Diary note: Although it may seem like a while away, the end of the world is still scheduled for 2030, with the exact date to be determined. After suggesting it once, 2012 may bring a nameless disasterevergreen doomsayer Graham Hancock has since updated his advice: Comet, now 6 years apart. Or something like that. email onlinehas unearthed ancient Hancock documents and reminds readers of his “''.A dire warning for our times”.
All that is certain is that a massive and terrifying catastrophe will occur as early as October 16th. This is the day Netflix launches the amazing, almost unbelievable thing that skeptics said could never happen: Series 2 of Hancock. ancient apocalypse. What's even stranger is that this horrifying event stars Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves alongside Hancock.
how? why? What can explain that? Why didn't the ancient warning carved in Göbekli Tepe foretell events that would overturn what many of his fans thought they once knew about Keanu Reeves? Even if he I saw a ghost once. In the chilling promotional clip, the star tells an older man: [dramatic pause] off. “
Oh, Keanu. This is pure speculation, of course, but it's hard to avoid the impression from this clip that he respects and even believes in Hancock's distinctive theory. After a comet (previously known as “Tectonic Earthquake”) completely destroyed a great Ice Age civilization, that civilization was a genius and the survivors, who somehow traveled around the world, bequeathed a lot of things. A huge monument probably featuring a comet warningbefore disappearing and leaving the locals to take all the credit, until Hancock intervenes.
Hancock is shown posing on a high outcrop and rehearsing his theme. It's a clue to a lost civilization and its existence, which he continues to find all over the store, especially in some of the worlds of Netflix in this series. The thunderous music emphasizes the solemnity of his final question. “Is the key to discovering Ice Age civilizations here in the Americas?”
Again, at this point we can only make key guesses at the conclusions Hancock will soon come to from his recent walk through enough ruins for others to excavate, but in 2019 It seems reasonable to expect some overlap with his writings. Before America: Keys to Earth's Lost Civilizations. Will Hancock thrill Reeves in perhaps the most surprising part? Before America: His suggestion (also shared on Joe Rogan's show) that ancient monuments were sometimes constructed by paranormal means? “My guess,” Hancock wrote. “I do not intend to prove or support it with evidence here, but simply present it for consideration, that the advanced civilizations that were evolving in North America during the Ice Age transcended leverage and mechanical advantage. , we learned, “manipulating matter and energy by deploying the powers of consciousness that we have not yet begun to tap into.'' ”
If Hancock's ITN producers are true to his latest research, viewers can expect to hear more about his lost civilization being adept at powers like telepathy. This may not impress “materialistic thinkers”. “But if telepathy is real, and its use and projection are to become sophisticated and reliable, then who needs cell phones, Facebook, or any of the other means of communication that are ubiquitous today? ” he wrote. We should be able to further develop Hancock's bold thought process. What if his entire Netflix series was sent telepathically into his head, thanks to an undreamt-of new system for collecting subscription fees?

Even with these wonders aside, it seems surprising enough that Netflix and ITN would once again give an influential platform to a writer who has long been classified as a purveyor. pseudoarchaeology. Indeed, the rise of anti-science discourse has helped normalize Hancock's bizarre claims to the extraordinary, even suppressed, if not his theories. – Insight. Contributing to this trend, the show's creators present him as a misunderstood prophet driven on a quest. His refusal to speculate, once considered quite adequate, is presented as a charm.
We took no chances in the first series. ancient apocalypse To denounce dissident archaeologists who disputed the existence of ancient Hankokia. “Perhaps there is a forgotten episode in human history, but perhaps the extremely arrogant and patronizing attitude of mainstream academia is preventing us from considering that possibility. ” he said in Program 1. On the same show, Hancock interviewed architect Professor Danny Hillman Natawidjaja, who said that the Gunung Padang ruins in Indonesia are an incredible 25,000 years old. It's literally incredible. professor's research paper retracted this year.
Inevitably, expert complaints about Hancock's performance will be used as evidence of Hancock's heroism, just as medical corrections will only reassure anti-vaxxers that their suspicions are well-founded. , there is a danger that it will serve as a sinister support for the regime's conspiracy. After the Society of American Archeology (SAA) wrote: Open letter to Netflixagainst the contempt of archaeologists. ancient apocalypsethe author defends himself against its classification as a “documentary” and its “injustice” to Indigenous peoples (the people for whom the Hancock Monument is claimed), formalizing Netflix's letter as follows: Quoted in. evidence of his persecution. “SAA's open letter is just one of the most recent examples of highly personalized vendettas currently underway.”
Regarding the SAA's citation of a lack of evidence, it says: “The fact that archaeologists have not found physical evidence that would convince us of the existence of a lost ice age civilization means that such a civilization never existed. “This is not convincing evidence that they did not.” I wrote. And the impending second series shows that Netflix and ITN fully support the warning that lies at the heart of Hancock's oeuvre: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
That's exactly right. There may be no evidence that Reeves was forced, perhaps by occult means, to participate in a project that, like his predecessors, is very likely to be condemned by the Society for American Archaeology.
That doesn't prove he wasn't.
