Graham Hancock Tells Russell Brand Archaeologists "Despise" Ordinary People

1/11/2023

61 Comments

 
​In case you didn’t see it, Graham Hancock appeared on Russell Brand’s podcast this past week to promote Ancient Apocalypse and to attack archaeologists yet again for being mean to him by asking for evidence for his claims. Hancock looks tired and angry during the interview, and even Brand notes that he seems unduly dejected and downtrodden for a man with one of the world’s most popular streaming nonfiction series. 
​During the interview Brand complains, not wholly incorrectly, that without Hancock only “elites” have access to archaeology. That’s true, but not because the public needs Atlantis to be interested but because the mainstream media only patronize sensational claims and Hancock’s hated “academics” have retreated into a bubble created by universities’ publish-or-perish mentality, hyper-specialization, and academic publishers exploitative pricing that essentially disincentivizes public engagement. Popularizers certainly have a role to play, but not one that should involve making things up.
 
Throughout the half-hour podcast Hancock appears grumpy and sad and says he needs “a cuddle” after attacks from critics. Again, Hancock complains about “schools,” “academia,” and “the education system,” and it’s very clear that he is remembering his own school days since he describes the teaching of a “linear” model of “progress” from caveman to computer than hasn’t been taught since the 1960s. (At root, he’s describing the old Victorian model of progress from “savagery” to “barbarism” to “civilization,” long recognized as flawed.)
 
Hancock alleges that archaeologists have immense “power” and “despise” the public. This is related to his claim that they serve as guardians of an official past and talk down to anyone who challenges some agreed-upon “narrative,” presumably enshrined in a catechism in the Smithsonian to which every archaeologist must swear an oath of allegiance before picking up a trowel.
 
Hancock, for the first time I recall, announces that there is “a huge amount of evidence for reincarnation,” and then he becomes very upset that “mainstream scientists attack my work” by citing his claims about Atlantean psychic telekinesis in America Before, which he says shouldn’t count against him because they take up but one page. That’s an odd way of looking at one’s own work. Hancock bitterly resents critics noting his drug use, but he only discusses ayahuasca in this context. He purposely claims not to have taken “cocaine” in order to elide his own admission that he was a heavy user of marijuana and that the drug had made him paranoid and impacted his work. Those were his words, and now he carefully talks around them.
 
He finished the podcast by claiming that modern civilization is “doomed” and that a self-induced apocalypse is coming due to partisan rancor and capitalist destruction of planetary resources. In short, he walks right up to the edge of admitting that it doesn’t matter whether his story about a lost civilization is factually true because it serves as a mythic warning about contemporary society, one that he sees “elites”—meaning those who currently operate the control mechanisms of modern life—trying to suppress to keep the wheels of capitalism turning. Again, it’s an odd choice for someone who became a jet-setting multimillionaire from the media, one of the most successful capitalist enterprises of the past century.

Graham Hancock was easily and thoroughly debunked by the BBC documentary "Atlantis Reborn" in 2000 and showing a snip in a repeat of the documentary that Hancock groaned about did not change the conclusion about him. And since 2000 Hancock, like Erich Von Daniken, has not stopped spamming with his "popcorn archaeology" for the gullible crowds.

Russel Brand was always a bit of a plonker, he had his fair share of the drugs back in the day when he was presenter on British tv.

You mentioned Hancock's book about Mars in the past, has he talked about that recently.

As far as marijuana goes, it is widely thought that the sativa strains are the ones that cause paranoia. I would recommend Hancock smoke a very strong indica strain. The benefits are twofold:
1 : Indica strains have a pronounced narcotic effect which would turn Hancock into a mute turnip with couch-lock, eventually nodding off. This would spare us his incessant nonsensical pontifications and,,,
2 : He wouldn't get paranoid.

"It’s widely known in weed circles that sativas are worse than indicas for people prone to paranoia. Supposedly, since sativas have an energizing effect, they could overstimulate an anxious toker’s mind."

https://cannaflower.com/top-hemp-strains-that-do-not-cause-paranoia/

Normally, I would recommend Acapulco Gold strain which while being mainly a sativa strain doesn't seem to create any paranoia, however this strain really enlivens a person which may result in us having to listen nonstop to Hancock's prattle.

