  1. 1: "Greetings. I wrote a book about a Sphinx and Pyramids on Mars." 2: "I have no evidence. Perchance some grainy NASA photos." 3: "My ideas are cool & interesting. Will that be cash or charge?"

  2.  @kklh7918  right on, bro. Graham wrote a book full of evidences about Atlantis being in Antarctica and being destroyed by Earth Crustal Displacement. but then he got more evidences and wrote a book about Atlantis being in North America and being destroyed by a Comet Apocalypse! i can't wait for his next book of more evidences!!

  3.  @easybeast6032  haha. cool, that would explain the various proposed locations for Atlantis: the Azores, Andalusia, Crete, Troy, Antarctica, Morocco, Richat Structure, Sahara, Doggerland, Ireland, Great Britain, North America, Sundaland, etc.! King of Atlantis: "Dudes, we just survived a Comet Apocalypse. Should we rebuild our Advanced Civilization? No way, bros. Let's just transfer our knowledge to all the nomadic simpletons on Earth. First, gather a shitload of shrooms. Then we'll split up. Some of you dudes go to Gobekli Tepe, some to Egypt, Malta, Gundang Poontang and Machu Picchu. and don't forget the Mexicans. but skip Stonehenge. those bros are White so they can figure the shit out on their own. Don't worry if it takes thousands of years to reach all those places. All those butt-sniffers will still be there when you get there."

  4. lol. Hancock is full of shit. comparing him to Carl Sagan is like comparing Ignatius Donnelly to Thomas Huxley.

  5. "F*ck Jared Diamond" by David Correia, published in "Capitalism Nature Socialism" -- 2013.

  6.  @billballinger5622  right on, bro. a Lost Advanced Global Shamanistic Psychic Civilization survived a Comet Apocalypse and went all around the world teaching all the butt-sniffing dirt people how to plant crops and build megalithic shit. and it only took them 11,000 years to get from Gobekli Tepe to Machu Picchu. it was cool...

  7. being "permanently stoned" for 24 years and making up fairy tales about Atlantis? is that The Scientific Method of which you speak?

  8.  @napoleonfeanor  what? it's a good critique. there's a plethora of them. James Blaut: Environmentalism and Eurocentrism. Living Anthropologically: How Jared Diamond Distorts History.

  9. his "theory" was borrowed from Ignatius Donnelly's book on Atlantis in 1882. it's been ridiculous for a long time.
    2
  10. lol. Hancock stole/borrowed/regurgitated the Colonial Imperialistic Victorian Era ideas of Ignatius Donnelly who started the Atlantis Craze in 1882. and then took ideas from many, many others including Catastrophism gone wild from Velikovsky who btw wrote a book called Mankind in Amnesia (1982). Hancock's favorite phrase? "Mankind is a species with amnesia." he took archeoastronomy from Santillana's Hamlet's Mill. "... of the Gods" and "No one knows how they were made..." from Von Daniken. the Bimini Road from Charles Berlitz. and Earth Crustal Displacement from Charles Hapgood. and Bauval and Schoch and Sitchin and on and on and on.... why? because he's interested in the Advancement of Scientific Knowledge? or maybe because getting high and writing books about Fairy Tales is a nice way to make a living?

  14. "Pyramids on Mars? You wrote a book about it? I assume in good faith, of course. That's so interesting. How delightful! Let's talk about it." lmfao.

  15. too bad that Hancock admitted to Joe Rogan that there is no evidence for a Lost Advanced Civilization.

  16. silence! my word is Law. "Atlantis is bullshit." i have spoken. so let it be written.

  17. ikr? all the sheep who swallow the dogma of Orthodox Academia are too dumb to know that they've been fooled by a sinister cabal of Elite Gatekeepers.

  18. being "permanently stoned" for 24 years and writing books about "Ancient Mysteries" is fine. people are free to believe or enjoy his fairy tales. the bad faith comes when he seeks to inflame his fanboys by incessantly playing the Victim Card, reveling in his Persecuted Martyr Complex, whining about Dogmatic Orthodox Academics who are seeking to silence him and are "Hiding the Truth of Humanity's Past" -- and exploiting the current Conspiracy Craze and Anti-Authority zeitgeist to further radicalize his followers. he may be breeding a small cult of Science Deniers but folks have always believed in fairies, goblins, succubi, Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle and whatnot. the March of Science will continue despite the Hancockians. in 100 years someone else will be writing about Atlantis and making money...

