That Netflix series Ancient Apocalypse is utterly fascinating. Graham doesn’t believe there were actual giants—just that ancients in most every culture passed on a flood story that also told about giants that could have meant that some survived the sudden flood and helped civilization get back on its feet. To the remainders on earth these “giants” could have meant status or such—or even sturdy healthy people. Gods. Also his compelling evidence threatens archeologists, geologists, anthropologists and all manner of sciences who depend on tenure, publishing, grants, status —everything that the current “narrative” supplies. They turn their backs on new and even blatant evidence in front of their faces. Sound familiar? Joe Rogan has a fascinating long interview with Graham Hancock.
he's opening the door to new perspectives on early man. this not only annoys never-wrong archaeologists and scientists, but it threatens the "out of Africa" theory (that is teetering anyway) and (I think) it puts a new spin on Neandertals as well.
he is doing this because he's a climate apocalyptic, so he's definitely a left-leaning guy. but he's interested, he's smart, and he's questioning. it's a GREAT show.
Loved it. Yup. They can’t stand the challenges. Especially the out of Africa dogma. (Don’t call me racist) I am so intrigued by all this. All my life. I used to comb our library for old dusty archaeology books when I was a kid. Troy! Egypt! Mayans! Crete!
Janet, can you recommend any good reading on the "out of Africa" dogma? Consider me completely naive on the topic (apart from watching a movie with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford :)).
I have heard Graham Hancock discuss the importance of freedom of movement and free speech. He also didn't fall for the covid lies. He may be as left leaning as current day Tulsi is. . .which is freedom oriented populist.
He’s talking that we on earth are factually in the way of space born debris—that landed on our ice glaciers with a sudden multiple impacts about 12,800 years ago. These caused monstrous floods that scoured everything clean floods. Clear evidence in the northwestern states like Montana. Other planets, heck, our own is pock marked. Dinosaurs gone? There could have been other advanced civilizations. This caused melt within a short period of time. That is climate change. We are exposed to such climate changing realities every day just in orbit or the occasional axis wobble. Who cares if he’s left or right. Must we tribalize every thought or science to right or left? Most other scientists of every stripe have closed their eyes. That’s how it happens—why we are in this dire situation. Cheers.
I like your comment. I personally think chickens are definitely related to the dinosaurs, lol, I love my chickens, but they are brutal! I see them eat mice (live or dead) and dead grown quail (never live). They will all chase the chicken carrying the dead small animals in hopes of snatching it for themselves.
Only 8 people survived the flood. Noah and his wife and their 3 sons and their wives. There is only one true living God, Amighty God, the triune God, the creator of aLL things, our Redeemer.
I don’t believe God has revealed all of his creation to us. Who are we to know all God has done. Certainly not with our own eyes. and our own man put together scripture, the Holy Word has been messed with to also support some narratives. Man can’t help it. It seems scripture was a pick and choose operation back in the day. I am comfortable with it took Millennia of Gods work through Jesus—the Word and time which is nothing to God. I’m comfortable with an evolution of sorts and the Big Bang. It only reinforces the staggering can’t even put into words so inadequate to even think of the Mystery of God around me. The Bible supports a re-creation of earth after the wars with the angels in the beginning. I await His return. I simply find these ruins and stuff interesting and traces of Gods wonderful creation—human and non human. It all tells the story of US—His beloved children and the home he has gifted us. God Bless Julie Ann. May Christ’s birth we celebrate bring comfort and peace and hope.
The Bible is God’s Word to us, written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the source of truth for Christians. It is inspired by God, it is without error and is the sole authority for life.
Yes. The fact that man has no doubt tampered with it does not concern me after accepting Christ. It’s not a deal breaker. Do you believe the earth is only 6 thousand years old? That says God is a deceiver and He is not. Look at psalms? Filled with metaphor and poetry. Poetry and metaphor are not always literal but educates and reveals the all encompassing God and His relationship with you and me. I am spiritually educated by the stories. Spiritually enriched and brought closer to God. Don’t you find it interesting with just the fact that ancient cultures who could not have known Christ have a flood story and a recreation? They used that in their own spiritual reaching to appeal to a higher power and try to understand why they exist. They had some deep spiritual sense even then. God will reveal himself to them as well when Christ returns. That is the living God and timeless Christ I experience. Blessings.
Lol, you are saying God is deceiver because he made a 6,000 year old earth look older than that? Do you know what 6,000 years old looks like? Do you know there’s no verifiable way to prove the theory of carbon dating?
Nope. But He gave us brains to figure things out dude. Of course he could have flipped a finger to make anything he wanted but maybe he didn’t. I find the ancient quality that he had always been here comforting and awesome. Perhaps the real deceiver wants us to question what is in front of our very eyes. The Deceiver is doing a great job right now isn’t he. But you do you. We will know more later.
I’m a PhD neuroscientist but also believer in Christ and His redeeming grace offered through his sacrificial death. Janet, I appreciate your words!!
All through school, I was just amazed at how BIG God is and how little we really understand. You should check out the podcast Blurry Creatures, if you haven’t already.

💬 he's a climate apocalyptic, so he's definitely a left-leaning guy
No one is perfect, but some more than others 😏

Exactly,
He’s talking that we on earth are factually in the way of space born debris—that landed on our ice glaciers with a sudden multiple impacts about 12,800 years ago.

Of course God has always been here. You can keep that comfort.
You are the one questioning what is in front of your very eyes.

Also check on youtube: White Giants of the New World - ROBERT SEPEHR.
Sub to his channel as Robert Sepehr has a lot of cool alternative explanations for human migrations.
Ooooh. Thanks!
Darn it. I had canceled Netflix, but now I am intrigued.
It’s on my Watch List!