“The idea that one plant phenotype expression causes different effects, i.e. sativa is always energetic, indica is always relaxing, is not based on scientific evidence.”

Further to my point vis-à-vis sativa traits vs. indigo traits, it should be noted that some stoners and argumentative types may confuse the multitude of mixed parentage strains (sativa and indica strains that have been crossbred ) with actual sativa and indica strains.
Actual sativa and indica strains, which are becoming more and more rare, do in fact show the differences noted in my above post. That is the opinion of Harvard Medical School Professor and author of the book, Seeing through the Smoke: A Cannabis Specialist Untangles the Truth about Marijuana, Peter Grinspoon will tell you.

“If you were to get a really pure indica, it does make people sleepy, hungry, and relaxed,” Grinspoon says. “If you get a pure sativa, which is really hard to get, it makes you feel energetic, focused, and creative. Those are the two ends of the spectrum of the effects that cannabis can cause, with the caveat that different people react to different strains differently.”

I disagree with the only elites have access comments. There are many general public magazines, websites, and newsletters available. I subscribe to Smithsonian, National Geographic, Current World Archaeology and Archaeology at present. At times I have also read American Archaeology and Biblical Archaeology. These magazines are no more expensive than your average magazine.

The National Geographic Channel also has many shows about archaeology. Since these are now available through Disney+ it is hard to say that they are not accessible.

I used to give students mini-workshops on how to get textbooks cheaply instead of buying new at the university bookstore. In some cases, for example, there is little substantive difference in the 5th and 8th edition of particular books. Had students that bought the older editions online for maybe 1/4 of the original price. Think I had one student get a formerly 50 dollar book for one dollar online. Still trying to figure out why people even bother to sell something online for a buck. But then again I had students complain bitterly about paying 90 bucks for a primary text while driving a car most junior faculty couldn't afford and racking up enormous bar tabs drinking the good stuff on any given Friday eve, Priorities.

He doesn't look homeless, but he doesn't look like Pee-Wee Herman, either. Women seem to like his style.
Resting constipation face? He's actually quite animated, almost (or too) self-confident, and a pretty bright fellow.

Hi Jason -

I suppose it is time for me to confess and give you a backgrounder

Several years ago (3?), Graham spoke at Serpent Mound.
I gave him a copy of my book, and told him very briefly about the comet impact which killed off the mammoth and mastodon.
So perhaps in a way all of this is my fault.

I have never met Randall Carlson, and do not know if he has read any of my works, including my earlier pieces for the Cambridge Conference. While Carlson has picked up some strange things, his observation on the geology of the western rivers is a pretty good. But there is so much more geological evidence.

Hoopes is pretty good, and I have used his work.
Perhaps someday he will be working on impact tsunami effects in Mesoamerica and farther north.

Cline is a typical Israeli archaeologist with about zero understanding of the Bronze Age Mediterranean population groups. Throw in crappy chronology, particularly for LM 1B.
While 1177 is a catchy title, I do not know his field excavation techniques.

I much prefer Andrew Collins to Hancock. I think it is likely that
the advanced culture Collins is looking for now lies under the Black Sea. But...My friends Dimitri and Svetlana were living in Kiev, and Dan in the Donbass.

My French Canadian ancestry includes Huron and French, well known and rock hard firmly documented. Mom's side of the family was hidden, for reasons that will become apparent shortly.

It turns out that the Sewikley Division of the the Shawnee was stripped of personhood at law for harboring fugitive slaves. I am a descendant of these events. and I have both Shawnee and African American ancestry.

It took me a long long while to comet to terms with this, and I am still working on it. Remember that there are probably several hundred thousand of your and my fellow citizens who have mixed ancestry, Native American and African American.

