Hancock is not afraid to at least ask questions and openly question things. I like Hancock. Erase the past to control the future... pretty simple tactic.
"Erase the past to control the future" - sounds cool. Now tell me: How would knowledge about an ice age civilization harm the powers that be? What is their advantage if we don't know? I bet you have no answer.
@@RodriguezFazanatas Wow if you dont consider the ramifications of erasing history and using it to your advantage, then you really don't need get involved into politics cause you really don't get it. Just look at the history of Palestine and Isreal. They have been raised to believe each side is against them. What if they were actually strong allies from 2000 yrs ago and another country erased that history and put in place the current evil in order to split them apart and make it easier to attack either one??? Just using as an example, not saying this happened, buts when you erase history, it would have profound different outcomes for the whole world.
There’s schizoid aspect to this video. Sometimes we hear an interesting history about the Oya Stone Quarry, but every once in a while they show Hancock talking about the mysterious nature of megalithic structures. Then we’re off to Korea to learn about the dolmans littering the landscape. It doesn’t hang together all that well.
I mean honestly, the data points towards a schizoid sounding conclusion, but a weird history is no weirder than now, or any weirder than anything else in this universe- it's more just that it clashes with our established notions in an uncomfortable way. but accepting any truth is rarely comfortable.
How arrogant of us modern era civilizations to assume our ancestors had no technology to support them. They could even have a much more advanced technology than we have now, but everything was lost in time that we can no longer replicate it.
@@wesss6731 Ah yes. That's the main question, isn't it? We don't have to go that far to be honest, just look at damascus steel or anything made all around the Earth during that time period (around 9th~11th century). It's not like they were using a material that we can't access anymore today, right? Let's look back at the keyword from my previous comment, "they could have". I don't know the truth, you don't know as well, in fact nobody knows. It just seems odd to me like someone or something prevented those technology to survive the flow of time. Because i really don't think our ancestors could create all those relics with just rocks and sticks, and limited knowledge about earth's resources.
@@tanekochi in some indian and arabian cities you can find roads paved with failed damascus steel ingots, that's how much was made (and how much wasn't made properly). it's not that we don't know what damascus steel is, or what it's composition, or how to make it. we don't know the exact way it was made, but replicating it is pretty easy using modern metallurgy. it's not even a big deal really. same with many other historical artifacts - they might seem impossible to make, but give a man some time and some tools, and you'll see a result that is similar to historical findings. in case of pyramids for example, many "historians" argue that humans could not have built them. well, look at St.Peterburg's Saint Isaac's Cathedral and its columns. it was built in the middle of 19th century, most tools used would be the same - rope, blocks, saws, hammers, etc. the only difference would be that the tools are made of okay-ish steel, not bronze or copper. and yet that was enough to make columns which are so wide you need several people to hug them, and those were transported from Finland. it just took 40 years to build, that's the secret to these artifacts - time spent building them
It's generally best to ignore most of what Hancock says anyway. He imagines a lot of nonsense to explain what he doesn't understand and presents it as facts. He's not an archeologist. He's a cult leader.
There's a man showing how one person can move enormous, megalithic structures using simple tools, lumber and rocks. Can't remember his name, but he shows pivoting a massive, multi-ton block of stone on a rock, and then using two rocks to walk it across the ground. He also uses blocks of wood to stack and move these massive blocks of stone.
@@jebecob667 No, he only moves 20 ton blocks of stone by himself in his backyard as a hobby, using no heavy equipment. Just sticks and stones. Primitive sh-t. Now, imagine what an entire civilization could do. You idiots count humanity out too easily.
@@jebecob667 In the early 1900s, people on Nias in Indonesia moved massive monoliths up the sides of mountains using only ropes and wooden beams. These stones weighed 300 metric tons. There're photographs of them moving the stones.
He uses a very hard pivoting bearing/stone which in natural stone would score and mark the medium. Excellent demonstration. The level of the surface and its hardness really determines the 'pivot' size and how high it needs to be... 'meet on the level' sort of principle. Megalithic sizes rocks usually all have a very common thing on sights - slopes, and uneven surfaces. Cams and wheels were used, gear ratios were known, and a deep understanding of elements were known. It's quite obvious 'time is money' was a misnomer then - but 'time invested' as evidence of how much more clever humanity was back then. I was there! lol Dolmens demonstrate calculation, cantilevers, balance, and cams.
We've already seen first-hand proof how a single human can build these structures. It's been proven in our own modern times and one man has already demonstrated how to build them. I'm proud of what our ancestors achieved.
