Not gonna lie, I’m a big fan of Grahams ideas, not so much Graham the personality. I really want his ideas to be true. He got pwned by the fag.

Makes ya wonder what the CCP is hiding from the world

You would think if you’ll be on a video that millions of people will watch you would buy a shirt that fits.

He mentioned in a posting that he was fighting cancer again, so may have had a large weight loss during treatment.

Fat fucking goofy redditor knows a shit ton about human history but couldn't tell you what pussy feels like I guarantee it.

Have you ever been a grad student on a dig?

wtf is flint dibble.

Gobekli Tepe was a Zoo. Either just prior to or just after the great flood.

Graham's schtick has always been to posit ridiculous concepts without evidence and then cry oppression when anyone asks him to back anything up.  It's tiresome, and I can't understand why some find it so compelling.

Just how much evidence do you think is going to be left after 10k+ years and a world-resetting catastrophe? If that happened, and I believe it did, pretty much the only thing  that is going to be left is megalithic stone structures — which cannot be carbon dated. I am of the mind that the megalithic work was done for that exact purpose, because the resetting of earth happened before and whomever built them wanted them to withstand the next one.

He looks like he's wearing daddy's suit to play work.

As entertaining philosophy- It is fun to postulate about cycling rounds of intelligent life on earth. It puts in perspective how long the earth has fostered and maintained multicellular lifeforms.

Similar to the notion that there is likely a planet somewhere in the vastness of the universe that has nurtured intelligent life.

You can believe anything you like, but if you want anyone else to take your idea seriously you really do need some evidence.

Where’s the evidence of how the pyramids were constructed? There isn’t any. So how is it that the academics can make assumptions and it’s okay, but when Graham does it, he needs to present the evidence?

Mind you, these same people telling Graham to present the evidence are the same ones proclaiming all the insane granite sculpting was done with brass and copper chisels — or better yet, pounding stones.

Yes, there is.  The ancient aliens crowd doesn't like it though.

Graham sells dreams and fantasies and business is a booming.

35 minutes in, budget indiana jones is afraid to look at hancock.

https://precision-marble.com/can-you-cut-granite-with-copper/

I've been to the quarries and seen the tool marks, have you?

I am more referring to the really impressive stuff. So you believe those granite (and harder stone) vases with narrow necks were made with copper/brass chisels? When the tolerances in deviation of its construction is measured in thousandths of an inch? I do not claim to know how this was done, but it’s a hell of a reach to say that was done with copper/brass chisels.

He is unemployable being a huge dbag i had never heard of before.
Therefore as someone with no real income, he has to buy all his clothes from a second hand shop, and they used to belong to some dead guy.  So he had no good clothes but moth eaten and patchouli stained tshirts for his big podcast appearance,

So he lost his sense of style and humility to chemo but not his hair?

The og shovelbum in me is having a good chuckle so far. And I haven't even started to listen to the podcast.

Yes, I believe those vases were probably cut rough with arsenical copper tools and then sanded/polished to shape. There are cruder Naqqadan examples of them made before those entombed with Djoser (the most famous ones), that show the growth and development of the art.  We have some examples of their tools, cores from the tube drills they used, and artistic depictions of the craftsmen working on them.

Now can we leave behind the whataboutism?  Google can answer these questions for you too.  A lot of the "it's impossible for them to have.." is uninformed or misinformed speculation.

I've listened to the entire thing today while working. Flint is a little bitch. Graham didn't win any argument imho, but the Flint laughing constantly, and then pulling the racism, and all the other ism's, is a total cuck move

Do you feel that the carved stones were transported via reed boats and canals?

Finished it last night. While I dislike the funny hat kid because of his woke bullshit he completely dismantled almost all of Graham's arguments and made a very good evidence based case for there not being a large advanced ice age civilization that was wiped out.

It’s all speculation. Nobody knows 100%. The ancient Egyptians very well could have set up shop and started inhabiting the area where some of that already existed. When you consider that most of the megalithic and super impressive stuff is affiliated with the old kingdom and somehow gets progressively worse as time goes on, it kind of looks as if they did stumble upon a lot it.

Not reed, probably wood, but yes by the river and canals during the flooding season.

Man I was on team Graham going into this but it really piled up.  

Mountain of evidence that ice age people were all hunter gatherers. At most lived in some large communities taking advantage of very fertile areas .  Allowing a bit of dabling into arts and structure maybe even noticing astrology because food was plenty without farming  vs "but you have looked under every stone in every corner of the sea ?". He even had graham somewhat admitting that at best there may have been hunter gatherers that had some astrology knowledge.  Pretty far from his past assumptions and claims.  