Compared to the price of a new edition of Hancock's latest book, the pricing of various popularly oriented books on archaeology ranging from archaeology for dummies to Fagan's works are reasonable. Using google scholar one can access various articles in archaeology as well as other topics like Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis for free. Even a lot of initially overpriced textbooks are affordable for the careful online shopper. I would lean toward media hype and the overall appeal of lost civilizations, new age spirituality, wacky tobbacky and DMT tripping, and conspiracy theory as the driving force(s) for why Hancock is a millionaire celeb. Not so much the inaccessibility of academic work across the board.

To my knowledge. the first person to suggest an impact origin for the Carolina Bays was Otto Muck, the German inventor of the snorkel for the Nazi U-Boats, who wrote in the 1950's. In his case it was an ocean impact.

I myself called attention to Hibbens' finds, and pointed to a land impact.

Hi Jim - Thank you. This tells me how Atlantis fit into Nazi race theories.

"The radical cult being promoted by the Nazi’s was simply … unreal.

It espoused ‘Cosmic Ice Theory’, where the stars were not suns like our own, but reflective balls of ice. One of these collided with the Earth, sinking Atlantis and forcing the advanced Aryan people living there to flee.

This ice ball, it was claimed, rebounded off the Earth’s surface — and became the Moon.

And it was now the Nazi’s mission to ‘reinstate’ the Aryan race to its place as the supreme earthly culture.

For a possible Mayan record of this event, see:
http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/ce010702.html - E.P. Grondine, 2001:
7 September, 2325 BCE - A white headband was closed for White?
17 February, 2325 BCE - Lady White conjured up the gods at Matawil
Note that the meaning of the Mayan locative "Matawil" is still unclear, and
this report may instead relate to the Hurrian impact event (below). Note
also that the rain of molten iron subsequent to the impact of an iron at
higher speeds can result in fires occurring over an area far larger than
that first ignited by the initial impact blast.

CA. 1586 BCE - DESTRUCTION OF HITTITE FORCES UNDER T'E HANTILISH (JOSHUA
IMPACT EVENT)(?)
TYPE OF IMPACTOR: IRON strongly suspected
There had been much discussion of this impact event prior to my own
involvement, and I hope others will forgive my bias here, but for a first
accurate dating in LM 1B context and possible identification as an iron
impactor see:

TYPE OF IMPACTOR: UNKNOWN
See: http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/cc043098.html - E.P. Grondine, 1998
(I have a collection of Latin texts relating to this impact event sitting on
my desk. Of course, work with texts is no substitute for field work in
Tuscany.)

CA. 1 BCE - BRENHAM, KANSAS

For Native American use, see:

no one understood the size of the blast.)

Odd, most of these citations that are accessible are for air bursts. Three, you are citing yourself, which are garbage. A couple apparently refer to lightning. Most of the rest are broken links. Campo was probably an air burst with many multiple fragments, in fact,I have a small one.
Where are the impacts that destroyed Atlantis, the ones that caused your fantasy mega Tsunamis? The ones that killed off the megafauna?
Better get back to beading coozies and stop pretending that you are someone you aren’t.
Facts, peer reviewed facts. And peer reviewed means by actual, credentialed scientists. Strikes and air bursts happened, no doubt, but not the ones in your fantasy.

Hi Paul -

That list was done in 2002.
Much more is known today (at least by some people).

I don't know why you think an air bursts can not produce fatalities.

You may want to read ted Bryant's book on impact tsunami.

Rafinesque had an interesting epitaph about not letting the bastards getting you down inscribed on his tombstone If you are in Lexington, be sure to visit it.

"Rafinesque had an interesting epitaph about not letting the bastards getting you down inscribed on his tombstone If you are in Lexington, be sure to visit it."

Yeah, thing is, that's not actually true.

When in doubt, just use Grenadine's Law and contradict everything this backdoor clownshow carny says.

There is an excellent bar right down the street.

It would take about $30,000 to track down the physician from Virginia who treated Chief Anderson in today's Anderrson Indiana and who likely was given the Walum Olum by him. He likely passed through Lexington on his way home.

In closing, people believe what they want to believe until reality intrudes.
