Of course Lex has put aside any commitment with truth and scientific rigor in name of commercial gains
How did they create such precise maps? They didnt have airplanes?
The more I study history, the more I realize that there is only one narrative that we are forced to believe. I really appreciate Graham Hancock's doggedness to search for the truth and to be open to think outside the box. Good going Graham!
Absolutely. Of course they didn't have everything we have but it doesn't make them less advanced as they possessed tech we have no clue how they were made, what they were used for and most of today's esoteric concepts are based on centuries old manuscripts. I also don't like the fact they we are forced to believe we are are the top of everything when we can't explain everything and still fail at everything (economy, tech, humanity, life in general, empathy well all the stuff an evolve species would have mastered) so no in the past they weren't greater but no as stupid as we depict them (on top of that seeing what we have done to our society lately)
I'm not sure if it's important to his intriguing ideas of ancient civilizations, but my understanding is that Portolano maps did not have lines of longitude. They had compass rose lines to help chart a course
i don't think he made the argument that they have Longitude Lines, just that the relative longitude is pretty accurate, meaning that, without our modern concept of longitude, they could determine pretty well where things were relative to the same longitude, despite the shape of the continent.
..How did they create such precise maps? They didnt have airplanes?..
anytime the entire mainstream comes out to attack one persons character(call them racist, nazi, ect.) I just immediately give them the benefit of doubt and assume they’re clearly onto something or these ppl wouldn’t act this way. If he was just making shit up they would have no reason to try to destroy his life.
"any time the mentally disabled guy in my class said something that everybody said was stupid, I knew he was on to something and followed in his footsteps"
@@dingo9696failed comparison. People in mainstream have been caught in lies trying to discredit Gram. Now if you're teacher and all your classmates started to make stuff up and then call your classmate stupid fir not knowing the sky was orange in the 1800's then it's a more apt comparison.
@@zeusdarkgod7727 shocking that the guy who doesn’t know when to use “your” or “you’re” identifies with the mentally disabled person.
@@dingo9696 yes you are teacher, opposed to quick hand auto correct, brilliant reasoning skills you have there.
Still holds no bearing on my original point, way to give a perfect example of an ad hominem circumstantial.
@ autocorrect doesn’t select the wrong spelling of “your” dummy. That was your brain.
Why do people hate on this guy’s theories so much? If you don’t agree that’s perfectly fine no need to flame the dude lol.
It doesn't fit theirr indoctrination and/or the timeline they have in mind. The idea of a global flood also puts people off. Despite the possibility of everyone getting wrecked from one rock from space being within the realm of possibility, they can't fathom dozens of icey rock clusters just melting more ice globally while they explode in the sky. Nope, inconceivable!
It's extremely anti intellectual and promotes idiotic thinking.
Your an idiot
@@CeeLow53that’s not a good reason.
@@CeeLow53No it's not. We know nothing of our past.
We still don’t even know how the pyramids were built but people want to discredit GH for his theories
But we know how
@@martinondrus6344 *Well then provide some evidence how the egyptans moved 70 ton granite blocks in the King's Chamber (Khufu pyramid) up and cut them so PERFECTLY that they fit with 0 room in between, with evidence meaning no dull theory, show a reconstruction of the process, because everybody can TALK but all those Graham haters CAN NOT DELIVER*
@@martinondrus6344no we don't. Can't explain the water erosion either
@@martinondrus6344can't even explain how the block were moved to location
@@Antonio-vn5xc can, just search the info. Whats even more proof that people recreated it with technology of that day
Lex, your guests are intriguing professionals in their fields who know how to hold an interview, very impressive, and thank you for your work. The description section is also worth mentioning, as it's complete, organized, and very clearly presented. Notifications are on! ✨
And then there is Graham
Great information , thank you.
if I could go back to any point in history for a few hours I would appear in the library of Alexanderia and try to steal/photocopy as much as possible to bring back LOL😂
Not sure what you think they had there
@@martinondrus6344 Who knows, don't be so ignorant
@@stefanvasov3843 we know what wasnt there, dont be stupid
Most of it is at the Vatican vaults .
