In a Netflix series called Ancient Apocalypse, British writer Graham Hancock presents the theory of pseudo-archaeology. The theory suggests that an advanced civilization existed around 12,000 years ago, was destroyed by a meteorite impact, and passed on their knowledge to hunter-gatherer peoples around the world, leading to the emergence of early civilizations.
Hancock visits various archeological sites and natural features, claiming that they prove his theory, while accusing archaeologists of ignoring or covering up this evidence. However, mainstream scientists do not believe in Hancock’s theory, arguing that it cannot be true. The series has the potential to inspire others to explore the topic further, but should not be treated as fact without scientific evidence.
