Holy crap man I spit my soda put cracking up when I read your message funny. Nothing like good old man humor. Us toxic males gotta take any chance we get to laugh at something funny.
Bring this guy: Semir Osmanagic. Bosnian Pyramids, around 25,000 years old. He visited most of the the pyramids in the world. Literally, Einstein for pyramids. Graham Hancock knows him well.
The Bosnian “pyramids” are a complete and obvious scam as far as I’ve seen. Just regular hills that kind of look like pyramids. But I’m curious, what evidence do you speak of?
Unique? 😂 I like his interviews but he literally just waits for someone to be on Joe Rogan then invites them on his own show a few months later.. hardly "unique"
It's made of member I limestone which is pretty hard. The shoulders and part of the body are member II which is softer and more prone to erosion, so it had to be reinforced with mud bricks and mortar. Toward the base it's member III which is harder and more durable. The entire structure was carved from the top down in bedrock. The softer stone on the base of the neck and shoulders couldn't ever have supported a larger head. Physics...
@@russellmillar7132yes, because the dudes who spent centuries building this never cared about how it looks... its not like it is built in honor to a god or a important event, just a random statue that this randoms decide to build like Minecraft build wars
The Sphinx is made from 3 different types of limestone. Most of is it terrible quality. If it was over 5,000 years old then it would have been underwater and washed away by the nile flooding. Hancock is lying about the age of the Sphinx because he has absolutely nothing to prove any of his insane theories.
@@russellmillar7132 Physics-wise, that big body made with 'member II' can support much larger heads made with 'member I.' Which is why there's theories about reconstruction. Specifically, we know in 1931, there was a repair to address the fallen headdress. Let's not cite a field of study we don't know nothing about :) Also, I'm not much of a geology guy, but density, hardness, and weight are all separate things in geology. Just because 'member I' limestone is hard, doesn't mean it's more dense and weighs more. Even if that was the case, the body is too big and the head too small to be challenging "physics." Also, it's all limestone. I can only assume the differences are noticeable relative to other limestone. Debunkers are just as shallow as the believers😂
He does zero research. It’s all speculation. He has never participated in a did and never written a peer-reviewed scientific paper. He’s a complete charlatan.
Graham is a conman. He's no different than Cayce, Icke, Bell, Carson, and any others i'm missing. None of them deserve respect. They just make up shit to confirm their own personal narrative.
YES!!!! I have been obsessed with this topic and have been thinking about it a lot. Its like you literally read my mind and put Hancock on to talk pyramids. THANK YOU!
@@MrSOLOPIANIST you thinking Graham Hancock is a genius tells me you are a clown. don't forget to put the nose on when you talk so people can laugh with you instead of at you.
How come nobody talks about Osireion? “James Westerman, a researcher, historian and archaeologist, has dedicated several decades to studying the mysteries of the Osireion, an ancient religious site in central Egypt. Largely submerged in water, the structure seems to defy nature by producing pressurized water from within at a rate no dewatering pumps have been able to match. In hopes of locating the water’s source, Westerman and his team have been monitoring water quality in the structure and surrounding wells, to determine if the water within the Osireion is distinct.” A natural water purification well that no industrial pump can empty is pretty wild imo. Dr Westermen also said he started drinking the water from Osireion and his eye sight regenerated. He no longer needs glasses. Not sure if I believe that 😅 but theres obviously some advanced knowledge required to naturally pressurize water. Hopefully we find out more about this site.
I think you are getting your information from liars. His eyesight came back… 😂 and you still believe the other things he says? It was built during the reign of Seti the first. There is evidence of this, stop listening to grifters like Hancock and look up actual research on the place. Seti 1st name is even in the copper joining plates that are situated between the blocks. Not ‘graffitied on’ by Seti the way Hancock would suggest. Actually found in situ between blocks and under blocks placed above them, sealed away since construction. They actually blew away part of a block with dynamite to get to it if my memory serves correctly. And the structure was probably not finished, again you can look it up and find why egyptologists believe that.
@@casualviewing1096 About that "site" its already known that this is not something planned. Its connected to an aquifier, a gigantic one. The only way to stop the leak and excavate that site is to use something like the swiss use when they bore tunnels. They have something that drills tiny holes into the rock, very long holes and then they fill it with some kind of glue/concrete mix that will harden even submerged and close those cracks which then eventually will stop the leaks. But you have to ask yourself why this wasn't already done. Its not magical or some ancient tech we don't know about. And yeah that water isn't magical, but most likely very healthy and mineral rich, nothing more.
We are talking about it. But you gotta go to a library and do some digging because it doesn't fit neatly inside a youtube snippet or a podcast like graham's fairytales :) And it is mostly actual facts by researchers instead of someone's imagination running wild so it might not seem so interesting then.
@@tshatos6442because what the original post was saying is basically that of a grifter. If you believe that crud originally stated, i have a bridge i want to sell you!
It's unfortunate that the Egyptian government is more concerned with protecting their tourism industry than allowing thorough investigations. The suppression of knowledge and manipulation of historical records are detrimental to our understanding of human civilization.
The most obvious objection to his "Erosion due to heavy rains over thousands of years" is that when you see sand falling/blowing over obstacles, it looks EXACTLY LIKE water flowing! And sand "flowing" over stone/brick surfaces will cause significantly MORE erosion than water! As for "no evidence they were tombs" -- both Khufu and Menkaure's pyramids contained sarcophagi! Sadly the Menkaure was lost at sea on its way to the British Museum. But Khufu's (very damaged) sarcophagus is still on place IN his pyramid!
I remember being in 4th grade and having a two gentlemen come into my school to make a presentation on ancient Egypt. They included the sphinx. It was just after we had completed a series on erosion. As soon as I saw the sphinx I thought it was water question erosion. I even asked a question during their q&a. The two guys just looked at each other for a second before politely disregarding the question.
Because it kills the LIES of Greek Philosophers. That's why Graham is ostracized by the scientific community. Notice how ALL books on the physical sciences have a "Greek" father? The Sphinx is evidence that the Greeks did not discover the "Great Year" or that the world was round. It occured to me that the if there was a such thing as Greek philosophy, then nobody in Europe would of thought the world was flat!
Instead of always just saying his part of belief. I want to see graham debating archeologists that believe in mainstream history that we have been taught in schools.
well done Graham Hancock it rolls off the tongue for you very easily all of this incredible stuff for a series of monuments designed to last for all time and nobody knows really how the hell they did it let alone carve up to 100 ton blocks. They wanted to impress us didnt they well they have.
oh you mean the guy that was saying there are pyramids and giant stone faces on Mars and then suddenly shut up when better pictures came out ? Yeah, great.
As I recall, Peter Thompkins and Christopher Bird wrote "The Secrets of the Great Pyramids" in the early seventies, discussing much of what Hancock is presenting. The book also had a paper on ancient, mostly Egyptian, measurement systems evident in the Pyramids' structure. They also reference and integrate the records of many previous inquiries including the Napoleonic expeditions. The Rosetta stone was discovered on one of those expeditions. There is a high degree of consistency between Hancock's presentation and the book.

Hancock IS NOT "an archaeologist"! He says he is a journalist/researcher. If you want a detailed critique of his quite silly theories, consult a genuine archaeologist's videos ... Milo of 'Miniminuteman'!