@@dustyhedger380 thats a myth. Everyone knows that vatican vaults are full of child pornography
No matter what you think of his theories, its somewhat ironic that a field of science that is highly speculative and is largerly based on assumtions (we cant carbon date stone) is criticising someone for being speculative...
Nothing screams "We are right and you are wrong" than insults and slanderous claims.
I haven't seen a single comment in here from someone against GH that isn't just straight up insulting or discrediting him.
All these clowns in here are calling him a charalatan clown, yet they can't even explain what he's wrong about or how. They just say "He's a grifter, he's a moron, he's a liar, he believes in aliens".
Way to live up to the open minded curiosity that science supposedly instills in humanity.
Just because someone is wrong about something doesn’t mean they are wrong about everything (the opposite is also true), keep that in mind.
Exactly, why they dont go all together, check at least one of the unexplained sites to its full potential and research the " how when and why " . Its like - whole Americas for some reason have the same need in watching the skies for Venus, yet they were never supposed to meet - sit down, explain why and what is more likely. Nah they will just argue
Perhaps the Antikythera mechanism was ancient even 2000 years ago and the Greeks found it. That would suggest similar machines would have been able to figure out the position problem.
Their technology was so advanced it left no traces but stones... 😮
Just like wooden buildings, weaving, etc. Anything not made of stone/ceramics is probably well and truly gone (even metal usually corrodes).
If the advanced technology was made of perishable materials then we'll never know what it was
I think of the hyborian aged from conan world and it took placed before and after the ice age
Civilizations so advanced, that didn't left any evidence of their existence.
You think there's gonna be any evidence left of our civilization in 12000 years??
I mean, the mariner's astrolabe was invented immediately afterwards, maybe there was some similar device that preceded it by about a century and was used to make those maps. The timing of these maps appearing (right before the Age of Discovery) and the terribleness of basically every map preceding them suggests very strongly to me that there isn't some kind of ancient source.
A 34,000 year old star map / aruignacian calendar was discovered in France/Germany
More people need to wake up .
He makes the comment they had 18th century technology for mapping the world but didn’t believe they had other 28th century technology like steam trains. However, if they did have steam power, it would explain how they cut huge blocks of stone, transport them and lift them, all powered by steam. Explains everything. Doesn’t mean they had steam powered spacecraft. Just saying.
I've heard the Greeks had a sort of steam engine
This is tough
Downey jr can play Hancock with his j strauss looks
I don't wanna hear any more from Lex Fridman about he's such a freethinker and a bona fide intellectual.
Awesome.
'Advanced Civilisation' is a noun phrase Graham, not a word. Not knocking, trying to help in my small way.
Our greatest minds have always develed in mysterious studies. The comments show why they develed in secret.
Spectrum of human consciousness being illuminated at this time in history....and definitely in this thread of comments
from the thumbnail i'll hazard frostpunk tech. can i get a hell yeah?
Nice
Here he said he believes some of the source maps came from the libeary of alexandria, on Rogans podcast he says the map makers wrote on the maps and stated that some of the source maps came from the library of alexandria
Interview was done at different times could have been said in light of new evidence
@@bonzaibill9965what is that new evidence
Spectrum of human consciousness is evident in the comments...many lost in their tiny materialistic consumerism paradigms🙏thoughts and prayers
00:00 I know the answer he is gonna say he don't know/he is not sure
Google him on Joe Rogan and his theories on Pyramids and how they were built VERY INTERESTING ! ! !
What technology did they have? we don’t know because there is no trace of the civilisation he’s proposing
(I keep getting replies from Hancock fans.
Hancock CLAIMS there is no trace because of younger dryas. Please stop talking to me I’ve read fingerprints of the gods, you won’t make the case better than Hancock, Especially in a comments section where we can’t post links.)
Hilarious reply 😂
He just outlined two traces. The maps and the structures built on Giza plateau.
@@bfam6066maps made after the ice age that are inaccurate and pyramids made after the ice age by the Egyptians.
Not “traces of an ice age civilisation
@@grayhamgrayhamson1466If you did a bit of research on this topic you'd realise you are wrong but that is obviously too much work for you so it's alot easier to sit down and complain that his wrong 😂😂😂
@@Jacob.haynesits no enough evidence to back up his claim
Snowmobiles ?
