@@davef00te If you presuppose that there was a great advanced civilisation, this talk would seem convincing to a regular person who has never spent much thought on the subject. That's not how science works, you dont presuppose the answer 12 steps down the road. He isnt letting the asteroid lead him to atlantis he is trying to connect Atlantis to the asteroid. Even if you dont beleive this, you cant deny in the very least it looks like this. Any thing he said about the meteor/asteroid is fine. I think its healthy that scientists research this and understand why there are those that doubt it. But he does sneaky things throughout. He frames it as if there was almost a cover up to the Alvarez hypothosis. What happened was, Alvarez had a theory. This theory did not have enough evidence or crater to support it to be unanimously supported by wider science community. Some scientists had vehemet oppositions to this theory based on their evidence. The crater was discovered and so the theory picked up more traction as a plausible theory and is more widely supported in the scientific community. Sounds pretty much how any scientific discovery occurs. this is not the impression Hancock gives. He uses language to evoke a sense of a conspiracy. Instead of saying that scientists were not convinced of the evidence prior to the craters discovery he says they "refused to accept the evidence". now it almost sounds the same except that the later evokes a sense of denial. He doesnt say that Alvarez proved his theory but rather "revealed the truth". The second sentance makes it sound like his discovery was a self evident fact only held back by something nefarious. he also states that the Asteroid impact "turned Shrews into Humans and Dinosaurs into Chickens" and beleives this statement is satisfactory because of the weak disclaimer "At risk of oversimplification". Its not and oversimplication, its a purposeful emotive description to put the idea into the audience that asteroids that something mighty might have come before the asteroid he will later describe. he is trying to make the mental for the audience between mighty dinosaurs and advanced civilistaions. Its very clever the way he tries to position himself to place where he is implying that if an ancient advanced civ existed it had to be wiped out by asteroid, therefore if this impact exists, civilisation is real. Its a cool idea but its not based on any evidence. The best he can do is claim that Atlantis is real because of a singular story by Plato who was told this sory by his grandfather, who was told by Solon (300 years before Plato apparently) who was told by a preist, who said it was inscribd on a temple that was 9000 years old. This one story he is trying to connect to this asteroid. if that doesnt feel like a huuuugggeee stretch, you will not be able to doscern between what seems ture or plausible and what you want to be true.

Should probably remove the disclaimer now that NASA and National Geographic have located the 12 mile wide impact crater, that's 12,000 years old in Greenland. The likely source of the impact proxies he's speaking of.

There's a sucker born every minute" was a saying in the 19th century about P.T Barnum being able to trick people into believing in nonsense.....and the ability continues into the internet age. The “alternative history” videos on KZread by Graham Hancock, Brien Foerster, UnchartedX and others like them are the proof. 1. The "q" cult people got scammed using the internet because they had faith in what they were being told. 2. Mega-churches and televangelists scam people out of their money using their faith as the main tool. 3. Politicians lie and scam the public over and over and over...and yet they keep getting voted back into office. 4. In the movie The Wizard of Oz, the traveling elixir salesman that Dorothy meets just before the tornado hits her house becomes the wizard in her dream, scamming the people of Oz to maintain his power over them. 5. Back in the mid to late 1800s, scammers were selling fake medicinal elixirs to inexperienced people. There is one of them portrayed in the movie The Outlaw Josey Wales. 6. Fake Indian call centers scam inexperienced people on the phone every day. 7. Scammers from Nigeria scam old people using phone calls also. >>>>The world is full of scammers…and inexperienced people getting scammed by them. My advice: Get yourself a passport, travel to see the sites in person...and watch what actual educated scholars have to say about ancient history and ancient sites such as in Egypt. If you still have an open mind and the intellectual courage & curiosity to challenge yourself and what you think you already know...you might surprise yourself by listening to them. Most of you guys who fall for the "mystery mongers" on KZread are simply more interested in the feeling of excitement you get out of believing in the "unsolved mysteries" and "lost civilizations" you are told about. You can't bring yourselves to watch anything that might spoil the fun...and so you will look away or attack me. However, for those who actually want to know more and still have your ability to open your mind intact...on my own KZread page is an ongoing list of lectures on ancient Egypt... right now it's at 117 lectures...weeks worth of listening, learning and watching....and each one delivered by educated scholars who have actually studied Egypt's history in universities for many years...which is more than I can say for the people like Graham who survive financially off of inexperienced people who buy their books...most of whom don't even own a passport. >Believers in Santa Claus have faith in the words of their parents. >Those who follow the Abrahamic religions have faith in ancient texts. >Mormons have faith in the written words of an American scam artist, Joseph Smith. >Scientologists have faith in the written words of L.

Science is simply a method of discovery that uses peer reviewed experiments and evidence to examine theories and determine truths. When new experiments produce new found truths, science moves to support those new truths. That’s all science really does. I rely on the method of science, because I am a rational human being.