Every ancient culture has a deluge story. The problem that Graham runs into is so many archeologist that are loath to suggest anything that might make it look like they are verifying biblical stories. Graham does not operate under those constraints and is free to believe what he sees and and synthesize it with what the ancients wrote.
Sure, I'm all for him being a free thinker, however, and if the descrapency is 8.000 years with zero evidence it is a huge problem, still very Interesting to think about though.
No. Every culture does not have a flood myth. Many do but at least as many don't. The one in the Bible is believed (by those who believe it) to have happened around 2500 BCE. This is when the pyramids at Giza where being built. The floods in the various myths are not referencing the same event, and we know that floods are regularly occurring events. The people who composed them, in antiquity, had no concept of the real size and shape of the Earth and so couldn't know whether a flood was worldwide or just regional.
There's hardly anywhere on Earth which doesn't flood. North Carolina now has flood stories. Handshandyracistwhitesupremacttsrealitydeniercock would claim that it was a racial memory of the ice sheets melting.
Perhaps the answers to many of the astronomical questions in egyptology, could be found in Indology/Indic/Vedic Studies. Btw the 7 sages in ancient Indian history are referring to as Saptarishis.
I had no idea that Robert Bauval has been having such serious health issues, and it's so sad to hear for me because I love his presentations. I appreciate Graham mentioning him, they both were so badass back then, and although battling such health issues at 76 is a serious thing, I pray he gets better and I hope I have the chance to hear him talk in this modern podcast way. I am also so happy to see Graham doing well after what he's been through, he is so sharp now. And now I am gonna start watching the 2nd season of Ancient Apocalypse.
I’m an Egyptologist working in the Nile Delta. Listen - no one attacks you they attack your conclusions. Stop with this victim mentality alright, just stop. You, unlike me and my colleagues, enjoy a lucrative monetary gain by espousing the sensational and the contradictory. The geologist indicated there was severe water erosion on a lower levels of the sphinx - well, you don’t discuss how it was built, whether that ingress is marked in the quarry the stone came from, nor do you discuss sampling of the bedrock directly adjacent to the Sphinx. What’s more - what is your so what here? The ire? The ire is not that you could be right. There is nothing wrong with recalibrating knowledge on a particular topic. For gods’ sakes man - we all thought Ma’adi was some mass producer of Copper when in fact we now know only in the past few decades that is just not the case. The community did not ridicule the original archaeologists who came to such a conclusion. They simply interpreted what they had and later when more data was collected they were proven wrong. This notion that there is a plethora of Egyptologists attacking you is absurd. YOU sir, are the one attacking us. All I ever hear in my classroom is “well Graham Hancock says you’re all close-minded”, or online “yeah buddy? How about you and your Hollywood pedophile friends stop lying. Graham is speaking the truth” So what the fuck Hancock - I go to school for 13 years, work as an archaeologist for 6, and while I’m sweating my ass off in the western delta on a measly $1000 USD salary a month to do the physical excavating and research, you get to disparage me and mine using the data we collected. You fly around in a fancy helicopter and enjoy this notoriety, yet ME and MY COLLEAGUES are the ones somehow wrong, lying, and not looking at the facts?? What’s worse is that I thought Friedman was a critical thinker - forget the science for a moment and look at the people. One guy has degree in social modalities of communication and control, vs a guy who endured a 32 hour comp exam to qualify for a dissertation in Egyptology. Yep, I must be the nutter in this.
Land of Chem guy and Chris Dunn have independently come to the conclusion that the Queen’s chamber and the Queen’s chamber shafts were designed for chemical reactions. Makes more sense than any Egyptologist’s theory that I’ve heard.
I don’t understand the hate over having different theories or perspectives of ancient Egypt. Especially when Egypt itself prevents a lot of archaeologically
There's no hate. There's simply just not alternative theories. Graham Hancock, just as Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin before make up spectacular stories to sell books. All this is financially motivated. If this guy was actually interested in ancient history, he would have gotten a degree in it and published his findings in academy. Egypt doesn't really prevent archaeology, they just restrict access from people who have absolutely no clue what they are doing and how to protect the ancient monuments. There have been several authorized projects in Giza for mapping undiscovered chambers within the pyramids, so I don't really understand where this statement comes from. There are also dozens of excavations going on as we speak. Hawass is a controversial person, but not for the reasons Hancock wants people to believe.
The shafts that line up with Sirius and the other constellations makes me think there is something special about that specific star light, maybe for the use of meditation and out of body experiences and connecting to other beings from those constellations 😇
What I find fascinating is that EVERYONE talks about bigger and way older humans before the flood. They probably couldn't survive the catastrophic change.
Lex, have someone like Pierre Tallet on. deciphered lost scrolls found near giza that explained how they carried stone during high tide via a ship right to the base of the pyramid.. Actual science.
How did they then lift those stones to be cut to near-perfect specifications to then be set in their designated place since the stones still had to be cut and lifted and placed with the level of precision that we see in the finished product to this day? Using high tide still wouldn't explain how it was done or could be done
I love how Graham always has to play up the persecuted martyr, being picked on by vindictive archeologists and scientists. As though he can’t possibly understand why archaeologists, who have spent careers in the field, accumulating, analyzing, researching and sharing that EVIDENCE in widely distributed papers and lectures and classes and museums would somehow have an issue with a charlatan (though very intelligent, articulate, and knowledgeable about prehistoric times) who essentially weaves fantastical hypotheses within accurately described places, timelines, and cultures for financial gain. Selling hundreds of thousands of fantasy books and having a popular show espouse theories (with no evidence to back them up)to folks blindly yearning for some “alternate” take on history because “man, wouldn’t that be cool if…..” Meanwhile, hardworking archeologists and scientists are out there digging, researching, reviewing and sharing actual artifacts and piecing together as accurate of an idea of our past as they can. Based on facts, evidence and accurately shared knowledge. It might not be glamorous work. They might not be laughing all the way to the bank, but they’re doing it the right way. As Carl Sagan (who I’m sure would’ve thought Hancock a quack) once famously said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. As for Hancock’s hypothesis of a “super race” globe trotting and “teaching” other lowly societies advanced techniques etc, there’s absolutely no evidence to back that up. None whatsoever..
Indeed, very fanciful. But at least he’s succinct and tries to patch stuff together. Meanwhile, your archaeologists bumble about but still don’t have solid answers.
@@daverudd-zt3ob I’d rather someone admit they don’t know an answer than make one up and profit off of it. You have your criticism facing the wrong direction.
@@daverudd-zt3ob Confusing solid evidentiary work with “bumbling” is laughably ignorant and demeaning. And “they still don’t have solid answers”? Solid answers to what? A fanciful hypothesis made up by Hancock based on….nothing? Of course they don’t have answers to a made up question or in this case, hypothesis. They report what they find. And what they’re finding hasn’t somehow verified Hancocks hypothesis. And yet Hancock gets upset that they can’t get on board with his ideas, when he and the archeologists working in the field have no evidence to back it up. Do you not see the ridiculousness in that scenario? Meanwhile he continues to shell out material to the equivalent of big foot myth “believers”. Evidence talks… BS walks.