Limestone, once expose, hardens at the surface but be warned that surface hardening leads to differential between the surface and the core of the rock potentially reducing its strength. When working with solid (sand/cement/lime) plaster note that each successive layer of plaster is made to a weaker mix (less cement but maybe more lime). Much about the world is counterintuitive.
Agreed. They clearly had some kind of a machine in that place. It is just like the longyou caves in China and they don't even mention it. This is a weird video.
@@DivineRomuald Just because he question a statement you label him as limited? What does that say about you? Please be respectful even if you disagree with him expressing uncertainty.
In surat Qāf aya 36, Alla said:but how many generations before them did We destroy, stronger in power than they? Then did they wander throught the land? Was there any place of escape?
I think they are still here. Underwater and under mountains. The evidence is growing. I have seen enough naval photos of USOs to think anything else. I have seen an orb - along with 20,000 other people- that completely mesmerized us so that we would not speak of it for a long time. They are in the moon. We are not alone. We never have been. They created us.
I can show you underground stone quarries in Wales, every bit as awesome. They were created by hammers and chissels together with a bit of gunpowder (when it became available). They might not be works of art, but they are just as vast. They were created over the last 500 years. To say 'humans cannot do this' ingnores the fact that humans did do that and they did it with very basic tools and no regard for saftey.
The time it will take to use chisel, hammer and other do called simple tools will be too long to dig n shape much more lifting n transporting.Thats the part we are amazed by.How did they do it to honor a king or empor during his lifetime
The carving of the caverns probably began just below ground surface and worked down over a long period of time. The dolmans are just like the ones we saw in Belgium.
On the other side of Eurasia, you have the menhir alignments Carnac and dolmens of Brittany in Western France. They're both set in a peninsula and are believed to be placed as astronomical markers.
seems so meaningless compared to what was said about the stone being softer (easier to carve) when freshly dug then hardened up when exposed to air. it brings petrified wood to mind.
Pretty amusing, though for building materials it's kind of important. You might not be able to light a certain stone on fire, but when exposed to a lot of heat, many stones crumble or crack and explode. Kind of important when you're building defensive structures that are prone to sieges.
This isn’t accurate there’s no info on this quarrey, they quarryed and branded their stone this quarrey has none no info on it and or marks anything at all
All granite has feldspar clay and iron as the geopolymer or volcanic chemical bonding fusion combination for cultured mineral growing geopolymer granite
It is hilarious how these stones are interpreted according to our current thinking and compared to pre-historic structures. We have no idea why the stones were moved and placed in certain locations, who did it and how. Also we can't determine the period those stones were placed on those locations. It appears that some were trying to imitate pre-historic builders but didn't have tools and skills to carve into the mountains or construct the structures. Or were they first attempts to construct something with large stones. But why did they use large stones in locations where they didn't exist but had to be moved to those locations.
Yep, all the building techniques mentioned are supposition. They don't understand why they were built or by whom. To a primitive culture, such a monumental effort would never be undertaken for some simple reason. The tomb theory is thin at best and as a means of astrological alignment, a rough stone of varying sizes would be fairly pointless. But they are all over the world and of very similar design. There was a purpose to them that crossed cultures, races and continents. If it was religious, then that religion was global, and if some purpose, it must have been important enough to appeal to all of humanity. That rough stone evalated on three stones, had some meaning or purpose utterly lost to the modern academics, but they like to waffle and pretend they understand it.
Well you can have a guess how old the structures are based on the age of objects around the site. It would take quite an effort, look at stone henge. It would be a huge undertaking, they have evidence going back as far 6000 years ago to show the site was being used. The nature of the artefacts found around the site can also indicate what it was used for. The wonderful thing about archaeologists, like doctors and detectives, they learn to understand patterns and recognize signs that indicate certain things. I find it hilarious people who aren't archaeologists... criticising their interpretation, when they have zero evidence or qualifications for doing so. Do archaeologists get things wrong? If course they do, but it's normally archaeologists who prove archaeologists wrong, not people like Graham Hancock.
If you read the ancient texts, you might get an idea, who dunnit. It takes a lot of time and research, but there are a lot of answers, that you may think, do not exist.
@@jamesn.economou9922 I don't know ancient languages. Even hieroglyphics, some say they can read them others say nobody can read them. It is not good enough to read somebody else's old interpretations.
@@Ana-bw7gm Good enough for what? I don't understand your point. There are dozens of ancient languages and texts. Some of have never been deciphered, while many others have. Do some research on the Rosetta Stone, and you will find out, how they were able to learn, to read Egyptian hieroglyphs. It is not black magic.