The reason they could draw maps accurately is because they had transportation to space and would draw from space.
no ice age ... no younger drias, older drias or any drias for that matter :)>
Graham is sweet as a nut.
Sending love from London 🇬🇧
Not good enough technology to survive the ice age lmao
I want answers, the truth. So badly. ❤ Possibilities. .... I believe life exists beyond earth. ... We exist dont we !!! We do. ... So.... Imagiine the possibilities
Awww!pre flood advanced technology. Able to build huge cargo planes to save the people
I noticed that Hancock has become very careful with the things he is claiming, finishing most sentences with a caveat. Good. He excited gullible people long enough and made enough money with his speculative nonsense.
It's because people who disagree with him take is claims out of context. I'm confident you've probably done the same
@@revan8914 that is the silliest defence imaginable. And of course you are confident this is what’s going on here. Check out Dunning-Kruger effect and find yourself on the curve.
He's still an, "aliens built the pyramids," clown. He just doesn't say it anymore.
@@RickMcQuay You couldn't be more wrong, and you are showing you've never actually read anything of Graham's work; ever since his first book on the subject in 1995 "Fingerprints of the Gods" he refuted ancient Alien claims, specifically going after Zachariah Sitchens claims about the annunaki, there's a whole chapter where he makes it clear he does not support ancient aliens theory. He makes it very clear he believes these structures were made by humans. You slanderers who erect these straw man arguments are worse than he is.
@@RickMcQuayhe never once theorized that aliens were involved in ancient civilizations but pls keep lying lmao
First
People will believe in a lot of garbage if said with confidence.
Look up coral castle!!! And the hutchenson effect!
Why?
I will, sounds interesting and on point ✨
GH is like watching a bad 1970s movie or TV show. The fictional versions that were entertainment never took themselves seriously. GH relies on people who have no understanding of research methodology or basic scientific methodology.
Referencing fraudulent maps or distorting older maps include Antarctica that they don’t depict is not an answer.
Hey just answer the question who cares about semantics
The herd of sheep here with such closed minds is appalling. Science and the understanding of the past changes over time when you have more information.
yet Graham bring nothing to this conversation for years now...
@@Aiolosz He is very open with stating that he is open to new discoveries n evidence n is willing to change his mind. Also he gathers n gives information with the hope that others will be able to prove or disprove his theories, like a good scientist n intelligent person would. Why hate?
@@sunsoza8320 yeah sure... When somebody brings solid info he automatically cries "big archeology" and ignores them. If he is what you say he is then the story would have changed significantly over the years aaaaand he would not attack the "establishment" just bc they ask for solid evidence.
@@Aioloszhe attacks them because they call him racist, nazi, and lie about and to him.
I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for refusing to excavate a site for 100 years, and planting trees on said site. There is also no excuse for not allowing GPR on certain sites.
There is no reason not to allow someone that brings new evidence a seat at the table to discuss said evidence.
Archeology by it's nature is a speculative soft science, but attack a journalist for presenting speculative ideas postulated by other Archeologist.
@zeusdarkgod7727 not archeologist called him racist but go on with that lie from him... GT was not the property of "big archeology" you might realize that it is the property of Turkey.
Archeology is speculative and if you would follow it just a little they don't really use absolutes and they change whenever they dig out something. Graham only changed where the advanced civilization is from and maybe a few minor details.
Lex can’t decide if he wants to enlighten his audience or make them dumber, so he keeps doing both 😂
The lure of money. The conspiracy crowd is a big market, bigger than those who value knowledge and scientific rigor.
Information from all sides uncovers the all truth
@@RickMcQuay I agree. They are also usually easier to make money on and that's something I don't like.
@@daviddoran1682 right, let’s hear from both sides, the fake side and the real side, the dumb and the intelligent, and let’s pretend that there’s no difference between them.
@@diogodenczuk2192 well they should all be criticised as appropriate. Not given credence to ridiculous claims.
This makes me feel sad, Lex. You are a scientist. Hancock is on the Grift. He might be a nice guy, tell nice stories, have a nice family and live in a nice house but he's not much more than a Von Daniken remix.
I bet you could get 1000s of real life, actual science experts that have spent their lifetimes uncovering Earth's mysteries on instead of some fantastical Englishman selling ancient aliens.
