For anyone who’s interested: the podcast on JRE between Graham Hancock and Flint Dibble is very interesting. I’ve been waiting for more than a year on it.
Hancock with the hypothesis that a advanced and now lost civilisation existed during the last ice age, Dibble debating it from a hard science point of view. It’s a 4 hour conversation so it’s quite long.
Personally I like Hancocks view, because it speaks to the imagination, but I’m not in a position to deny hard science either. Simply due to the fact that so little has been excavated (Amazon, Sahara, underwater) im still on the fence. And it’s not like nothing has been done, the numbers aren’t even that low, but in percentages you’re speaking about less than 5% for all in the above named places.
