2) I was also curious about this guy Graham Hancock, and if anyone here on the forum had heard of him. There are so many wannabe "authorities" out there, and many of them just seem to be promoting themselves and selling books, but every now and then someone comes along calling attention to discrepancies in the accepted general knowledge base.
i've heard of him and some of his theories yeah...it's mostly pseudoarcheology but the three sites mentioned in his video are legit results, not twisted to fit a theory. there are many more pre-clovis sites though. the new book he's promoting seems to want to build a theory that human civilization started in the americas, which would have a big problem accounting for so many different early homo species and sites found elsewhere and none in the americas though.