Always baffles me that people think the pyramids must have taken advanced technology to build. They are large triangular prisms lol. Extremely easy to build. (1) You make a bunch of bricks of roughly the same size and shape (using a mold, most likely). (2) Then you take some of them and place them on the ground in the shape of a big square. That will be the base of the pyramid. (3) You then take more of your bricks and make another square, _but this time_ you make this square slightly smaller than the base and you make it _on top of_ the base. (4) You continue step 3 until these square “layers” have tapered to a point. That’s what a triangular prism, or “pyramid,” is - a square-base 3d object that tapers to a point at the top, giving an overall triangular appearance because 4 sides are triangles. This is seriously easy. There is no doubt in my mind that the Egyptians could have easily accomplished this with simple tools, like ropes and pulleys and ramps to pull stones up on top of the others. Any complexity like how many bricks are needed could easily be solved with simple mathematics. As for the tunnels, tombs, other stuff inside the pyramid - you either draw up a blueprint that factors in the creation of these as you are building, or you just build the entire pyramid first then dig out the tunnels the same way you would in any other structure. With men and chisels, shovels, and other simple tools.
Easy isnt it. Then you lift 100 tons blocks with crane and that is it. Dig some tunnels later…..Not sure why whole world trying to figure out how they did it and here, in the comment you explained everything.
Okay so how did they move these blocks hundreds of miles across a sandy desert? How did they then cut these blocks to be perfectly flat with perfect 90 degree angles? You realize you can't cast mold granite, right? Also, you realize that the pyramids were not originally just blocks stacked, up, but actually had an outside layer that ran flush down the entire pyramid? Oh, did you also know that the great pyramids are actually 8 sided, and are not perfectly square triangular prisms? You basically just described how to build a pyramid in minecraft and expect that it's the same exact way in real life. Do you understand how absolutely perfect the dimensions of the great pyramids are? A single block being just an inch out of place would've ruined the entire project.
so easy to cut granite. not even squares, we're talking about tunnels, corridors, passageways of all sorts that look cut with a scalpel. idk how YOU would explain that but clearly it has fascinated humans for ever
14:15 This deserves more attention from Hancock. The evidence that Vies was a fraud is very compelling. Hancock is honestly downplaying how much modern Egyptology relies on Vies' fraudulence
12:00 Lex realizing Graham isnt actually going to answer his question because it is a weal spot for him. He never acknowledges the strongest evidence against him, only the weakest.
He never acknowledges any evidence against him. He always sneers and attacks the messengers and can never ever ever show that real archaeologists are wrong.
Love the channel and guest, great watch. I find all this fascinating. I’ve always wondered how far back history goes, as in actually facts and data. When talking about history a lot of speculation is used, words like suggest, perhaps, maybe, might have, looks like. How can someone born in 1950 tell me what was going on 1000’s of years ago?
@@keithgupton9349 settle down. Im sorry you have so little understanding in those pyramids, that you are just as impressed with something that was vastly, and i mean VASTLY inferior to the pyramids. The time and skill that took to build them va the great pyramid is not even comparable. Be impressed all you want, they are not as impressive as the great pyramid’s. Imagine comparing a kids drawing with that of famous renaissance art.
@@chaoticgood1776yeah lets forget about all of science and See How the Emotionally invested and undereducated people of the internet drive the world. Speaking of people like you
The 3 pyramid sites at teotihuacan (pyr sun, moon and a non pyr square of the temple of the feathered serpent) are laid out in the SAME proportions and positions as the Giza prys and the stars in orion's belt. But the squares themselves are rotated about 45 degrees relative to the positional layout.... take a look
@@jaymcbakerkWe need you to debate him, on this channel or perhaps Rogan’s. Email him with your doubts and concerns. We shall wait with baited breath 😏
Well flint dribble was proven to have used flat out LIES in his debate on Rogan. The guy was sent to discredit Hancock by any means necessary and so used deceit. Hancock makes a God rebuttal after the debate. Should go watch. Dribble was just dribbling nonsense.
Dribble? The man lied on Rogan and created facts that were clearly false. Watch Hancock's rebuttal. He didn't have time to research all of the "facts" till after the show. Dribble was dribbling nonsense.
@@beyondthunderstick1578 You take one number he got wrong and you use that to dismiss the four houers of him steam rolling Graham with facts making Graham look utterly silly. But you are not interested in the truth so facts don't interest you.
If you believe the humid Sahara was real, then you have to accept that the Sphinx would have been underwater, then underwater during the flood seasons as the area underwent desertification.
This young man is astoundedly gifted with poise as well as many other gifts of the mind...I have observed something about him... His intolerance of the common idiots... I'm always ready to watch anything either hosted by him, or he is a guest speaker on someone's podcast...I have no interest or, desire to sit with him in an interview,as to the great respect I have for him...
His audience is almost entirely made up of “common idiots” so it’s supremely important that he be tolerant of them. They buy his books and pay his bills.
Graham Hancock is that f-ing dude. Just finished his 2nd season of “Ancient Apocalypse” on Netflix yesterday, and it just came out yesterday! Giving us alternate theories ab our history only makes sense to do bc a lot doesn’t make sense.
@@godsquadclips4000so you just believe everything science says? Even though it’s constantly changing & things that were fact yesterday are false today etc. You do realise science is a business & the elite fund & choose what papers come out, what gets hidden what studies get funded etc … if you’re not aware, you might as well not speak on the topics
@ wow dude… I don’t even know where to begin with this one. Sounds like you don’t really know how science works tbh. Or what it is. Or what the scientific method is. Or what radiocarbon dating is. Or what peer reviewed studies are. Or what meta analyses are. Please don’t speak on topics you aren’t educated on, thanks!
In all fairness, I'd like to hear the opinion of an Egyptology scholar who has an expertise in these areas to compare conventional academic understanding with Graham's theory in order to see what aspects of this talk are more or less convincing.
The saddest thing is that you people are so hell bent on hating to make yourselves feel better/smarter, that you aren't even capable of actually listening to what he has to say because the instant he says something your ego can't handle, it's all you people focus on. Actual evidence: -Symbols being found worldwide (like the swastika, 4-square, etc...) -Granite for pyramids came from hundreds of miles away, stones are all cut to perfection using supposedly copper. Each pyramid contains millions of blocks each weighing more than a minivan. The conventional theory for copper tools would've required hundreds of millions of man hours in a society that was nowhere near as populated as it is today, and all of this happening in less than 25 years. Oh, and slave labor wasn't ever used, so these highly skilled masons would've likely been working extremely long hours non-stop to meet the 25 year deadline. (Yes, you can cut granite with copper, sand, and water. However it takes several men literally all day to cut several inches deep, with mixed results on how clean/straight the cuts are) -There is absolutely zero Egyptian documentation of the great pyramids being constructed, yet there is plenty of documentation for other achievements in ancient Egypt. -Similar architecture traits can also be found in stone constructions worldwide. See the "ancient stone nubs" found literally worldwide. -Also see "polygonal stone bricks" seen in the same structures as the nubs all over the world. -You can also look into lesser known megalithic sites, some of which have even larger, heavier, and more complex stone constructions. -It seems many of these buildings had something to do with the stars, for example Aztecs created pools to reflect the stars for easier mapping, great pyramids line up with Orion's belt, etc... This list of strange coincidences and unexplainable realities is what makes Graham Hancock so convincing. There is a plethora of evidence to support the notion we are missing major pieces of information from human history. Yet I'd bet any amount of money the moment you started reading this comment, your little ego immediately put me into the "wackjob idiot conspiracy theorist" compartment even though I've actually provided you with some of the stronger questions we have on this hypothesis.