When people lived for hundreds of years as they did before the great flood. They can accomplish and learn a great deal. People could spend a 100 years studying and learning and still not have spent a third of their lives yet. Can you imagine what a Michael Angelo type could have done when living for 700 years?
It amazes and depresses me how you can come out with such absolute crap, with no proof and worse, no reason, no logic backing it. You do realise you sound crazy, either prove the impossible or admit your wrong. Because delusional people who want reality to be what ever they decide it is, are destroying this world. Your so dangerous. Your and adult. Act like it.
@@YippieKiYeaMFer No, you just need to realize that what the Bible says is real. It happened. Evolution is the fairy tale. There was another civilization before the great flood and people's life spans were much longer in those days. Many of these ancient and amazing monoliths are remnants of the pre-flood civilization.
@@SuperJammy1 Not a joke. The great flood really happened. The bible is the truth. Not what evolutionist storytellers have theorized. The Earth and this civilization are round 2. Mankind's second chance.
Why are people so eager to conclude that ancient people did not create methods and tools for their art and monuments? Our brains were the same. Just because their tools haven’t been found, and just because we think their art and monuments are impressive doesn’t mean we should conclude that these remarkable ancestors were not inventive and creative on their own.
Because where are the tools or the writing that says how any of it was done oh that's right none of that exists and even the supposed cultures that we say built these places also say on their own words they had nothing to do with it especially in South America 💯 mainstream knowledge is about as reliable as any politician wake up
Whilst what you're saying isn't exactly impossible but has I explained to a tour guide in Egypt when he was saying about the ancient Egyptians. I pointed out that in the UK they have Stonehenge built thousands of years ago. If you go to the UK now, they have tunnels under the sea, bridges spanning water between gorges, another words, a clear line of progression in engineering feats. When seeing Egyptian antiquity, you marvel in it's size and attention to detail. When you contrast that with the engineering of Egypt today, there is zero comparison. The biggest engineering projects are all carried out by foreign countries, the impressive Nile dam was built by the Russians and British. You somehow have to believe, the people had the knowledge and must've completely forgot about it. Contrary to human progression. My conclusion is the buildings were already there and the current Egyptian people moved on to the land. Hence why most sites despite being huge were almost buried in sand and required digging out.
"It would be hard to do, therefore they couldn't have done it" is the argument in these types of videos. I don't think people understand how much time ancient people had to dedicate to building these things. It's a slow process, but they didn't have the internet to distract them, and, in many cases, they were forced to work on them.
Nephilim, offspring of fallen angels that had children with mortal women. They carried the knowledge with them when they fell. They were also giants, and many skeletons have been found proving they existed
Hypothetical question. What if people were 5 times stronger physically than we are to day? Would that make all the moving and working of big stones possible? Maybe all creatures on this planet were stronger than they are today. Would that account for what we can't explain how it was done?
AQD84, I fully support your thought about Animals having pulled those HUGE rocks! I was wondering how the bloody hell can Humans pull such rocks? OMG...if humans have to do that then it may require a 100 Men to do that. Another concern is the HUGE pressure/tension applied to the Ropes. I mean these can easily break under such pressure. I wonder what material those ropes were made of?
Pre-flood humans where 10 times taller and got ten times older. Nephilims where ever much bigger.Before the flood the angels took all giant trees down( today mountains are basically petrified tree stumps). So they could not escape the flood.
A lot of species can come and go over the5 billion years this planet has been here. Even if it didn't support life for the first two and a half billion that still leaves two billion. That's longer than a human mind can comprehend.
Quite right, fortunately we are able to trace the fossil record and have found a good amount of evidence to say what was around when. Obviously there is always the chance more could be discovered and it's of course possible we are misinterpreting what has been found. But I think we must base our actual knowledge on that which can be evidenced. Random speculation, whilst interesting, is not a good way to determine facts.
All of these massive stone developments could be created evenTODAY without much equipment OR machinery!!! By Using the vast amounts of materials in the form of powdered rock available from the mining underground..This material can be easily transported in sacks and assembled much like today’s concrete is poured into a form to hold it while it cures in place! When a series of blocks have hardened, others can be placed on top of and beside the previous ones leaving only the space in between the blocks that cured at different times.. using electricity * could have also helped the polarization of the molecules in the geo-polymer harden exponentially, perhaps even getting harder over time.. which is shown by how well this ancient concrete has lasted unlike our Portland cement which barely lasts 100 years…
It’s crazy that it has been at least five world extinction events that has happened in this planet. Each probably has a distinct technology that is different from each other.