​@@CARPB147 Today, there are two basic ways to come to "believe" in things. One is by being rational and the other is by acting simply on faith in someone. >Being rational means examining the available evidence about the subject and listening to the educated professionals in the specific field of study who have examined it in detail and who have conducted experiments on it. Theories are usually presented first by writing a paper explaining their theory and the specific experiments they used to make it. Once the paper has been presented, their peers examine it and replicate the experiments which were used. New experiments are conducted and sometimes people disagree about issues for long periods of time. However, if a theory does survive everyone’s scrutiny, it eventually moves forward and is accepted by more and more of the rational people in that society. This process is called science. This is how Einstein's theory of relativity was presented…and how it survives yet today. >Acting on faith requires no real evidence, only the belief in one person’s idea or the beliefs and ideas of a small group of people, who are making a specific claim. Their claims can’t stand up to their peer's scrutiny or experiments, but it doesn't matter to those of faith who still believe and defend them.....because that IS the essence of what faith is. Like the opinions spoken by the ancient oracles, the words they are speaking are seen as being unquestionably true by the faithful. Again, that’s how faith works.

Wilder still how you take a format which has remained consistent across his output INCLUDING the Atlantis containing Dialogues and assume that it could not possibly be just another philosophical work. Pro tip - Herodotus was a contemporary of Plato. Why would Plato have written about Atlantis as a REAL historical place while maintaining the exact same philosophical dialogue format of this earlier works when he already had a format from Herodotus to write about a separate subject matter to philosophy? The answer is simply that he didn't. Atlantis is 1 part fabrication, 1 part Greek legend/myth, and 1 part philosophical parable rolled into one and transmitted through the medium of a dialogue to obscure his hand in sparking any debate from it. Atlantis is a utopian ideal created by Plato to make a point to the Athenian elite - the perfect place for Socrates to have lived and practiced undisturbed by judgement. The Athenian army discussed in the story is basically the representation of that Athenian elite of Plato's era. This army attacks the Atlanteans and BEATS them - only for the gods to turn around and destroy them both. This is Plato outlining the trial of Socrates and his being forced to die by poison - the gods judgement is Plato trying to make the Athenian elite see that their hubris and decadence will come back to bite them.

Did you just accuse me of being "worked up" to pre-empt any accusation of you of being just that? Sure, ignore Hancock's ignoble track record. I'm not going to re-watch this video to dig up specifics, but he speaks of a cataclysmic extinction event some 10,000 years ago, doesn't he? And as I recall he doesn't present it as his hypothesis, but rather he presents it as fact. Not only is he in error for doing so, but there really is no evidence which points to an extinction event the way he presents it. Extinction events simply do not take place the way he claims. Even sudden extinction events take several thousand years. The Jurassic extinction event was sudden because it "only" lasted 10,000 years. Why, we are currently in an extinction event right now. What Hancock mistakes for a cataclysm is the simple fact that the glaciers - which started melting some 10,000 years ago - have wreaked havoc with the archaeological record _prior_ to that point in time. But if there were some grand civilization way back when, we would still expect to see the signs of their construction - and also their pollution. But ever wishing to present fantasy as fact, Hancock instead accuses the mainstream scholars of dishonesty.

Perhaps you make the mistake of thinking "advanced civilization" must mean technological advancement to our current level with airplanes and stuff... All Hancock posited was there is evidence for civilization on par with Sumerian or Egyptian tech some 4-5000 years before they're supposed to be there. This shouldn't be so hard to wrap your head around, especially with the unearthing of Gopleki Tepi.

Your second sentence implies that Hancock is somehow "open minded and a seeker after knowledge" but if that was true he'd take a little time out of his globe-hopping and tropical scuba-adventures to return to college and actually learn something about the subjects he preaches on... I find it remarkable that the flaws of ignorance, foolishness and arrogance that are so often pointed out by Hancock and his sycophants when whining about mainstream researchers and Academia are precisely the attributes Hancock displays every-time he opens his mouth. Shame on you for putting financial gain above the pursuit of knowledge, Graham Hancock.

THere is a strange wall in New Zealand that may or may not be a natural rock formation. If it is natural, that's fine but it is straight and vertical so it looks, superficially at least, like a megalithic wall. The problem is that the government has forbidden any excavations at the site. If it DID turn out to be a massive wall constructed of polygonal blocks as found at other megalithic sites around the world, it would push back human occupation of the New Zealand archipelago to thousands of years prior to the arrival of the Maori people who are supposed to be the first modern humans to live on that land mass. Can't have anything upsetting the time line now, can we?