@muscleman125 So a quick Google search shows you are flat out wrong about "there is ZERO documents about the pyramids being built." - "While ancient Egyptians did not extensively document the detailed process of building the pyramids within the pyramids themselves, they did leave behind records, primarily in the form of papyri, that provide valuable insights into the construction process, including worker details, quarry operations, and transportation logistics, offering a glimpse into the daily activities of pyramid builders; essentially, they documented aspects of the construction but not in a comprehensive, step-by-step manner." They have found these papyri documents near the red Sea. We actually know quite a bit about where the stones came from, which quarries, and how they got there. People really need to stop just regurgitating what Graham says because it sounds cool. Look up info for yourself. Look for counter arguments from real scientists. Look into debunking videos on Grahams claims (there are plenty).
Because all of you "logical thinkers" are going around shitting on everybody and not actually trying to counter anything he says. Literally not a single one of you people has actually tried to legitimately discredit him. All you morons do is call him a racist, a grifter, an idiot, etc.... You just hear some talking head on your screen say "Science says this" and you run with it because you aren't capable of free thought.
I was fascinated by graham and still am but purely for entertainment. I just started following some real archeologists and it’s equally entertaining how they debunk almost everything graham says. It’s very entertaining to see both sides of the information.
A lot of what those 'real' archeologists have said has been de bunked too. Changing the minds of academics is almost impossible, could you imagine spending your career on something, becoming classed as an expert in the area all for someone to come along a say there maybe another explanation, the realization your career and standing maybe based on nonsense is not an attractive one, so they do all they can to make sure the story doesn't change. This is why Galileo spent the end of his life in house arrest for making the claim that the earth orbits the sun.
Dribble uses lies to debunk an these smart "uni trained" archaeologists are good at fooling lay people. These same believed the clovis model as biblical for most of their careers. Dribble lied on Rogan and created facts that were clearly false. Watch Hancock's rebuttal. He didn't have time to research all of the "facts" till after the show. Dribble was dribbling nonsense.
Everything that Graham is saying I've heard him say probably 20 different times over 20 years. He just made another cycle of podcast and they're all saying exact the same thing as he said 5 years ago when he did Joe Rogan

@@danielbolton6905no, it is puedogeology. Graham does not take the environment into account at the time he says the spinx was built means the spinx would have been in the river.
@@trevorward4762that he is probably wrong. Dr Robert Schneiker puts forward the hypothesis that almost all other geologists and archaeologists who have studied it believe. Schoch is a wacky guy who believes some wild things about a lot of places, his colleagues often disagree with his more sensational ideas, his sphinx hypothesis being one. Why put your money on the guy who attends alien conventions and says wild shit, instead of the consensus of educated geologists who disagree with him?
Here's a thought... What if the Sphinx is very very old and ended up buried under the sand with only the head sticking out. Over time erosion made it sort of a roughly head-shaped lump but the new inhabitants didn't know that it went deeper. We look at our own mountains and hills and imagine they look like something. We even name them Camelback or birds head peak... So what if the new inhabitants saw this lump there and thought it looked like something and without knowing that it was an entire lion underneath, they simply carved it into the head of their pharaoh like the man who carved Mount Rushmore saw the heads of Presidents in the Rock? And perhaps it was only later discovered that there was an entire lion's body under the sand?
@@gregorymorse8423 Easter Island, people for a long time didn't know there lower sections under the head. Pretty plausible people only saw the head and recarved it.
I completely admire this man. Bc of him, I've changed my whole world view of history & I've never looked back. It led me to so much interesting research, but also extreme frustration at mainstream archeologists who refuse to even consider the facts of our history.
Graham doesn't argue any facts and he admits that himself, he merely is bringing awareness to a possibility. We to this date, don't have evidence of any civilization beyond Gobleki tepe 12000 years ago. The fact you've completely changed your entire world view and have more conviction than Hancock speaks for itself
I understand though! He speaks with pure conviction and confidence when he himself has few convictions! Very apparent when he speaks with such confidence about topics and methods nobody alive is positive about! Like how the pyramids were constructed!
@JacobLee-o6s Not really. Bc of his research, I've expanded my beliefs. I've read "The Epic of Gilgamesh", studied Bible passages, studied astronomy, geology & many, many ancient cultures & their beliefs & myths & customs. I absolutely believe we've been here on this planet way longer than the mainstream academics would have us believe. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that I changed my entire world view.
So in other words you didn't like the boring real history so you went for the more fantastical version which has no good evidence,Research isn't watching crazy grifters on UA-cam just so you're aware
Yeah it would be actually nice to have someone over who debunks these ridiculous stories. This is basically no different from asking someone to speak in favor of flat earth or that the moon is a hologram.
@@penelopemelson3797they might be wrong but calling them racist is extremely hypercritical. Kinda discounts the blight of folks who currently deal with it everyday
Graham has such a wonderful tonal voice as well as excellent diction, I'm sure I would buy an audio book of him reading the phone book of London, my home city.
Suppose the Sphinx was initially built in the shape of a lion. Some suggest it could have aligned with the constellation Leo during a different astronomical age, possibly the "Age of Leo" (approximately 10,500 BCE), when the constellation would have risen just before dawn at the spring equinox. This would add symbolism to the statue's design if it was intended to represent the lion at a time when the constellation Leo was dominant in the sky. However, such a connection is speculative, as constellations and their symbolic meanings likely developed much later.
The Sphinx being 12,000 years old is ridiculous because there was nothing else like it at that stage in mankind's development and nothing similar for thousands of years afterwards. It would be like the Romans (who were great engineers) building the Eiffel Tower. The great pyramids at Giza were the ultimate evolution of hundreds of years of tomb building, arising from simple mastabas to the first 'true' Step Pyramid of Djoser. With the evidence of over 100 earlier pyramids in Egypt there is no need to postulate aliens or magic. Where are the earlier attempts at monumentalism that precede the Sphinx?
That we have found yet. Most of what now is the Sahara desert is not excavated. That area was not a desert 12000 years ago. The best places to live and thrive 12000 years ago are now under water. As Graham points out in the full podcast, very little underwater arkeologi is done. 99% of it is focuses on finding shipwrecks.
The guy is a completely deluded looney. But he's duped enough people who like to be mystified into buying his books and watching his TV shows, so as to make a career out of it.
Yeah cause your opinion means anything at all? I'd trust him any day over you. Probably get your information from Wikipedia or government controlled resources
Captain Ajit Vadakayil has told all there is to know about pyramids. West will of course deny it but Grqham Hancock has an open mind and might understand that theory. Captain Ajit Vadakayil had already mentioned how old sphinx was. Of course if people gave equal importance to eastern historians as much as western this world would have been a better place
Oh, if anyone feels like they wanna dive deeper, watch the Rogan, Flint Dibble, Hancock debate. Here Graham has the "evil" archeologist and not single pyramid question for an hour which is telling. All he could muster was that they're mean to him and his ideas. Why not "destroy" him with a few unexplainable points? I love listening to him speak and letting my mind wander but sometimes listening to Archeologists give the long breath answer to a complex questions is also nice.
