Graham Hancock: Ancient Apocalypse - Review & Commentary

[Mister Obvious]

The pyramid bases they're showing in this helicopter ride in South America are fucking crazy. The lines and the circles are perfect. There's no fkn way.

[Mister Obvious]

Man, no wonder they hate Graham Hancock and what him to shut up and disappear yo.

I get it now. This shit is WILLLLDDDD.

[Mister Obvious]

Well I mean, he did get a Netflix documentary so that kind of suggests they're trying to give him some attention but...

To hear him tell it, he gets attacked constantly online (Wiki, news articles, defamation, etc.) and I see proof of that everywhere I look his name up too. It's definitely true, there's an ongoing smear campaign and the doc didn't change that at all.

[Mister Obvious]

Now they're talking about Easter Island...

Man, this is one of the best documentaries to ever tie all this stuff together.

God...

What a magnificent world with untold rich, vast ANCIENT history that we will never know about.

[Mister Obvious]

It truly defies the imagination. Whatever happened on this planet in the past? You can't make the shit up. Guaranteed it was crazy shit beyond our wildest dreams yo.

[Mister Obvious]

The Easter Island statues and the ones like them found across the world are either depicting aliens or a giant humanoid species that is long extinct.

[Mister Obvious]

These Rapa Nui chicks are pretty hot.

[Mister Obvious]

So let me get this straight...

Boats with a handful of "flood survivors" from "far away" just randomly paddled up to all the different continents right after the cataclysm and convinced everybody to "restart civilization" but it's NOT aliens.

[Mister Obvious]

Rrrriiihihihihihihihihihiiiight.

[Mister Obvious]

I've tuned out watching this doc more times than I can count though. To be fair I'm kinda multitasking but... I think it would happen anyway. It's a serious documentary, but it's plenty engaging. I just think if you were in bed watching, you might fall asleep pretty fast. Really pretty scenery footage too.

[Mister Obvious]

So rumor has it Hancock's son works for Netflix in some capacity and that's why they gave this documentary the green light.

And to that I say, good for his son. Netflix is lucky.

[Mister Obvious]

S2 E4 is solely about ayahuasca and episode 5 is starting off with a continuation of the ayahuasca experience.

So...

I am not sure how this ties into the whole thing.

Other than that maybe Graham thinks the geometric shapes depicted on the ground are seen in ayahuasca trips.

Basically, he seems to think hallucinogens are instruction courses.

The suggestion is either that psychedelics were put here on purpose so human minds could evolve...

Or that they open portals to another dimension. I'm not sure which he's getting at yet.

[Mister Obvious]

He's saying that the complex chemical processing of ayahuasca is pretty advanced and that humans were apparently doing it tens of thousands of years ago. So they must have known stuff. That's basically the general idea.

[Mister Obvious]

He thinks these "visionary plants" tie in to geoglyph depictions around the world.

[Mister Obvious]

Now they're talking about the Serpent Mound in Ohio.

This doc brings up undeniably good points.

So it's lunch time and I've picked back up where I left off on Ancient Apocalypse, S2 E6.

The show is good, but it's also known to put me in zone out mode. May be too early in the day to attempt watching.

15:00 they're looking at ancient Mayan writings, and their belief that creation/destruction is cyclical and when they wrote this most recent stuff, they were living in the 'fourth creation'.

[Mister Obvious]

I cannot even bullshit with you...

Netflix is my least favorite streaming service.

It has so many weird fucking quirks, I don't like the layout etc.
