The current Netflix hit Ancient Apocalypse features stunning high-quality panoramic images of amazing places, historical and archaeological sites, on different continents—on land, under it, and underwater—places you and I will probably never visit in person. Graham Hancock, the author who hosts the show and on whose ideas it is based, delivers an engaging presentation. The show’s main contention is both interesting and fun: mainstream science is wrong, human civilization is much older than usually accepted by historians and archaeologists, and scientists are, of course, too career-invested, stubborn, and full of themselves to admit it. At face value, the well-spoken Hancock seems to deserve a chance to make his case.