@@leachimy24quite. I’d not head of Dibble before but everything that has come out about him now is that he is a rather unsavoury and untruthful individual.
@@leachimy24 Debunking also admitted he lied to about a lot of what Flint said. Admitted he did so to make Flint feel what it's like to be on the hatred end of things. Flints colleagues have all said he did a good job. Graham has absolutely NO material evidence of this advanced globe spanning culture he speaks of. Not one piece. He cant tell you where they lived, where they came from, what they looked like, that was their tech like, nothing, no proof at all. And he insults every culture, religion, race, and educated, dedicated anthropologists, geologist, archeologist, metallurgist etc with this lost civilization, as if they were a superior race that came to teach all the simple, stupid hunter gatherers. It is an insult to the Indians, the Egyptians, the entire fertile cresent list of peoples, the Myans the Aztec, the Toltec, the Inca and all the American Indigenous peoples. What he suggests is that all there groups could never have made their temples and monuments by themselves. All those groups dont need another white man pulling that insult to their ancestors.
@@penelopemelson3797 Your first sentence has confusing syntax, are you saying Dedunking admitted to lying? If he did, where can I read that/watch that please? In any case the videos put up by dedunking and now Graham, show how Dibble manipulated, obfrsucated, left out and outlied lied in some places.
@@leachimy24funny I saw the entire episode and as an archaeologist, I do not recall Dibble lying about anything. The real liar is Graham Hancock- he’s been a charlatan for decades. Dibble must follow the scientific method as an archaeologist, so tell me where he lied?

Respect for letting him talk without interrupting…
Respect for not beating your spouse when you have an argument
So rare, but so valued.
well he'ss not Neil degrasse Tyson
Hancock got one of them voices like Brian Cox and David Attenborough, who would intrupt him.
This guy is fantasists of the highest order 😂😂😂
They recently found a secret door in the lower back end of the sphinx. It's called the Sphinxter
Holy crap man I spit my soda put cracking up when I read your message funny. Nothing like good old man humor. Us toxic males gotta take any chance we get to laugh at something funny.
They should take a sample of the door to analyze
Yes, I saw it myself. When I reached out and rubbed my hand across this "sphinxter".....the statue started purring.
Haha got em
Yes!! Thank You!
So glad to see Hancock on this podcast!
@@inthemix Tony Hancock spoke mores sense
Didn't expect to see you here. I really enjoyed your song Miavono - Just Drive.
Why?? This guy is clueless
Not me. This man’s a fool
He;s a charlatan.
Bring this guy: Semir Osmanagic. Bosnian Pyramids, around 25,000 years old. He visited most of the the pyramids in the world. Literally, Einstein for pyramids. Graham Hancock knows him well.
The presentation on the Bosnian pyramid last month was fascinating. Too much data backing up it is anomalous
Please do not. Osmanagic is a moron. There are no pyramids in Bosnia
The Bosnian “pyramids” are a complete and obvious scam as far as I’ve seen. Just regular hills that kind of look like pyramids.
But I’m curious, what evidence do you speak of?
@@kevinwoods9274 in 1890, airplanes were total scam. Biggest ever. Listen to some of his videos and you will understand better.

Fantastic interview as always Lex. Appreciate your unique content.
Meh, we’re here for graham hancock no other reason
Unique? 😂 I like his interviews but he literally just waits for someone to be on Joe Rogan then invites them on his own show a few months later.. hardly "unique"
Took me 30 second while being there to see the Sphinx’s head is smaller to the proportion to the rest of the body and is made from a different stone
It's made of member I limestone which is pretty hard. The shoulders and part of the body are member II which is softer and more prone to erosion, so it had to be reinforced with mud bricks and mortar. Toward the base it's member III which is harder and more durable. The entire structure was carved from the top down in bedrock. The softer stone on the base of the neck and shoulders couldn't ever have supported a larger head. Physics...
@@russellmillar7132yes, because the dudes who spent centuries building this never cared about how it looks... its not like it is built in honor to a god or a important event, just a random statue that this randoms decide to build like Minecraft build wars
@@Greg_Abandoned originally female lion head, it's been re carved many times since then.
The Sphinx is made from 3 different types of limestone. Most of is it terrible quality. If it was over 5,000 years old then it would have been underwater and washed away by the nile flooding.
Hancock is lying about the age of the Sphinx because he has absolutely nothing to prove any of his insane theories.
@@russellmillar7132 Physics-wise, that big body made with 'member II' can support much larger heads made with 'member I.' Which is why there's theories about reconstruction. Specifically, we know in 1931, there was a repair to address the fallen headdress. Let's not cite a field of study we don't know nothing about :)
Also, I'm not much of a geology guy, but density, hardness, and weight are all separate things in geology. Just because 'member I' limestone is hard, doesn't mean it's more dense and weighs more. Even if that was the case, the body is too big and the head too small to be challenging "physics." Also, it's all limestone. I can only assume the differences are noticeable relative to other limestone. Debunkers are just as shallow as the believers😂
I live in geza. I've never enjoyed visiting the pyramid until I listened to this video , what valuable info❤
I have respect for Graham as a diligent researcher who presents his views with dignity and confidence despite pushback and criticism ❤
He’s a charlatan selling ideas he knows are nonsense
He does zero research. It’s all speculation. He has never participated in a did and never written a peer-reviewed scientific paper. He’s a complete charlatan.

Graham Hancock is a fool
@totobeni the fool is YOU sir. 😂 Mr Hancock is a genius
@@MrSOLOPIANIST you thinking Graham Hancock is a genius tells me you are a clown. don't forget to put the nose on when you talk so people can laugh with you instead of at you.
Oh dear 🙄 @@MrSOLOPIANIST
@trotskyite1 and now YOU are a genius. Because you finally realise Mr Hancock is a genius. I am too. Welcome to the club 😄
How come nobody talks about Osireion?
“James Westerman, a researcher, historian and archaeologist, has dedicated several decades to studying the mysteries of the Osireion, an ancient religious site in central Egypt. Largely submerged in water, the structure seems to defy nature by producing pressurized water from within at a rate no dewatering pumps have been able to match. In hopes of locating the water’s source, Westerman and his team have been monitoring water quality in the structure and surrounding wells, to determine if the water within the Osireion is distinct.”
A natural water purification well that no industrial pump can empty is pretty wild imo. Dr Westermen also said he started drinking the water from Osireion and his eye sight regenerated. He no longer needs glasses. Not sure if I believe that 😅 but theres obviously some advanced knowledge required to naturally pressurize water. Hopefully we find out more about this site.
I think you are getting your information from liars. His eyesight came back… 😂 and you still believe the other things he says? It was built during the reign of Seti the first. There is evidence of this, stop listening to grifters like Hancock and look up actual research on the place. Seti 1st name is even in the copper joining plates that are situated between the blocks. Not ‘graffitied on’ by Seti the way Hancock would suggest. Actually found in situ between blocks and under blocks placed above them, sealed away since construction. They actually blew away part of a block with dynamite to get to it if my memory serves correctly. And the structure was probably not finished, again you can look it up and find why egyptologists believe that.
@@casualviewing1096 About that "site" its already known that this is not something planned. Its connected to an aquifier, a gigantic one. The only way to stop the leak and excavate that site is to use something like the swiss use when they bore tunnels. They have something that drills tiny holes into the rock, very long holes and then they fill it with some kind of glue/concrete mix that will harden even submerged and close those cracks which then eventually will stop the leaks.
