracy theorist."

@drewbydoobydoo2918 so you're just a thoroughly dishonest person. Glad we clarified that.

@ulfskinn1458 and it's not as simple as just discovering that one set of ruins is older than we thought, if it was just that, there probably wouldn't be as much gatekeeping. But if one set of ruins is older than we thought, that casts doubt on every other one, and it could start a ripple effect that completely turns archaeology and ancient history upside down. A lot of people's entire careers would lose a lot of credit, and they can't have that.
