I thought it was cool, yeah.

It was interesting. I mean, I think something needed to be done, but I don't know if it was essential. I mean, it's fine. I mean, the academics are going to kind of challenge people like Graham Hancock because he's so popular. I mean, his stuff's... I mean, I think Graham's overall...

Oh, they did. I mean, they did. They did back in the 90s. I mean, we had this, I think it was a Panorama TV show in England, tried to completely destroy Graham Hancock in one fell swoop.

No, no, no, they didn't. They just destroyed his TV series.

Yeah, but then the problem is he actually, I think he then ended up challenging them and suing them because they lied about things. Graham sued them? Yeah, so it got really messy. And so he's been challenged all along. Now it's just become because of social media, people can see it more. And so I don't think it's changed. I think he's... I got a lot of time for Graham.

I think what he's done over the years, he's pushing stuff out into now the mainstream, which I think is really important. He's putting Gobekli Tepe on, you know, helping put Gobekli Tepe on the map. The Younger Dryas hypothesis on the map is pushing forward, you know, the sophistication of the ancients and things like this. And this really wasn't addressed very well before that.

not really you know so he was to me he's like the pioneer who pushed forward and because i think he was hitting some truths quite a lot of truths in his work he's going to get challenged for that because it frustrates the archaeologists and the academics who have their own version of it which is much more mundane and simple he made it