This man is a treasure to humanity, it breaks my heart how cruel the academic community treats him. We owe it to ourselves as a species to always ask questions, embrace being open to being wrong like we once did with a universal Earth centric orbit, and to welcome any knowledge about where we came from. The Yunger Dryas impact is in the great lakes and the icebergs it ejected in a circle from the Carolinas to Utah created thousands of secondary craters. It 100% happened. The lesson should be that a globalized civilization was lost and it could happen again. We should embrace with open arms discovery and exploration into this lost historical civilization for it is part of the story of us as a species. They seemed like truly incredible people.

This excellent, smart and intellectual human being has been voicing this for years. It must be such a extraordinary feeling for him to see the evidence recently about a crater in Greenland.

It was rejected by the Church because it was inconsistent with their views that the Earth is the centre of the universe. The Church utterly rejected anything based on actual measurements because they considered the Earth to be a fallen realm and that therefore any earthly measurements wre meaningless. There is no parallel between Galileo and modern-day crackpots like this guy and his speculations.

"..we are obliged to contemplate the possibility that everything we have been taught.." Thank you Graham Hancock...

It's things like the "Note from TED" that prove Graham absolutely right when he criticizes the established mainstream narrative. They passive aggressively try to antagonize Graham to have the appearance of conformity and by extension, validation and dignity as per "modern scholarship." Right, because education is regurgitation of information with a lack of fundamental understanding of the ideas represented.

Graham has a really good argument about this subject. Most of all, it would explain the extinction of all of the North American mega fauna, the disappearance of the Clovis culture, the extinction of Flores Man, and many sunken cities around the world. It also would explain the 'Great Flood' stories from cultures around the world. The lack of archaeological sites would easily be explained by the sea level rise of the 2nd melting event, since most human cultures settle along waterways. When you get down to it, it just makes sense. At least 4 species of humans have had somewhat significant populations around the world for at least 25 thousand years, on every continent. After about 10 thousand years, natural forces would erase almost any trace of a civilization. Why is it so hard to believe that humans had to start over a few times?

Many of his arguments pertaining to the younger dryas impact hypothesis and its implications are based almost solely on available scientific evidence. Also, his arguments pretaining to ancient maps and sea levels are very valid, study some of the ancient maps yourself and I imagine you would come to similar conclusions. If not, explain how certain sites and islands that have been underwater for tens of thousands of years, are depicted above water on ancient maps? A certain level of advanced knowledge and the ability to traverse vast oceans and is required to perform accurate cartography. How were the ancient cartographers able to use incorporate accurate longitude into ancient maps , long before the 1800s when we were first able to measure accurate longitude? The maps speak for themselves and the implications they pose are yet to be explained scholarly. - I too, do not agree with everything Mr Hancock claims, but he is certainly asking the right questions and following a noble line of inquiry. Are we just supposed to exist in an echo chamber of agreement and not question anything that the archeologists tasked with interpreting our mysterious ancient past present to us as fact? Considering the all the megalithic sites that display precise stone cutting methods and astrological alignments, along with a myriad of other advanced and unusual feats, Is it really that preposterous to insinuate that an advanced civilisation may have existed at some point in time?

I asked many questions, you Weren’t able to answer any. Just say you don’t know if you don’t know, theirs no shame.

That sounds more plausible than a catastrophe that knocked us back to the stone age while the catastrophe and sea levels raising 100+ feet wiped out most signs of previous civilizatios.. Yeah. Humanity totally wasted 140,000yrs. I buy that.

Water levels are much higher now than in pre-flood times so evidence of an earlier advanced civilization may well be off the coasts under water.

Personally I find the latest finding intriguing but lets calm down a moment and not put a date on it just yet as we simply do not know at this point.

TED, you seriously screwed up. First, it is standard practice of "modern scholarship" to treat all involved with respect and dignity. In the video and comments above you have violated that for both the presenter and us, his audience. Plastering a warning to us across the presenter's face is an incredibly demeaning thing to do to someone who sharing his ideas and research. You also infantilize the audience, telling us what to think, or not rather not think, about the presenter's scholarship. I do not recognize you as an authority to tell me what "represents modern scholarship of ancient civilizations." And speaking of schooling us on scholarship, it's pretty hilarious (and quite unscholarly) that in the same sentence you claim the talk "contains outdated and counterfactual assertions" and offer no further details or supporting evidence to that assertion. This is a forum of ideas after all; or is that in fact a farce and we and your presenters are to kneel and kiss TED's ring?

The data is irrefutable. Why is it that the sphinx and the pyramids date to older than egypt? Why do the Egyptian pyramids architecture gradually get worse over time instead of better? There are no signs of the great pyramids being used as tombs as egyptology states. Never was a body or sarcophagus discovered in them or any artwork that normally accompanies pharaoh tombs.

I largely agree with him on all of this, I think there was a part towards the end that seemed a stretch... but the narrow premise the civilisation only started so recently, never really rang true to me.
