Ancient Mysteries

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I finally listened to the whole debate and i think shermer and (i forgot his name) the writer that published the article criticizing hancock were more interested in proving hancock wrong than actually discussing the posibilities. The one comment he made about Australian Aborigine being able to learn to fly planes totally proved hancocks point and proved to me atleast they werent being open minded

David R David R beat me to it, I was just going to suggest this to you J jaws7777 . It's an endlessly fascinating subject.

How did you guys think Michael Shermer came across? Seems like he just wanted to be right and was speaking in very general tones. It's interesting how a lack of a evidence of an ancient advanced civilization is in a way evidence of an advanced ancient civilization.

That's how I felt too, they came off as more interested in proving themselves right.

Did you listen to the earlier podcasts with both Hancock and Carlson? The debate was the first one I listened to with them on it and it was nice to actually be able to hear out their ideas without Shermer butting in.

No i didnt was it on rogans show ?
 
Yeah it was on Rogan's. Definitely worth listening to, they might even be on another time as well.
 
I think Hancock and Carlson have done two JRE podcasts each, and at least a couple each individually.

I agree Shermer came across as just wanting to be right. I don't agree with his logic that (at least in an archaeological sense) a lack of evidence is proof that something didn't exist/happen. Even when confronted with the evidence of how easily that can go wrong, with what the discovery of Gobekli Tepe has done for the established timeline of the development of civilisation, he seemed unwilling to admit that the ideas Hancock was putting across are at the very least plausible (and certainly not disproven).

Agreed. Add that and the fact that they basically had to walk back and re write most of the article they wrote about hancock and it completely shatters any credibility they had