The ability to make these megalithic structures, does not depend on the tools available. It only depends on mankinds willingness to come together, and work towards a single goal. Historically, there are only three reasons that this happens. 1-Theology/Religion/Faith 2-Enslavement/Servitude 3-War/Battle
The people who made these, made them for a real good reason, because it takes a lot of thought and effort. I believe these beings dont even exist today on earth. There is no way, because it all seems mytholigical now, but clearly we can see it existed. If we ever fiund out the truth, we will probably feel like a very useless species as humans today
Well no they don't exist today, they died hundreds or thousands of years ago. You do realize there is a difference of about 4000 years between the oldest structure listed and the youngest? It isn't one big society that made them, it's quite clearly many different societies separated by thousands of years and thousands of miles. The structures don't even look the same. The pyramids and stonehenge look absolutely nothing alike. To assume the same people built them is just insane.
@@Issy-xz1xj Gobleki Tepe is 11,500 years old and could reveal a lot about history but they are no longer digging the site. That raises questions in itself.
@@Issy-xz1xj It's only been dug 5% and that 5% was years ago with no further progress. Now it's being conserved as a world heritage site. Unesco say this "Göbekli Tepe is legally protected by Law 2863/1983 on the Protection of the Cultural and Natural Properties, amended in 1987 and 2004. In 2005, the tell and the limestone plateau were inscribed as a 1st Degree Archaeological Conservation Site by the decision of the Diyarbakır Council for Conservation of Cultural and Natural Properties. In 2016, the buffer zone was registered as a 3rd Degree Archaeological Conservation Site, by the decision of the Şanlıurfa Council for Conservation of Cultural Properties."
Many of the scenes shown are clearly from quarries. You can see the cutting marks all over the walls. As we all know quarries able to produce massive stones blocks have been around for thousands of years. Many things from pyramids to castles and chateaus have been built using incredibly rudimentary techniques.
And Montezuma said it was the Sky People who built the temples and pyramids have to love the Spanish for keeping records and logbooks on everything the discovered, there are many stone megaliths that with our current technology we are not able to build structures like these.
How many people you know around you can truly explain how modern day building are built, how a cellphone works down to its microchip, how to build a working phone from scratch ect…
We consistantly have 3-12 humans floating through space at 16000mph, but please Graham, explain to me how it's impossible for humans to... carve stone...
4:46 These caverns may have been made with lasers. This could also explain the horizontal lines. It must have been relatively easy for these people to create these caverns and temples. They where more advanced than we are now.
No lasers have a focal point beyond that focal point the light diverges and rapidly loses power and definition lasers cannot cut very deeply because of this.
@@lazygazzzer I've worked with industrial steel cutting lasers and also with low power Co2 lasers for over a decade. Not as a professor but with enough wit to grasp the basic physics. You might want to attempt that dexterity with the English language. 😉
Like we had very large animals like the mammoth, dinosaurs, etc pre flood, these structures make us think very deeply that perhaps we (mankind) were also giants??????
....there is no 'pre flood', it DID NOT HAPPEN. Seriously, it's terrifying how many people act like the fairy story was real...read an actual science book
@@Issy-xz1xjThere is in fact plenty of fossil evidence that there were humanoid creatures very similar to us but larger in prehistory. We are not talking 100ft tall, not 20ft tall, but maybe as big as ~9 feet tall. Today we have people who do not even have gigantism who are 7ft tall. Its not hard to imagine that in a thriving civilization with an abundance of clean food and water, harmony with nature, plenty of oxygen, and free of disease, humans could have been 7+ feet tall, with the tallest being eight maybe 9 feet tall. Even a 7 ft tall man seems like a giant today. When resources become scarce, and disease and pollution hurt the environment, or even sexual selection adapting for shortness, humans can get much shorter in just a few generations. It's not a stretch to think that the height differences would be exaggerated in verbal history due to lack of strict record keeping and precise measurement.
It's funny how the best the British could manage was stack a bunch of rocks together and call it a day, meanwhile people like him see stuff like this around the world and goes "ALIENS"

How were they able to live inside those caves with no electricity and how did they achieve such precision while building them? again without electricity?
The Romans collapsed in entire mountain range, searching for gold deposits. They used water, and here’s the best part they were able to pump it up the mountain they would dig tunnels, send the water down the tunnel, and then it would collapse that part of the mountain, and then they would sift through the dirt, when you have millions of slaves you can do anything
I think that they're teenage pranks. 10 thousand years ago, fraternities across the world would set these things up. Probably their version of a homecoming celebration.
What is a pre flood structure? Which flood? What date is that? So it's easy to carve statues but carving tunnels is beyond their ability? So if it hardens over time then why couldn't they dig into it before it hardened?