  19. right on, bro. he was also right about how the Pope destroyed the Templars to prevent them from obtaining the Ark of the Covenant. and about the Pyramids on Mars. and Atlantis being in Antarctica but was destroyed by Earth Crustal Displacement. btw: Gobekli Tepe proves nothing about a Lost Global Advanced Ice Age Civilization. and the Younger Dryass Impact Hypothesis was proposed by Rick Firestone in 2007 and is not widely accepted by "Scientists." nothing about it "vindicates" Hancock.

  20. why would you believe that to be true?
    1
  21. right on, bro. the natives themselves said that the White Gods taught them everything. it's not Graham's fault that the dirt people all had myths about the White Gods who brought them civilization.

  22. history is replete with charlatans as well. how many crackpots have searched for the Garden of Eden, Mu, Lemuria, Noah's Ark, Hyperborea, Shambhala, Shangri-La, Avalon, Aztlan, El Dorado, the Fountain of Youth and Wakanda? let me know when you find them. oh, and especially the Pyramids on Mars that Hancock has written about! i can't wait to see those.

  23. the Dibble Giggles! sure to stick in the craw of rabid Atlantards.

  24. academic? it depends on what area you're interested in. Dan Carlin. North 02. Thersites the Historian. Dan Davis. Invicta. Historia Civilis. World of Antiquity. Stefan Milo. Mark Felton. Kings and Generals.

  25. academics say it's a woke, revisionist deterministic oversimplification. GGAS: "Europeans dominated the world because of geography and luck." thus: race, culture, ideology or any other factors had nothing to do with Western Preeminence.

  26. he knows his audience. pandering to the conspiracy crowd is his business model.

  27. don't forget about the Pyramids on Mars. Hancock wrote a book about them. neato!
    1
  28. lol. Hancock didn't notice shit. he got all of his "ideas" from Ignatius Donnelly and other crackpots. these fairy tales have been around for a long time.

  29. goodbye.

  30. right on, bro. how dare he accuse Hancock of racism? a Lost Advanced Civilization taught all the shit people how to build stuff. nothing racist about that. there's no way the Gobekli Tepeans or Egyptians or Mayans or Gundang Poontangs could have constructed any of their wonders without the help of a Superior Culture. (a global Ice Age one that survived a Comet Apocalypse.) "Hey, Egyptians. Your ancestors didn't build the Pyramids. They just found them and moved in like squatters. Or somebody smarter transferred their knowledge to them. Either way, they didn't do it by themselves."

  31. yep. this guy is adorable. let's all bend over backwards to give "alternative theorists" the benefit of the doubt. always assume "Good Faith." surely their only motive is the Advancement of Scientific Knowledge!!!! let's appease and assuage the charlatans and play along and stroke that shaft, fluff those balls and have the common courtesy to give 'em a reach-around as we discretely plant seeds of doubt in their followers...
    1
  32. that's interesting. and adorable. but i forgive you. "it's not your fault."
    1
  33. perhaps Hancock should formulate a testable hypothesis, compile his evidence, write a paper and submit it for peer review? nah. it's better to do some Ayahuasca and whine about the Sinister Cabal of Dogmatic Gatekeeper Archeo-Thugs who are hellbent on silencing him and Hiding the Truth of Humanity's Past!

  34. and sometimes never were.

  35. lol.

  36. no. Graham is Fighting the Forces of Darkness. he is the Bringer of Light and Truth. he is The Word & The Way. your blasphemy shall not be forgiven...

  37. i can assure you, that after Surviving an Apocalypse, there's nothing more relaxing than teaching a bunch of primitive dirt people how to cut, carve and move giant blocks of stone. and it's much easier than recreating a Lost Global Advanced Seafaring Psychic Shamanistic Civilization (that was the size & scope of the 18th-century British Empire -- according to a certain G. Hancock).