Hello fellow appreciator of evidence. Lex left us a while ago
If he speaks truth or not, people who dismiss everything that differs from your “evidence” think about the time when the world was believed to be flat. Everyone who said otherwise was crazy and put to death. Until they found out, their evidence was wrong. Science means to be open for new perspectives. If you hate hearing new theories, and if you’re not open to new ways to look at existing information. You’re close minded. Lex is not. Stop being close minded.
Yeah . Did you notice graham has bought bots to fill his comment sections with anti flint pro graham comments. Just look at ther profiles. I always liked to listen to graham but now I see all he cares about is selling books not actual science or discovery.
*Well then provide some evidence how the egyptans moved 70 ton granite blocks in the King's Chamber (Khufu pyramid) up and cut them so PERFECTLY that they fit with 0 room in between, with evidence meaning no dull theory, show a reconstruction of the process, because everybody can TALK but all those Graham haters CAN NOT DELIVER*
A wooden stick
I wonder if you could build a city using ice as the building material 🤔 makes sense it would have melted away leaving little evidence.
Bro nooooo
The pyramids were built by moving tons of huge stones with sound waves. Aliens helped build them, also the bigfoots walked through atlantis. -Gram handcock
What a cuck theory
Prove it literally prove it
Said none of those things lmfao
@@rayleonard1839 lol, a graham fan asking for proof.....That's ironic.
Looks like a Kamala voter to me!
Cant listen to this grifter anymore
Im trying to watch the second ancient apocalypse but hes just speaking toouch nonsense
. . .
Graham is doint ALL the podcasts trying to reverse the damage a guy named FLINT DIBBLE did to him on YRE. He got completely embarassed with all of his nonsense and lack of knowladge
Speaking of a lack of “knowladge” 🤦♂️
Flint did awful in that debate lmfao
I think it’s good to want to talk to anyone (your credo), but… like… come on. Don’t you think this is silly? Doesn’t your scientific mind object to the probability of no hard material objects surviving from a civilization that had stone and metal, when we’ve found plenty of stone tools from earlier ancestors?
You are not smarter than them
I’m not sure I’m understanding what you’re saying but when did graham say anything about advanced tools or technology he said they might’ve been advanced in different ways such as their understanding of the stars sea faring navigation and their ability to calculate longitude and latitude. The evidence he’s talking about are the maps and is making a hypothesis, what is wrong with that? That is mainly what traditional archeology is anyways.
I'm curious, what do you think we SHOULD see? And where exactly?
Explain megalithic architecture then.🤔
Your talking about 10,000 plus more years of time. As well as the fact our coastal areas aren’t at the places they once were. It’s a fascinating subject and this guy has dedicated his life to it. He’s more right than wrong I think
I mean sounds dope...but unfortunately I'm out.
this pod is slowly becoming a joke
Younger dryas is a theory not a mystery… it is not a proven fact, it is simply a theory & hypothesis that people like graham believe in that has not actually been scientifically confirmed nor proven so he really speaks in a manner as if it is already a proven fact world wide but it indeed is not & up until now it is simply a theory & I love graham regardless of all the hate he gets & especially since flint dibble buried him on joe Rogan which he absolutely was not ready for such a debate with such a archeologist lol but I still love graham he just needs to stop speaking so confidently about his theories because it doesn’t help him at all
Congrats to Lex for keeping a straight face during this. We know there was no younger Dryas was not an impact. The overwhelming consensus is that ice water melt affected the northern hemisphere.
Absolutely disgusting that graham has resorted to using internet bots to back him in the comment section. What a coward. All his vids since the debate are full of bots . Sad sad man
Absolutely disgusting that you would watch this video and than spend the time to call a sweet, brilliant man a coward for NO reason. If you truly think he puts these “bots” in his comments than something is wrong with you. Why would you take the time to watch someone you don’t like just cause you don’t agree with him. Now ThAT is sad. Have some respect.
@@sodykuzy918 lol good one. Haha bot
@@sodykuzy918 ps anyone reading this notice sodys account.
Your shows suck. But some of the comments are hilarious.😂
It's a shame Lex is promoting pseudoscience.
Intelligent conversations help keep the 🧠 functioning on all neurons. ( don't fact check/ just listen to the podcast)
