The Hidden Truth About Ancient Technology They Don't Want You to Know | Graham Hancock DSH #902

Last week, nice.

71.341 - 82.208 Host

Did they come after you again? Oh, they're coming out to me all the time. They come out to me all the time. There's a faction within archaeology, and it's only a faction. There are many great archaeologists who I hugely respect and admire.

82.768 - 103.675 Host

But there's a faction within archaeology that seem to believe that they own the past, that the past is their personal property, and that anybody who doesn't have their qualifications and isn't actually an archaeologist really has no right to speak about the past. But it's okay if that person speaks about the past the way they do, if it buys into their line.

104.155 - 109.317 Host

But if you present an opposite point of view or an alternative point of view, they come down on you like a ton of bricks.

109.628 - 113.929 Host

It reminds me of history class in high school. If you questioned what they were teaching, you would get punished.

553.195 - 574.025 Host

It's a normal part of comet behavior. They're rocky masses bound together with ice. And as they come close to something warm like the sun, the ice begins to melt and they start to break up into many, many different pieces. Some of them may be quite small. Some of them might be the size of a house. Some of them might be five kilometers in diameter.

575.706 - 597.078 Host

And it looks like the Earth ran through the debris stream of a disintegrating comet and By and large, there were not massive impacts. The research suggests that there were some impacts on the North American ice cap. And the shock and heat of those impacts was what released that meltwater suddenly into the world ocean.

597.959 - 619.314 Host

But others were smaller but equally devastating because you're talking about thousands of these things. And what happens with a smaller bit of a comet, if it's, say, 150 meters in diameter, Not that small, actually, but if it's 150 meters in diameter, it probably won't reach the Earth. It'll blow up in the sky. So it's like a nuclear bomb going off in the sky up above you.

619.334 - 649.538 Host

And, you know, we have a recent example of, well, recent, 1908, June the 30th, 1908, over... called the Tunguska event. There was a massive airburst of a cometary fragment, and that flattened 2,000 square miles of trees in a totally uninhabited area of Siberia. If that had been over a major city, the death toll would have been horrendous. Wow, just from one comet?

650.238 - 670.286 Host

Just from one bit of one comet, just 150 meters in diameter, that blowing up in the sky is absolute catastrophe. It's not a global kill event, but a series of them all around the world is what I and my colleagues believe led to this die off of the megafauna and this interruption, this punctuation mark.

901.34 - 907.365 Host

Is there a way to predict where the debris is going to land? No, no, no, not, not. So you'd have to react quick then.

908.006 - 927.921 Host

Well, there's a way, there's a way to predict that we are going to encounter a particularly lumpy and nasty bit of the torrid meteor stream. And the astronomers who've worked on this believe that that is going to happen within the next 30 years. So there is still time to do something about it. And, I don't want to spread gloom and doom. Maybe it won't happen at all.

928.381 - 939.105 Host

But there are many threats to life on planet Earth, of which probably the most significant is humanity itself. We're a kind of suicidal species with this...

940.626 - 969.391 Host

terrible hatred and anger that's that's spreading around the world right now but you know we have the technology we have the funds and we could deal with this other problem the problem posed by the torrid meteor stream if we if we choose to do so if we were perhaps to say let's spend less money on creating weapons of mass destruction to murder one another with and let's spend a bit more money on protecting this precious garden of a planet we could do it absolutely we would all need to come together though right

969.67 - 989.939 Host

We would all need to come together. And it's high time human beings did that. You know, I love the diversity of human cultures. That's one of the great things about humanity. There's so many different cultures, and I honor and value that diversity. But having spent most of my working life traveling widely around the world and living in a number of different countries...

990.719 - 1007.994 Host

it's become very clear to me that at a fundamental level, all human beings are essentially the same. We have the same hopes, the same fears, the same dreams. We all love our kids in the same way. We all enjoy a good meal. We all want to make something of our lives. This is true whatever culture you come from.

1008.014 - 1029.848 Host

And the things that divide us, in my view, are much less significant than the things that unite us. And we need to recognize that. And we can recognize that without sacrificing a single bit of the diversity of humanity. We can celebrate that, but we can find ways that we can work together. And above all, to stop this current of hatred that's running in the world right now.

1029.948 - 1055.202 Host

It's a very disturbing thing. I think that what's happened is that people have forgotten how horrific the Second World War was. I was born in 1950. So that was just five years after the end of the Second World War. And it hung over me in my childhood. Everybody remembered it. It was very, very, nobody wanted to go there again. But as the decades have passed, the memory of that horror has gone.

