Another conspiracy theory, this one is being pushed on Netflix. [View all]

I've seen guys like this before, Immanuel Velikovsky was convinced of his cosmic pinball theory using Venus, although he never could find any actual evidence, and griped about "the evidence was being covered up."

Outside of the Hysteria Channel...I mean History Channel, Eric Von Daniken and his "ancient aliens" has been discredited and debunked completely.

With Netflix’s Ancient Apocalypse, Graham Hancock has declared war on archaeologists

Netflix’s enormously popular new show, Ancient Apocalypse, is an all out attack on archaeologists. As an archaeologist committed to public engagement who strongly believes in the relevance of studying ancient people, I feel a full-throated defense is necessary.

Author Graham Hancock is back, defending his well-trodden theory about an advanced global ice age civilisation, which he connects in Ancient Apocalypse to the legend of Atlantis. His argument, as laid out in this show and in several books, is that this advanced civilization was destroyed in a cataclysmic flood.
