The debunking videos are going to be so educational though! I, for one, cant wait!
I do look forward to what Milo Rossi will have to say, I must admit.
Ive never heard of Ancient Apocalypse before, but this tells me everything I need to know to stay away from it:
In any case, we’re not nearer than in the first season to knowing what he means by civilization.
Unfortunately, it spent a long time on Netflix's top 10.
Well, that's just advertising space. I'm glad no one I know has mentioned it.
It's good entertainment. Don't short yourself, and just watch it (edit: critically) as a travel vlog.
Eh, I'd rather give my time (and view) to actual travel vlogs if that's what I want to watch. I don't need conspiracy theory overlayed on top.
As you like. Cheers, mate!
Same. I'm not putting you down or anything. Cheers!
Travel vlogs shouldn't be a combination of whining and lies.
I consider it debate practice, like verbal shadowboxing. He's throwing the punches, and I need to parry them. It's fun!
Then you get to compare notes with the debunking vireos and yell at those viewings about what they missed.
"The timeline is always being adjusted, through the work of archaeologists. To quote a now famous Hancockism, “stuff just keeps getting older.” Yes, and it’s archaeologists that you have to thank for that. Stuff keeps getting older because we keep looking for it, and because we keep analyzing it, in the plain light of day, not in somber academic conclaves where we decide what should and shouldn’t be revealed to the huddled masses, presumably living in fear of the next apocalypse."
Hancock is hijacking peoples attention and funding. The money that went into making this season would have been much better allocated to various archeological digs. That way, more actual work and analysis could be done as opposed to Hancock's tenuous theorizing. Archeology is always evolving, that doesn't mean big archeology is lying to you. It just means they are presenting the most logical evidence they have at the time, and when new (well documented and analyzed) information comes along that changes.