But you have to ask yourself why this wasn't already done. Its not magical or some ancient tech we don't know about. And yeah that water isn't magical, but most likely very healthy and mineral rich, nothing more.
We are talking about it. But you gotta go to a library and do some digging because it doesn't fit neatly inside a youtube snippet or a podcast like graham's fairytales :) And it is mostly actual facts by researchers instead of someone's imagination running wild so it might not seem so interesting then.
@@casualviewing1096why are you so close minded?
@@tshatos6442because what the original post was saying is basically that of a grifter.
If you believe that crud originally stated, i have a bridge i want to sell you!
I’ve seen the whole podcast, thank you Lex for bringing more light to Graham who is a singular special researcher.
Love ya Graham!!!
😎🤙🏼
He does ZERO research.
It's unfortunate that the Egyptian government is more concerned with protecting their tourism industry than allowing thorough investigations. The suppression of knowledge and manipulation of historical records are detrimental to our understanding of human civilization.
Love this mans voice.
The most obvious objection to his "Erosion due to heavy rains over thousands of years" is that when you see sand falling/blowing over obstacles, it looks EXACTLY LIKE water flowing!
And sand "flowing" over stone/brick surfaces will cause significantly MORE erosion than water!
As for "no evidence they were tombs" -- both Khufu and Menkaure's pyramids contained sarcophagi! Sadly the Menkaure was lost at sea on its way to the British Museum. But Khufu's (very damaged) sarcophagus is still on place IN his pyramid!
I remember being in 4th grade and having a two gentlemen come into my school to make a presentation on ancient Egypt. They included the sphinx. It was just after we had completed a series on erosion. As soon as I saw the sphinx I thought it was water question erosion. I even asked a question during their q&a. The two guys just looked at each other for a second before politely disregarding the question.
I think you should be on Joe Rogan.
Because it kills the LIES of Greek Philosophers. That's why Graham is ostracized by the scientific community. Notice how ALL books on the physical sciences have a "Greek" father? The Sphinx is evidence that the Greeks did not discover the "Great Year" or that the world was round. It occured to me that the if there was a such thing as Greek philosophy, then nobody in Europe would of thought the world was flat!
Lex I just found your channel today man major respect for what you do and having Graham in talking about all these things is really a gem
This my OG right here I always click when I see him
Here’s my theory. The Dynastics all had copper tools because they scrapped a whole bunch of “stuff” from the predynastics. Maybe wire?
Instead of always just saying his part of belief. I want to see graham debating archeologists that believe in mainstream history that we have been taught in schools.
That's a phenomenal idea. Id love to see something like that as well
I think he has done that on the joe rogan pod.
Graham you Did a fantastic job making our case!
well done Graham Hancock it rolls off the tongue for you very easily all of this incredible stuff for a series of monuments designed to last for all time and nobody knows really how the hell they did it let alone carve up to 100 ton blocks. They wanted to impress us didnt they well they have.
Great guest, Lex.
oh you mean the guy that was saying there are pyramids and giant stone faces on Mars and then suddenly shut up when better pictures came out ? Yeah, great.
@@КонстантинИванов-д1д Hancock wrote a book. What are his latest comments on the subject?
@@Halbared Nothing he just moved to the next scam
As I recall, Peter Thompkins and Christopher Bird wrote "The Secrets of the Great Pyramids" in the early seventies, discussing much of what Hancock is presenting. The book also had a paper on ancient, mostly Egyptian, measurement systems evident in the Pyramids' structure. They also reference and integrate the records of many previous inquiries including the Napoleonic expeditions. The Rosetta stone was discovered on one of those expeditions. There is a high degree of consistency between Hancock's presentation and the book.
Id love to give Graham a gram of coke and a few beers, sit back and just watch him go

Graham is an amazing researcher and archeologist. Extremely articulate and professional in every way. I'm so glad you were able to have him on.
Hancock IS NOT "an archaeologist"!
He says he is a journalist/researcher.
If you want a detailed critique of his quite silly theories, consult a genuine archaeologist's videos ... Milo of 'Miniminuteman'!
Every ancient culture has a deluge story. The problem that Graham runs into is so many archeologist that are loath to suggest anything that might make it look like they are verifying biblical stories. Graham does not operate under those constraints and is free to believe what he sees and and synthesize it with what the ancients wrote.
He's a journalist moron. Not an archaeologist. He's managed to convince idiots like you that his opinion is worth a damn.
Sure, I'm all for him being a free thinker, however, and if the descrapency is 8.000 years with zero evidence it is a huge problem, still very Interesting to think about though.
No. Every culture does not have a flood myth. Many do but at least as many don't. The one in the Bible is believed (by those who believe it) to have happened around 2500 BCE. This is when the pyramids at Giza where being built. The floods in the various myths are not referencing the same event, and we know that floods are regularly occurring events. The people who composed them, in antiquity, had no concept of the real size and shape of the Earth and so couldn't know whether a flood was worldwide or just regional.
The buybull isn't accurate history at all
There's hardly anywhere on Earth which doesn't flood. North Carolina now has flood stories. Handshandyracistwhitesupremacttsrealitydeniercock would claim that it was a racial memory of the ice sheets melting.
In Indus Valley civilization too, the 7 sages (Saptarishi) is a strong notion. This is remarkable that this repeats in Egyptian records too.
Man if only we could travel back in time and see how and why the pyramids were actually built and what the sphinx actually looked like.

I had no idea that Robert Bauval has been having such serious health issues, and it's so sad to hear for me because I love his presentations. I appreciate Graham mentioning him, they both were so badass back then, and although battling such health issues at 76 is a serious thing, I pray he gets better and I hope I have the chance to hear him talk in this modern podcast way. I am also so happy to see Graham doing well after what he's been through, he is so sharp now. And now I am gonna start watching the 2nd season of Ancient Apocalypse.
I’m an Egyptologist working in the Nile Delta. Listen - no one attacks you they attack your conclusions. Stop with this victim mentality alright, just stop. You, unlike me and my colleagues, enjoy a lucrative monetary gain by espousing the sensational and the contradictory. The geologist indicated there was severe water erosion on a lower levels of the sphinx - well, you don’t discuss how it was built, whether that ingress is marked in the quarry the stone came from, nor do you discuss sampling of the bedrock directly adjacent to the Sphinx. What’s more - what is your so what here? The ire? The ire is not that you could be right. There is nothing wrong with recalibrating knowledge on a particular topic. For gods’ sakes man - we all thought Ma’adi was some mass producer of Copper when in fact we now know only in the past few decades that is just not the case. The community did not ridicule the original archaeologists who came to such a conclusion. They simply interpreted what they had and later when more data was collected they were proven wrong. This notion that there is a plethora of Egyptologists attacking you is absurd. YOU sir, are the one attacking us. All I ever hear in my classroom is “well Graham Hancock says you’re all close-minded”, or online “yeah buddy? How about you and your Hollywood pedophile friends stop lying. Graham is speaking the truth”
So what the fuck Hancock - I go to school for 13 years, work as an archaeologist for 6, and while I’m sweating my ass off in the western delta on a measly $1000 USD salary a month to do the physical excavating and research, you get to disparage me and mine using the data we collected. You fly around in a fancy helicopter and enjoy this notoriety, yet ME and MY COLLEAGUES are the ones somehow wrong, lying, and not looking at the facts?? What’s worse is that I thought Friedman was a critical thinker - forget the science for a moment and look at the people. One guy has degree in social modalities of communication and control, vs a guy who endured a 32 hour comp exam to qualify for a dissertation in Egyptology. Yep, I must be the nutter in this.
