I don't believe Aliens built the pyramids. But I do believe there were ancient civilizations that we have lost historical record of, due to some kind of catastrophe.

The Netflix deal is legit archaeology. It's very interesting.

I have no clue about the stuff Spiderman posted but given his history it's probably a bunch of garbage about aliens and he's spamming the thread.

If you've never listened to Joe Rogen's podcast interviews with Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson, I highly recommend doing do. There is now no doubt in my mind that there was a cataclysmic event around 12,000 years ago that wiped out the ancient civilizations of the time, a couple of which were likely more advanced than previously thought. I'm not talking industrial or electrical or anything like that, just that these civilizations were further ahead than we believed civilizations to be at the time. Then, what is assumed to be a meteor or asteroid hit, causing massive flooding, flooding that may very well have inspired the legends of Noah and equivalents found in nearly every major religion. But Hancock and Carlson both also believe that the pyramids are way older than the current "expert" opinions, and offer compelling reasons as to why (for the record, same as you, neither I nor do they believe that aliens built the pyramids). Regardless, it's kind of crazy to think that if whatever (potentially) happened 12,000 years ago *didn't* happen, we might be hundreds if not thousands of years more advanced than we are now. It basically caused a reset of humanity.

I've watched several of his documentaries.
The "answer" or "proof" is always just arms length away, but he never has it.

He had one documentary on the holy grail, and he "traced" it to a church in Ethiopia. But the church was guarded and sacred so he couldn't get in to "prove" it. What bad luck.

His flood theory assumes every single piece of evidence was wiped out, even though we find spears and other artifacts from many centuries earlier. The oldest artifact in the US is over 16k years old if I remember right. And in the Middle East they go back 100k years with a pretty clear chain of anthropological development. But this one magical civilization to prove his theory is missing? What bad luck.

There is actually documentation from Egypt about when and why the pyramids were created, there is zero mystery there.

There are some interesting theories on how old the Sphinx is based on potential water erosion on it, but again, zero evidence of pre-Egyptian society exists and just about every Egyptologist considers it way out of the realm of real science.

But yeah, as a history major stuff like this both fascinates me and frustrates me. It's romantic to think of the possibilities, but zero evidence supports them. He makes money off of that grey area - his theories can't be proven true, but they can't truly be proven wrong either. I don't begrudge him for it, just don't respect him as anything other than a showman. He's a more benign version of a JFK assassination conspiracist..

/nerd rant.

There is growing evidence that there was an impact +/- 12k years ago that ended the ice age.

Hancock may be a kook, but he is the proverbial blind hog finding an acorn on the Younger-Dryas impact event. The problem is that he uses stuff like this to advance his more radical theories.

I definitely believe there is much out there to be discovered & that humans were more advanced long ago than we previously realized. It's now generally accepted the Americas may have been settled as long ago as 30,000 years... pretty cool stuff.

Well, a quick wiki search says built between 1250 and 1500 a.d. I don't see any mention of alternate theories for time of construction

This netflix show is legit, right? Not conspiracy nonsense?
