>>13859326He's a quack. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff in history, archaeology, and anthropology literature that is incorrect, and there are even a lot of mainstream scholars who question the validity of our current understanding of ancient history, prehistory, early human migrations, and even even the complexity and sophistication of paleolithic societies. However, none of these people are pushing new age conspiracy theories or talking about psychic phenomenon and other horseshit. Reality is a lot more interesting and even beautiful then whatever crackpot theories Graham is cooking up. For example, every few years, we push back agriculture even further. Every few years we discover more evidence of prehistoric trade routes and primitive forms of government. Every year we discover more about arcaheoastronomy and prehistoric knowledge of astronomy; this is actually a very interesting field, and one that I have studied a good bit. For example, we are beginning to find evidence that prehistoric cultures, well before even the bronze age, probably had some understanding of astronomical phenomenon, and these cultures routinely uses astronomical knowledge for navigation and farming purposes, and there is even evidence to suggest that multiple paleolithic societies had the ability to predict at least some lunar eclipse phenomenon, which occur at regular intervals every few years. That means that people in pre-literate, paleolithic societies were able to identify and track the periodic motion of the moon over the course of literally years and years, and they were able to preserve and transmit this information orally.
It's also really interesting that we're beginning to discover more and more about genetic relationships and interbreeding between different archaic human subgroups. Neanderthals, denisovans, sapiens, erectus, ghost populations, etc.