Hunter gatherer Virgo? Haha

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_monoliths

Take a look at the lists of stones quarried and stones moved.  The unfinished obelisk, Ramses statue, and colossi of "memnon" were all new kingdom.  

Why no more nearly perfect diorite vases?  No idea, but I'll offer this.. In 2000 years, let's say a researcher unearths a spotless 1953 Bel Air, then he digs up k-car after k-car after k-car, and then piles of 90's civics (some still running, can't kill them.)  This is his only reference.  He's not going to look at that record and necessarily see improvement.  

"You used 16th and 19th century sources, which are racist."

The thing is, if Graham was paying attention and caring about getting science right instead of just puffing up his media empire, he would've known all of that.  Is he even interested in archaeology beyond his theories?  His followers sure aren't.

Also: wtf is “Handcock”

You know what's disappointing is how poorly google works nowdays.  I haven't researched all this because I don't care that much but always found Graham's theory fun and interesting.  Never really bought the idea that a technology society would have existed that near without evidence but maybe some kind of big primitive farming society.

I briefly googled things here and there and mostly found dumb media articles and just went about my day.   I remember in it's early days just googling something like ice age man kind or ore history or something would bring up lists of real documents like that rather than media stories .    
I'm hoping AI will fix that if there remains a non programmed AI option. Where if you want to learn something the AI will be able to local real and specific information lists like that.

I think google is actually making people dumber because they believe media stories are evidence and that's all you can easily find in most search engines

Nope.....Flint is a know it all

Yeah people keep trying to out that on graham, thats more Randal Carlson that get's all caught up in weird vibrations stuff.

Graham did come out and say that he believes in some kind of psionic or extradimensional human capabilities.  But he's never tried to assert that it is related to a lost civilization.  He's clearly said that they were "relatively advanced" but definitely did not have what we would consider modern technology.  Putting a few things together, he seems to say that they had advanced astronomical knowledge, but nothing like computers or space travel or probably any kind of steam engine or large scale metalworking.

I haven't used this yet:

Ignore the "PKM Machinegun."  That's just something I was going to search when I copied the link.

that's what I am talking about....you are correct. Hancock says things that are plausible.

We need to remember that prior to the 1990s....majority of scientist said there were no exoplanets and any one who thought so were foolish.

TESS shut that debate down...we have a shit load of exoplanets in the universe.

Those vases are seriously perplexing. Let’s say for a second that a person can create one of those nearly perfect vases using their hands and copper chisels and pounding rocks, that would be one hell of a special individual and it would take forever to complete one of them.

Problem is, there were 10’s of thousands of them apparently. I just cannot see a situation where you have that many people capable or the time to pull that off. Then there is the fact that why would you expend that kind of time/labor to create vases/bowls made out of the hardest stone on earth for that purpose? It doesn’t make any sense.

So what you're saying is that NASA created vast numbers of exoplanets and at the documented rate of discovery, the universe will fill with them in about twenty years.

List of all of the papers that I could find copies of online.  May have missed some, but should be 55 papers listed.

It kinda does though.  I believe we have lost a lot of hand working techniques from dead societies.  Humans are smart.  A technique could have been invented and a few hundred people who learned it over a generation or two could have made their entire living cranking out this amazing object or building technique 12 hours a day creating hundreds or thousands of them until a better or more practical item or method took over.   With stone works many of those items will survive.    We think omg they must have had a machine.  No way they could make a thousand of these without it. When in truth over a hundred years a hundred people making them all day every day could easily do that.  They had nothing better to do with their time if their society thrived with agriculture.   Much like today having special skills probably made primitive people wealthier in their society.   They could trade their works for whatever they want. So there's motivation to make amazing things and learn techniques.  

Look at what modern society created over the last 50 years.  It's not unreasonable that over a thousand years of stone workers there'd be a handful doing amazing things .

I don't know if I will get around to listening to this. The main reason I enjoy listening to and watching Graham is because it's clear that he loves his work so much and he covers interesting things that aren't well known. The other reason is that I absolutely believe that the current system is corrupt because we see it in so many things. The system doesn't like to be challenged and I seem to find myself rooting for the underdog. Academia is corrupt just like politics. They don't like being challenged and embarrassed because it threatens their ability to control the narrative and keep their system in place.

It seems like there are constantly discoveries that challenge mainstream ideas about when and where people were and what they were capable of. I just wish that all institutions were really about spreading knowledge for everyone.

that's absolutely true....where I grew up trawl nets and all nets were made by hand, everyone who fished knew how to make a net. had to if your net tore out in the marsh you had to fix it out there.

Now...I know maybe 5 people total that can make a net and they aren't teaching anyone new. In 50 years. There will be no more net makers where I grew up
