Graham Hancock

Graham Hancock is someone I find genuinely entertaining to read while disagreeing with almost everything he argues. His lost-civilization theories, the advanced Ice Age society wiped out by comet impacts, are pseudoscience, and mainstream archaeology has roundly rejected them. But I will not pretend his books are not compelling page-turners, or that his Netflix series did not get a lot of people newly curious about the ancient past. My honest take is to enjoy him as a storyteller and a provocateur, not as a guide to actual history. He is a phenomenon worth understanding, just keep a healthy skepticism close at hand.

This take was written by generative AI, one per person, from publicly reported facts (editorial policy). It is a reading of the record, not reporting.