1055.222 - 1081.093 Host

And I don't think people are fully aware what a nuclear exchange would do to our civilization, to this world. earth that we live on that is our home, a nuclear exchange, we are quite capable of wiping ourselves out. And the only way to solve it is to have a rise in consciousness amongst humanity in general.

1081.294 - 1098.299 Host

The problem is when you look at the people who are leading the world right now, these are low consciousness individuals. I can't think of a single leader anywhere in the world who I would even want to pass the time of day with. They're filled with their own ego and their own quest for power.

1256.152 - 1259.112 Host

I love that. And I agree. But today, critical thinking is punished.

1259.692 - 1281.16 Host

Oh, God. Critical thinking is hugely punished. There's a sort of follow the mass kind of idea, you know. And the powers that be, particularly academic elites, seem to feel that the public is stupid. And they seem to feel that the public must be told what to think.

1281.681 - 1299.021 Host

And it's most unfortunate that large numbers of members of the public are accepting to be told what to think and aren't thinking for themselves. But we have all the potential for a growth of consciousness in the world. I do see it happening. I do see more and more people waking up. I do see that happening. But maybe not fast enough.

1299.505 - 1307.268 Host

Yeah. I think the tides are turning. I mean, your show's still on Netflix, so that's good. They didn't cancel you. They didn't get me canceled. No, no.

1307.408 - 1319.892 Host

And that was because people all around the world voted for the show by watching it. Nice. Regardless of what the academics said. Yeah. And seems to be happening with season two as well. It's doing very well at the moment.

1697.732 - 1721.481 Host

That geometers were at work in the building of the Great Pyramid. The monument is incredibly accurate. It's aligned within just a tiny fraction of true astronomical north. Wow. To do that... on a monument that has a footprint of more than 13 acres is quite an achievement. So it is an incredible place, and I would like to dive into those mysteries. I tend to do so.

1721.501 - 1739.411 Host

I have done it already in some of my books, but I'd like to dive deeper, particularly now that we know that there are so many unexplored spaces inside the Great Pyramid. The Great Sphinx, fascinating structure. The weathering patterns on the side of the Sphinx suggest that it's much older than the Fourth Dynasty.

1739.451 - 1752.444 Host

The Fourth Dynasty is roughly 2500 BC, but at some point in its life, the Great Sphinx was exposed to about a thousand years of very heavy rain. And that rain didn't fall in Egypt in the last 5,000 years.

1752.564 - 1769.695 Host

You have to go back to, guess when, the Younger Dryas, when the Sahara was humid and wet, when there were lakes, when there were rivers in the Sahara, to find the kind of rainfall that could have caused that erosion on the Sphinx. So the whole place is just absolutely fascinating, but so much more.

1770.275 - 1801.919 Host

There's a temple called the Temple of Horus at Edfu in Upper Egypt, which bears on its walls effectively the whole story of Atlantis as relayed to us by the Greek philosopher Plato. And Plato said in the dialogues called the Timaeus and Critias, He said that the story had been passed down from a Greek lawmaker called Solon, who visited Egypt in around 600 BC.

2337.401 - 2342.403 Host

I agree. Yeah, there's always that divide with science and spirituality too, which I know the cool thing about you is you've dealt with both.

2342.983 - 2374.889 Host

Very much so. I think that's one of the things that's tragically missing in the modern world, particularly a world which is kind of governed by science and has elevated science into a sort of religion. Where scientists are the high priests of that religion. I think we've allowed them to have too much control over the way that we think and have not freed ourselves from that control.

2375.069 - 2397.633 Host

We don't need a religion of science. Science is very useful. It's very helpful. It does some wonderful things. I would not be walking today if it wasn't for science. I've got two replaced hips. I would be paralyzed if it wasn't for science because my disc slipped out. My number five disc slipped out at the age of 32 in Nairobi in Kenya, as a matter of fact.

2398.133 - 2423.835 Host

And it became an immediate acute surgical emergency. I couldn't, I had no feeling in my legs. I lost my legs completely. I couldn't pee. They had to operate on me immediately, but the operation worked. In Kenya? In Kenya. Wow. In 1982. That's impressive. Yeah. It's pretty impressive. Particularly since, although it wasn't recognized then, AIDS was in the blood supply in Kenya in 1982.

2424.015 - 2424.155 Host

Wow.
