    I read some of Hancock’s earlier stuff like, 20+ years ago. There were some interesting theories about the possibility of civilizations more ancient than we were then aware of having actually existed.

    In the time since, as I understand things, we’ve discovered “evidence” that points to civilizations of some kind 20,000+ years ago, which we didn’t seem to have much of back then, and some of which seems to disprove some of Hancock’s atlantis-type sophisticated lost ancient civilizations theories, but it was still a moderately compelling, engaging, and fascinating IDEA at the time even if the magnetic poles flipping opposite every 12,500 years was a little hard to swallow.

    I’m not sure what he’s peddling now, but when he throws out ideas, he’s good at making them seem cool, so it could just be keanu is honestly fascinated by whatever concepts the dude is dishing out.