A great guest would be Christopher Dunn who believes the great pyramid was built to be a machine
Check out the land of chem guy from Danny Jones podcast
Right. It was a washing machine for Egyptian loin cloths!
I believe the pyramids were involved in the 2016 elections to fake votes for Donald Trump. Thats pretty much as reasonable as a belief.
$5 you think the earth is flat
Land of Chem guy and Chris Dunn have independently come to the conclusion that the Queen’s chamber and the Queen’s chamber shafts were designed for chemical reactions. Makes more sense than any Egyptologist’s theory that I’ve heard.
I don’t understand the hate over having different theories or perspectives of ancient Egypt. Especially when Egypt itself prevents a lot of archaeologically
There's no hate. There's simply just not alternative theories. Graham Hancock, just as Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin before make up spectacular stories to sell books. All this is financially motivated. If this guy was actually interested in ancient history, he would have gotten a degree in it and published his findings in academy.
Egypt doesn't really prevent archaeology, they just restrict access from people who have absolutely no clue what they are doing and how to protect the ancient monuments. There have been several authorized projects in Giza for mapping undiscovered chambers within the pyramids, so I don't really understand where this statement comes from. There are also dozens of excavations going on as we speak.
Hawass is a controversial person, but not for the reasons Hancock wants people to believe.

Dear Lex, bring Dr Semir Osmanagic to this topic.
Please, no!
What I find fascinating is that EVERYONE talks about bigger and way older humans before the flood. They probably couldn't survive the catastrophic change.
You don’t believe that right ? How would we have different races if only 1 man and woman would create the rest of our current world.
Lex, have someone like Pierre Tallet on. deciphered lost scrolls found near giza that explained how they carried stone during high tide via a ship right to the base of the pyramid.. Actual science.
How did they then lift those stones to be cut to near-perfect specifications to then be set in their designated place since the stones still had to be cut and lifted and placed with the level of precision that we see in the finished product to this day? Using high tide still wouldn't explain how it was done or could be done
@@crammons7330 watch a video on pierre tallet, goes into all of it.
This is the most Indiana Jones story, I’ve heard and I’m all for it ❤
I love how Graham always has to play up the persecuted martyr, being picked on by vindictive archeologists and scientists. As though he can’t possibly understand why archaeologists, who have spent careers in the field, accumulating, analyzing, researching and sharing that EVIDENCE in widely distributed papers and lectures and classes and museums would somehow have an issue with a charlatan (though very intelligent, articulate, and knowledgeable about prehistoric times) who essentially weaves fantastical hypotheses within accurately described places, timelines, and cultures for financial gain. Selling hundreds of thousands of fantasy books and having a popular show espouse theories (with no evidence to back them up)to folks blindly yearning for some “alternate” take on history because “man, wouldn’t that be cool if…..” Meanwhile, hardworking archeologists and scientists are out there digging, researching, reviewing and sharing actual artifacts and piecing together as accurate of an idea of our past as they can. Based on facts, evidence and accurately shared knowledge. It might not be glamorous work. They might not be laughing all the way to the bank, but they’re doing it the right way. As Carl Sagan (who I’m sure would’ve thought Hancock a quack) once famously said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. As for Hancock’s hypothesis of a “super race” globe trotting and “teaching” other lowly societies advanced techniques etc, there’s absolutely no evidence to back that up. None whatsoever..
Indeed, very fanciful. But at least he’s succinct and tries to patch stuff together. Meanwhile, your archaeologists bumble about but still don’t have solid answers.
@@daverudd-zt3ob Yes he articulates his bullshit beautifully.
@@daverudd-zt3ob I’d rather someone admit they don’t know an answer than make one up and profit off of it. You have your criticism facing the wrong direction.
@@daverudd-zt3ob Confusing solid evidentiary work with “bumbling” is laughably ignorant and demeaning. And “they still don’t have solid answers”? Solid answers to what? A fanciful hypothesis made up by Hancock based on….nothing? Of course they don’t have answers to a made up question or in this case, hypothesis. They report what they find. And what they’re finding hasn’t somehow verified Hancocks hypothesis. And yet Hancock gets upset that they can’t get on board with his ideas, when he and the archeologists working in the field have no evidence to back it up. Do you not see the ridiculousness in that scenario? Meanwhile he continues to shell out material to the equivalent of big foot myth “believers”. Evidence talks… BS walks.
Which parts are bullshit
These have almost become unlistenable at night due to the ads that will go on for 30 minutes.
Always baffles me that people think the pyramids must have taken advanced technology to build. They are large triangular prisms lol. Extremely easy to build. (1) You make a bunch of bricks of roughly the same size and shape (using a mold, most likely). (2) Then you take some of them and place them on the ground in the shape of a big square. That will be the base of the pyramid. (3) You then take more of your bricks and make another square, _but this time_ you make this square slightly smaller than the base and you make it _on top of_ the base. (4) You continue step 3 until these square “layers” have tapered to a point. That’s what a triangular prism, or “pyramid,” is - a square-base 3d object that tapers to a point at the top, giving an overall triangular appearance because 4 sides are triangles.
This is seriously easy. There is no doubt in my mind that the Egyptians could have easily accomplished this with simple tools, like ropes and pulleys and ramps to pull stones up on top of the others. Any complexity like how many bricks are needed could easily be solved with simple mathematics. As for the tunnels, tombs, other stuff inside the pyramid - you either draw up a blueprint that factors in the creation of these as you are building, or you just build the entire pyramid first then dig out the tunnels the same way you would in any other structure. With men and chisels, shovels, and other simple tools.
Easy isnt it. Then you lift 100 tons blocks with crane and that is it. Dig some tunnels later…..Not sure why whole world trying to figure out how they did it and here, in the comment you explained everything.
@@DomiSiki ramps, man made pools to float, pulleys.
Okay so how did they move these blocks hundreds of miles across a sandy desert? How did they then cut these blocks to be perfectly flat with perfect 90 degree angles?
You realize you can't cast mold granite, right?
Also, you realize that the pyramids were not originally just blocks stacked, up, but actually had an outside layer that ran flush down the entire pyramid?
Oh, did you also know that the great pyramids are actually 8 sided, and are not perfectly square triangular prisms?
You basically just described how to build a pyramid in minecraft and expect that it's the same exact way in real life. Do you understand how absolutely perfect the dimensions of the great pyramids are? A single block being just an inch out of place would've ruined the entire project.
so easy to cut granite. not even squares, we're talking about tunnels, corridors, passageways of all sorts that look cut with a scalpel.
idk how YOU would explain that but clearly it has fascinated humans for ever
14:15 This deserves more attention from Hancock. The evidence that Vies was a fraud is very compelling. Hancock is honestly downplaying how much modern Egyptology relies on Vies' fraudulence

None
Do Way More Egypt Podcast's While Ur Healthy O.G It's Important U Are Really Smart 🧠
lol it’s Graham “but it looks manmade” Hancock. Solid evidence as always
The saddest thing is that you people are so hell bent on hating to make yourselves feel better/smarter, that you aren't even capable of actually listening to what he has to say because the instant he says something your ego can't handle, it's all you people focus on.
