  1.  @thomasbell7033  much like Ayn Rand, Von Daniken is thrilling for the adolescent mind. Thankfully we grow out of it, and either find other intellectual thrills or buckle down to learn real economics or archaeology (which can also be more thrilling).

  2. The Arc of the Covenant was an Antlantean nuclear weapon, as proven in the documentary Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc. Edit: It strikes me that measuring an object of unknown origin will not prove what they are trying to prove at all. The measurements don’t make the provenance issue moot. The unknown provenance makes the measurement moot.

  4. When I told my colleagues that I was destined to be a great standup comedian, they all laughed at me. I worked to prove them wrong for decades. And now, finally, nobody is laughing. ~~Graham Hancock (in the universe where he made a different career choice).

  5. Another well known example is when wild animals drag their prey into caves. If the prey was humanoid, that could lead to speculation that the cave was used as a burial site, which suggests that the humanoids in question believed in an afterlife. This is one reason why archaeologists are so meticulous in gathering evidence before forming hypotheses. The presence of human remains isn’t enough, there must be other indications.

  6. I had a roommate that was sure that peanut shells were manufactured. They were made out of cardboard.

  8. “It was a nice day. I wanted to go for a bike ride. So I rented a tricycle. This got me thinking about chariots and how I am a proud member of the Master Race.” 😂 Is this guy for real? Did anyone notice his backing music? 🤣 I love how his Nazi followers have brigaded this video’s comments. This video hits them where it hurts, right in their cracks. I mean, right in the cracks of their theories.

  9.  @ellomirza  What do you mean by Black Africans? I don’t think that’s an identifier I’ve heard used to describe ancient Homo sapiens or any of the early humanoids. Your question is confusing because you’re asking something about a modern social classification as if it applied to early development or migration patterns. I’ll be frank. I don’t think you know enough about archaeology or biology to be able to ask a coherent intelligent question. I also think you’re not sincerely asking a question, but using a question to set up an assertion.

  13. What are Alt Ancient History people trying to hide? Why are they so defensive and protective of their Alt Ancient History orthodoxy? It’s quite simple: they have a stranglehold on TV shows that they don’t want to share with legitimate science based ancient history, archaeology, and genetics. And if they opened themselves up to the innovations and new discoveries of science-based research and empirical evidence, they might lose their grift . . , . I mean tabloid funding. If you want to tear down Big Pseudoscience’s veil, follow the money.

  14. Nope, it goes back much much further. On can point to the book “Chariots of the Gods” (1968), for example. But one of the original bullshit artists who mentioned Atlantis is cited in this very video: Plato, who wrote it in The Republic, approx. 375 BCE. Possibly it is older than that, as Plato claims his source material was from his teacher, the well known grifter and corrupter of youth Socrates.

  16. It’s the archaic script. Check out divination bones (and turtle shells) for more funky pictographic interest. These guys couldn’t wipe their bottoms without checking with the ancestors first.

  18. Just once I want a stone mason to tell an “Ancient Alien” theorist, “No, copper can’t cut granite. But my penis can. It’s harder than steel right now.”

  19.  @joycesweatman965  Sweatman is also one of the world’s top astrologists. He simply knows everything there is to know about zodiacs and horoscopes and anything else in the exciting field of astrological science.

  21. I happen to know Carl, Randal’s father. Not only is he dishonest, but his mental level is just above that of a rock. A brain damaged rock that has been hiding under another rock. Carl’s son, Randal, is equally dumb and dishonest.

  22.  @gregfoster1106  You’re mistaking incredulity for anger. But is anger really out of place? You’d be angry is someone handed you a stinking load of crap and told you it was shoe polish. Mostly, we’re all really tired of you conspiracy nuts of various flavors. If you clearly labeled your ideas as speculative fiction, no one would have a problem.

  23.  @AZ-697  Genetics stands on the shoulders of Darwin. How do you reconcile the work of Newton with Special Relativity? With quantum mechanics? (Newton believed in Alchemy by the way.)

