That there's much to support that argument, particularly in the form of the Falashas, the Ethiopian Jews, and their very ancient traditions about how they got to Ethiopia in the first place. In context of all of that, I think Ethiopia has a very good claim, very interesting claim, and that's why I wrote a book about it.

Yeah. Well, let's not forget that one of the world's best known flood myths also comes from the Bible, which is the flood of Noah, which again is part of this worldwide tradition of which I am absolutely convinced Atlantis should be understood as a part of that worldwide tradition of a global flood and the loss of a former civilization.

And again, it's one of the reasons why I've done the work I've done over these years.

Yes, definitely. I have learned from the criticisms of archaeologists. And one of the first things that became very clear to me, and they're absolutely right, is we need more indigenous voices in this series. And that's what we've made sure to do. We have an amazing archaeologist, indigenous archaeologist from Easter Island.

We spent quite a bit of time filming in Easter Island and it's a strong... This series doesn't do country by country episodes. It's all merged together. Different bits of the story come together in each episode. But a good chunk of it is on Easter Island. And there, Sonia Hoa Cardinale is an indigenous Easter Islander. Her married name is Cardinale because she married an Italian guy.

And she gave us incredible material on Easter Island. And she revealed that she and her team have found what are called banana phytoliths. Now, phytoliths are a minute part of the banana plant. They've excavated them from a crater in Easter Island, and they found that those are 3,000 years old. Now, this is interesting for two reasons. Firstly, bananas do not propagate naturally.

You can't get bananas to Easter Island without human beings bringing them there. That's how they got there. And secondly, the date that she's found 3,000-year-old banana phytoliths in Easter Island blows out of the water the notion that Easter Island was only settled 1,000 years ago or less, which is the current idea of archaeology. Again and again, we've had indigenous…