Actual evidence:
-Symbols being found worldwide (like the swastika, 4-square, etc...)
-Granite for pyramids came from hundreds of miles away, stones are all cut to perfection using supposedly copper. Each pyramid contains millions of blocks each weighing more than a minivan. The conventional theory for copper tools would've required hundreds of millions of man hours in a society that was nowhere near as populated as it is today, and all of this happening in less than 25 years. Oh, and slave labor wasn't ever used, so these highly skilled masons would've likely been working extremely long hours non-stop to meet the 25 year deadline.
(Yes, you can cut granite with copper, sand, and water. However it takes several men literally all day to cut several inches deep, with mixed results on how clean/straight the cuts are)
-There is absolutely zero Egyptian documentation of the great pyramids being constructed, yet there is plenty of documentation for other achievements in ancient Egypt.
-Similar architecture traits can also be found in stone constructions worldwide. See the "ancient stone nubs" found literally worldwide.
-Also see "polygonal stone bricks" seen in the same structures as the nubs all over the world.
-You can also look into lesser known megalithic sites, some of which have even larger, heavier, and more complex stone constructions.
-It seems many of these buildings had something to do with the stars, for example Aztecs created pools to reflect the stars for easier mapping, great pyramids line up with Orion's belt, etc...
This list of strange coincidences and unexplainable realities is what makes Graham Hancock so convincing. There is a plethora of evidence to support the notion we are missing major pieces of information from human history.
Yet I'd bet any amount of money the moment you started reading this comment, your little ego immediately put me into the "wackjob idiot conspiracy theorist" compartment even though I've actually provided you with some of the stronger questions we have on this hypothesis.
@muscleman125 So a quick Google search shows you are flat out wrong about "there is ZERO documents about the pyramids being built."
- "While ancient Egyptians did not extensively document the detailed process of building the pyramids within the pyramids themselves, they did leave behind records, primarily in the form of papyri, that provide valuable insights into the construction process, including worker details, quarry operations, and transportation logistics, offering a glimpse into the daily activities of pyramid builders; essentially, they documented aspects of the construction but not in a comprehensive, step-by-step manner."
They have found these papyri documents near the red Sea. We actually know quite a bit about where the stones came from, which quarries, and how they got there.
People really need to stop just regurgitating what Graham says because it sounds cool. Look up info for yourself. Look for counter arguments from real scientists. Look into debunking videos on Grahams claims (there are plenty).
Graham is legit. History will show him as being an important catalyst for opening the minds of ego heavy scientists.
He's a fraud. he's a junkie. He's a snake oil selling charlatan.
Why would anyone take this guys seriously and his completely baseless theories
Cultist have to cult. If you've spent all that money on his fraudulent books then you have to keep going.
Because all of you "logical thinkers" are going around shitting on everybody and not actually trying to counter anything he says.
Literally not a single one of you people has actually tried to legitimately discredit him. All you morons do is call him a racist, a grifter, an idiot, etc....
You just hear some talking head on your screen say "Science says this" and you run with it because you aren't capable of free thought.
I was fascinated by graham and still am but purely for entertainment. I just started following some real archeologists and it’s equally entertaining how they debunk almost everything graham says. It’s very entertaining to see both sides of the information.
A lot of what those 'real' archeologists have said has been de bunked too. Changing the minds of academics is almost impossible, could you imagine spending your career on something, becoming classed as an expert in the area all for someone to come along a say there maybe another explanation, the realization your career and standing maybe based on nonsense is not an attractive one, so they do all they can to make sure the story doesn't change. This is why Galileo spent the end of his life in house arrest for making the claim that the earth orbits the sun.
Can you imagin nasa seeing a booster being caught by chop sticks.
Oof

Dribble uses lies to debunk an these smart "uni trained" archaeologists are good at fooling lay people. These same believed the clovis model as biblical for most of their careers.

Falsifying is part of the scientific endeavor.
Make false claims belongs to the pseudo-intelligentsia.
Almost everything?
EVERYTHING!
Makes me mad that nobody wrote down and passed down the story on how them things were built, when and who built them.
Everything that Graham is saying I've heard him say probably 20 different times over 20 years. He just made another cycle of podcast and they're all saying exact the same thing as he said 5 years ago when he did Joe Rogan

Why put your money on the guy who attends alien conventions and says wild shit, instead of the consensus of educated geologists who disagree with him?
Here's a thought... What if the Sphinx is very very old and ended up buried under the sand with only the head sticking out. Over time erosion made it sort of a roughly head-shaped lump but the new inhabitants didn't know that it went deeper. We look at our own mountains and hills and imagine they look like something. We even name them Camelback or birds head peak... So what if the new inhabitants saw this lump there and thought it looked like something and without knowing that it was an entire lion underneath, they simply carved it into the head of their pharaoh like the man who carved Mount Rushmore saw the heads of Presidents in the Rock? And perhaps it was only later discovered that there was an entire lion's body under the sand?

Graham doesn't argue any facts and he admits that himself, he merely is bringing awareness to a possibility. We to this date, don't have evidence of any civilization beyond Gobleki tepe 12000 years ago.
The fact you've completely changed your entire world view and have more conviction than Hancock speaks for itself
I understand though! He speaks with pure conviction and confidence when he himself has few convictions! Very apparent when he speaks with such confidence about topics and methods nobody alive is positive about! Like how the pyramids were constructed!
@JacobLee-o6s Not really. Bc of his research, I've expanded my beliefs. I've read "The Epic of Gilgamesh", studied Bible passages, studied astronomy, geology & many, many ancient cultures & their beliefs & myths & customs. I absolutely believe we've been here on this planet way longer than the mainstream academics would have us believe. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that I changed my entire world view.

He drives me nuts with his weird British phrasing
Could it just have been a water feature?
Suppose the Sphinx was initially built in the shape of a lion. Some suggest it could have aligned with the constellation Leo during a different astronomical age, possibly the "Age of Leo" (approximately 10,500 BCE), when the constellation would have risen just before dawn at the spring equinox. This would add symbolism to the statue's design if it was intended to represent the lion at a time when the constellation Leo was dominant in the sky. However, such a connection is speculative, as constellations and their symbolic meanings likely developed much later.
Where did they get this knowledge from?
The Sphinx being 12,000 years old is ridiculous because there was nothing else like it at that stage in mankind's development and nothing similar for thousands of years afterwards. It would be like the Romans (who were great engineers) building the Eiffel Tower. The great pyramids at Giza were the ultimate evolution of hundreds of years of tomb building, arising from simple mastabas to the first 'true' Step Pyramid of Djoser. With the evidence of over 100 earlier pyramids in Egypt there is no need to postulate aliens or magic.
Where are the earlier attempts at monumentalism that precede the Sphinx?
That we have found yet. Most of what now is the Sahara desert is not excavated. That area was not a desert 12000 years ago.
The best places to live and thrive 12000 years ago are now under water. As Graham points out in the full podcast, very little underwater arkeologi is done. 99% of it is focuses on finding shipwrecks.
You're right, they're much older.