  26.  @mattm8870  They hired the dude precisely because he could give them more profitable garbage. And it was probably a perk negotiated by Hancock to keep his son employed, because any dunce can make garbage documentaries. It takes no special skills, nothing you couldn’t pick up in a week. They were going to have to hire someone to do it, might as well be the idiot’s son. So it isn’t the son getting his dad’s tripe on cable or streamers. It’s the dad shifting some of his ill gotten gains to his son in the form of salary.

  41.  @jeremiahh.3383  I realize that you didn’t pass 6th grade, but when we say taught in schools, we mean introductory university courses. It might or might not be in high school textbooks. Those are a lot slower to update.

  42.  @SWOTHDRA  “The technologically advanced Los Civilization never ever traveled above current sea level, let alone created permanent structures.” Gee, that sounds highly believable. There are potential early sites that would document early migrations that are currently submerged. But a technologically advanced civilization wouldn’t just disappear beneath the waves.

  44. What would prevent Netflix from broadcasting garbage? It’s their platform. Sensational trash is popular and profitable. AFAIK, Netflix makes no claims about the veracity of their programs. If you somehow got a Netflix executive to answer why they are purveyors of pseudoscientific crap, they would probably say they are providing entertainment, not scholarship.

  46. I took intro to archaeology for college credit during summer school. It was between my Junior and Senior year in high school and I jumped at the chance to spend the summer in Cambridge, Mass, far away from my parents. We had two field trips. One was to the Peabody Museum to see the terra cotta warriors from Xian. The other was to see Raiders of the Lost Arc. 😂 The prof had an open mind and we spent the next lecture discussing the movie. I don’t remember if it was on the final exam.

  49.  @MotoGiant  There was a time when we speculated about conspiracy theories because it was fun. We didn’t take it too seriously (although there were some people that did and spent years of work trying to gather evidence for their theories). Cryptozoology was fun. You know, the Loch Ness monster and Sasquatch and all that. And if you went backpacking in the Pacific Northwest, the legend of Big Foot created a certain spice to the adventure. There’s an author who wrote novels about conspiracy theories, Robert Anton Wilson. He wrote the Illuminati Trilogy, which is vastly entertaining. He was once asked if he really believed in conspiracies and he said it wasn’t a matter of belief, but of probabilities. I think this guided me. There was a tiny probability that the Loch Ness Monster was real or that we were being visited by extraterrestrials, but the overwhelming evidence indicated that probably Nessie didn't exist and there were no aliens. I accepted mainstream science, but it was fun to consider the long shot. Anyway, "alternative science" was an entertainment for most of us. Blaming the CIA was kind of a joke more than a real suspicion. There's also an interesting (and ambiguous) novel by Umberto Eco, named Foucault's Pendulum. It's worth read if you've got time. It's more about the mindset of serious conspiracy theorists, and not a defense of them.

  50. ⁠ @russellmillar7132  I moved to Mexico, which is not an undeveloped country (despite what some people think). But there is a lot of poverty and poor people know how to improvise and make do. Sometimes they’ve developed different tricks for making do that are ingenious and get passed on to succeeding generations. But sometimes stuff I see is scary and dangerous. Electrical work. Improper securing of loads on pick up trucks. People are used to doing things for themselves, but they don’t always have the knowledge or understanding of what it is they’re trying to do. I think one of my favorite things is the “shade tree mechanic” that doesn’t have a workshop but works under the shade of a tree on the side of the road. I had a friend that worked in an Autobody shop, and when the maestro retired, the workshop building was sold. So my friend moved his own equipment into my stairwell (I live on a second floor, but I’ve got my own first floor entrance), and for the last 8 or 9 years, he works on the street in front of my building, and keeps his tools, paint and other materials inside my front door, to the side of the stairs. He’s offered to pay rent, but I told him to just pay the electrical bill, because he uses it to run his compressor. The other benefits are that he’s an extra layer of security, and he’s usually there to receive packages if I’m not home. I know someone has my back. During the pandemicm he’d send his assistant out if I needed an errand. Anyway, I’m rambling. Why did I bring up Luis? Oh, yeah. The dude is a master craftsman of Bondo. And I’ve seen him teach his skills to his cousin, who works as his assistant. There’s a lot of cases when he orders replacement panels to for damaged cars, but when he knows his client can’t afford new parts, he gives them an equal result with Bondo. When it’s all painted, you can’t tell the difference.
