Me either. Hancock is also a fantasist if I’m being polite

It's disgusting what a success his Netflix series is. The whole thing boils down to "archaeologists are wrong because I say so and you can't prove otherwise." Minuteman (an archaeologist) has a good series of debunking videos of the Netflix show on YouTube, which are worth watching if you have the time.
Hancock used to do the graveyard shift radio phone ins circuit in the uk. In the late 90s I think, when they couldn’t get hold of David Icke.
Total fraud. Ideal for Rogans audience.
Our good friend Potholer54 did a great video on Graham Hancock and his ancient apocalypse bullshit

It's a real injustice that it's pretty lucrative to peddle horseshit for a living.
Nah, peddling fiction's a good game. Trying to pass it off as reality's what's fucky.
Quite right, an important distinction.
I saw that one pop up in my feed, but I didn't recognize either name so I skipped it. But maybe I'll check it out now, I haven't listened to a full JRE in years.
