What if everything you've been taught about human origins is only the beginning of the story – and far from the whole truth?
In this episode, we dive into author Graham Hancock's radical challenge to mainstream archaeology. Hancock calls humanity a "species with amnesia." He believes an advanced civilisation existed long before the first city-states of Mesopotamia – and that it was wiped out in a global cataclysm around 12,800 years ago.
We travel from the pyramids of Giza, which Hancock argues are astronomical clocks set to a distant past, to the 11,600-year-old megalithic complexes in Turkey. We cross the Atlantic to find the same cosmological patterns among Native Americans in Alabama. We explore genetic mysteries in the Amazon, asking why isolated tribes carry DNA from Australia and Papua New Guinea.
Finally, we ask the uncomfortable question: If a civilisation could vanish before us, could our own suffer the same fate?
