Ancient Apocalypse
Just finished watching "Ancient Apocalypse," released by Lionsgate, and is still available, I believe on Netflix, where it first aired.
Now back in December 2013, when I was unemployed and had no real income coming in, I made a "tough" decision to try to economize and cancelled by Comcast Cable TV service. My reasoning was that I had 100s of DVDs I had yet to watch and I rarely watched shows when they aired on TV anyways.
Even after landing a full time job back in 2015, I still kept away from cable television, unless I was watching it from my hotel room, and I still don't subscribe to any of the streaming services.
So if I want to watch a series that aired on a streaming service, that means I have to usually go outside of the Untied States to find it on blu-ray. Fortunately, I can find blu-ray releases of shows I want to see on eBay, and eBay does not allow anyone to sell bootleg copies, at least that is what they say in their guidelines and they do monitor items being sold on their auction site.
Graham Hancock hosts this series which explores his idea that there was an "advanced" civilization that existed near the end of the last ice age and does present his theories and evidence for such a civilization - though keep in mind that he is not saying they were at any level beyond the Stone Age, if this civilization existed.
In the series, Hancock argues that there was an advanced civilization during the last ice age. He speculates that it was destroyed around 12,000 years ago by sudden climate change during the Younger Dryas cool period, but that its few survivors taught agriculture, monumental architecture and astronomy to primitive hunter-gatherers around the world.
Hancock does not accept that the earliest known civilizations could have arisen independently or that faraway peoples developed the same ideas, and argues that they all came from one advanced ice age civilization. He attempts to show how several ancient monuments and myths are evidence of this, and claims that archaeologists are ignoring or covering up this alleged evidence.
It incorporates the controversial Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, which has been comprehensively refuted, and which attributes climate change to an impact winter caused by a massive meteor bombardment.
It's a plausible theory, but Hancock is a journalist, not a scientist, and it should be noted that he does show and give voice to dissenting opinions in his documentary.
History is always rewritten by new discoveries and new interpretations of past evidence, yet Hancock doesn't present hard evidence, just speculative theories.
Strongly Recommended.
Four Stars.
