Because many of them have staked their entire career to the established series of events. They can't just admit one thing was wrong, that would mean other things are also wrong, which would call their entire career into question.

@OutsiderLabs and they're also met with a great deal of pushback, and it often takes a long time before their theories are actually given the appropriate amount of investigation. Many of them are dead before their discoveries are proven correct.

@Johnreal332 people like to think they have the whole world figured out. It's really as simple as that.

@Steelmage99 so answer the questions. Pretty easy to expose their grift, if it really is a grift.

@tewks4458 ice age doesn't mean the entire planet was covered with ice all year long. There were still regions that were very livable, long term, just not as many of them or as vast.

@valerielhw but a significant part of it wasn't.

A lot of people are quick to dismiss Graham's theories, but there are definitely a lot of gaps and unanswered questions in the established timeline of human existence.

@IsomerSoma you know the best counter to a dishonest question? An honest answer. If you can't provide that, it either was not a dishonest question, or you don't have an honest answer.

@tewks4458 well you have to keep in mind that we don't discover every ancient society, for every ruin we discover, there's many others we either haven't discovered yet or maybe we never will. So if we agree that agricultural societies could have existed in the ice age, it would be even less likely to find them because there's likely fewer of them. Our knowledge of the ancient world only increases with the more we discover.

@MagisterMilitum-IV at least Hancock is offering explanations, that isn't a God of the gaps argument. He isn't saying God. Until you can prove his theories wrong, it's at least worth consideration.

@IsomerSoma I really don't understand this reasoning, if someone asks a dishonest question, then just give an honest answer. It's really not that complicated. It's pretty easy to expose their BS, if it really is BS. If you can't do that, then it's probably because you're the one that's full of shit.

@spicesmuggler2452 but not you, you have the whole world figured out, and it's exactly how mainstream science tells you it is. They could never be wrong, except for the countless times throughout history they were wrong. But not now. Now we have all the answers.

@spicesmuggler2452 aren't you the one believing in lightning strikes from God in this scenario? You're the one saying the status quo is correct, no need to investigate further, I'm the one saying hold on, this doesn't seem like the whole story, maybe we should investigate further. Stop me when I'm wrong.

@evbbjones7 nobody has given an adequate explanation for the water erosion on the Sphinx, at least not that I'm aware of.

@evbbjones7 so at the very least, what we previously thought about the topography of Egypt at the time the Sphinx was built was wrong. Maybe the time period it was built could have been wrong. This is what happens when people question the established orthodoxy, even if their hypothesis ends up being wrong, we can still learn new things.
1
@evbbjones7 because according to mainstream archaeology, the Sphinx was built during a period that Egypt was very dry and arid. Except it has water erosion that's consistent with very heavy rainfall, for long periods of time. So either Egypt wasn't as dry as we thought it was, or the Sphinx is older than we thought it was.
1
@evbbjones7 but why is that only evident in part of the Sphinx, and not the entire thing? It suggests that it was remodeled, and that the age of the structure itself is much older than the part of it that was remodeled.
