That is why Ancient Apocalypse Season 1 was defined as the most dangerous show on Netflix. It's why the Society for American Archaeology wrote an open letter to Netflix asking Netflix to reclassify the series as science fiction. It's why they accused the series of anti-Semitism, misogyny, white supremacism, and a whole, I don't know, a whole bunch of other things.

There's nothing to do with anything that's in the series. It was... It was like, we must shut this down. This is so dangerous to us. Certainly not a danger. There are many more dangerous things in the world than a television series going on right now.

But maybe it was seen as a danger to archaeology, that this non-archaeologist was in archaeological terrain and being viewed and seen and read by large numbers of people. Maybe that was part of the problem. And human nature being what it is,

I noticed that two of my principal critics, John Hoopes from the University of Kansas and Flint Dibble, who's now teaching at the University of Cardiff in Wales in the UK, are both people who like to have media exposure. And John Hoopes had just recently started his YouTube channel. Flint Dibble has had one for decades. for quite a while, a pretty small number of followers.

I think that they feel that they should be the ones who are getting the global attention and that it's not right that I am and that the best way to stop that is to stop me, to shut me down, to get me cancelled, and basically requiring Netflix to relabel my series from a documentary to a science fiction, which is what they actually had the temerity to suggest to Netflix.

If that had gone through, if Netflix had listened to them, that would have effectively been the cancellation of my documentary series. It would no longer have been ranked under documentary. So it was a deliberate attempt to to shut me down. And I see that going on again and again. And it's so unfortunate and so unnecessary. I've become very defensive towards archaeology.

I hit back after 30 years of these attacks on my work. I'm tired of it. And I do defend myself. And sometimes I'm perhaps over-vigorous in that defense. Maybe I was a little bit too strong in my critique of archaeology in the first season of Ancient Apocalypse. Maybe I should have been a bit gentler and a bit kinder.

And I've tried to reflect that in the second season and to bring also many more indigenous voices into the second season, as well as the voices of many more archaeologists.
