Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse
Ancient Apocalypse is a multi season docuseries hosted by journalist and author Graham Hancock, known for his unconventional takes on history and archaeology. Hancock explores the idea that an advanced global civilization may have existed during the last Ice Age, thousands of years before mainstream historians believe.
The series is part travelogue, part investigation, and a grand adventure with Hancock visiting stunning ancient sites like Gunung Padang in Indonesia and Derinkuyu in Turkey. He questions whether these places could be remnants of this lost civilization, drawing connections between myths, oral traditions, and cutting-edge geological evidence. His style is passionate, even provocative, as he challenges academic orthodoxy and challenges traditional archaeologists for dismissing alternative theories too quickly.
Visually, the show is captivating, with gorgeous drone shots of ancient ruins and some slick CGI recreations of how these sites might have looked in their prime. However, it’s worth noting that to some, Hancock’s theories are controversial and remain heavily debated even though much of his work is supported by deep research and circumstantial proof.
If you’re a fan of questioning established narratives or simply enjoy a good mystery wrapped in history, Ancient Apocalypse is a fascinating watch. Just go in with an open mind and a hint of skepticism. It’s more about exploring possibilities than proving certainties.