I think it's maybe referring to the great flood that helped melt the last ice age after the Younger Dryas event? The flood all religious texts speak of (Noah's Ark flood). It's said much of the planet got wet suddenly about 12,000 years ago.
@@sammy2tyres It didn't happen 😂. There is no evidence for some big global flood. What there is evidence for and what we see around the world now, is humans build cities on rivers and rivers flood all the time. In 2023 there were major floods in China, Greece and the USA...it was not the same flood. Just because different societies talk about a great flood, it's idiocy to assume it's the same one 😂
@@sammy2tyresfloods don't help in heating up the climate, also the even if we melt all the ice on earth, water level would rise by maximum of about 100m, which would flood a lot of plains, but is hardly anywhere close biblical flood.

Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean 1. They couldn't have done it and 2. They didn't have a very good reason for it.
It is always the same error. When the ancient constructions are too sophisticated, aliens show up. And we keep on denying that long ago a highly educated and skilled human civilization existed. That highly developed civilization has left traces all over the earth to tell us that they existed. Sometimes those are huge buildings like the Great Pyramid. Sometimes they are buildings in impossible places high in the mountains like Machu Picchu. Sometimes they are impossible hard stone constructions in difficult places. High, large and hard are the conditions to be visible even thousands of years later. The last highly developed civilization disappeared about 20,000 years ago and they knew it would happen because our planet Earth is suffering from a recurring, therefore predictable but inescapable natural disaster caused by the ninth planet in our solar system. Planet 9 approaches the sun and its planets with long intervals. During the crossing through the ecliptic plane, at a very high speed, its gravitational force causes a huge tidal wave and other disasters on our planet Earth. After a few thousand years it returns. In the collective memory of mankind these disasters are known as a Great Flood or "the end of times" or doomsday. Because of the crossing of that planet, the whole world is covered with a wet mud layer that hardens after a while. The many horizontal layers of our planet are rock solid evidence for this event. We show much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the rebirth of civilizations and ancient advanced technology in the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It shows abundant and convincing evidence both in text and many depictions. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: planet 9 roest
That Japanese cave complex is a fairly modern quarry that was dug out, originally using hand tools and later using machines. The stone is very soft and not good for building structures but it is much sought after for garden walls and the decorative stone work around graves. It is nothing special at all. During WWII, the Japanese used the caverns as an aircraft factory and it was never discovered until the capitulation and occupation by US forces.
Guys… giants used to exist, it’s all over our history. Obviously giants helped create some of these things like pyramids and great structures etc. even in North America the Indians have so many legends of giants. They have structures in North America that they are still scratching their heads at.
They were just as ingenious as we can be. Only people like Graham Hancock will tell you otherwise, because he wants you believe it was some different, advanced society
Right. Intelligent humans believed that the earth was the center of the universe until the 16th century. Egyptians at the time of the construction of the pyramids believed that the earth was flat and chariots pulled the sun across the sky. Egyptians may not even be the builders of the pyramids. Whoever or whatever created ancient megalithic structures were certainly not humans of the time; at least not without help. We, humanity through trial and error, through observation have become as “ingenious” as we are today. We were not born with the ingenuity we have today. Perhaps ancient man was as intelligent as you. But a far cry from the knowledge and experience the rest of humanity has gained.
@@jamestown4867mate, not understanding the movement of planets, and being unable to cut sandstone and make a big pile of rocks are two different things.
@@jamestown4867 I'm saying that just because ancient people didn't have heliocentric model and full understanding of our planet, doesn't mean they were unable to cut soft stones like sandstone, tuff or limestone, transport them and then arrange in the most stable shape for stones (pyramid). Ofc, it took time, just for a reminder, building Notre Dame, a much smaller structure, took almost 200 years.
We are at a point where we can start to piece together fragments of our past into collage of mysteries. The stone work found globally, the method of construction the hints at high technology its like we are close to piecing it together but so far from the actual truth. Pre flood Earth was no doubt a bustling advanced era to live in but everything has been wiped clean by cataclysm.
Our history doesnt hold even 100 years. Take a look at any massive stone building in any major city all around the world. Useally decorated with stone carvings etc. For example here in Finland they say some was built around 1914. During that time, we didnt even have any machine to dig the base for that building! The stonework is absolutely stunning and precise. And during that time there were no electric machinery, like we have today. Something is wrong big time. And another common thing for these buildings are the missing pictures from the construction time. Instead, we have picture or two about the building in its full form, but having construction stairs etc around it, and the building itself looking very old already. We have been fooled. Go out and see it yourself!
