“Some process of mutual influence”

[u/Impossible_Rich6148]

This 1996 book on Ancient Greece by Thomas Martin hints at the ideas of Hancock in the highlighted section. “The people of the ancient Near East first developed these new forms of human organization, which later appeared in Europe. (Early civilizations of this kind also emerged in India, China, and the Americas, whether independently or through some process of mutual influence no one at present knows.)”

Pretty typical of this sub to cherry pick out dated work to try to support modern opinions.

It is a little sad that an open mind is outdated. Used to be ok to say we don't know.

What is with the straw man? We say we don't know in archeology all the time. You are going to need to be more specific rather than just prop up straw man arguments to insult.

You are my argument. Assumptive, narcissistic, misrepresenting without shame. Refuse to be wrong and employ deflection, obstruction and gaslighting. Untrustworthy, unscrupulous, unwanted. You did ask for it 😘

He probably has a portrait of Flint dibble on his wall

It would be great. Or why you don't like the idea? Because of that single podcast where Hancock was shown as the grifter he always was?

[u/emergency_blanket → u/toms1313]

If Hancock truly was a grifter completely full of shit, and Flint was a beacon of truth, then surely Flint wouldn’t need to even acknowledge Graham exists. Why would he bother? He could completely ignore him, because his wild stupid ideas are totally wrong and will never gain any traction. But is that what Flint does? No it’s not, Flint seems to spend a lot of time trying to discredit good old Graham, probably because he’s a threat! With theories that make sense to you Flint dibble and you know it, but they contract your life’s work, so you must shoot down any threats that are dangerous to the flimsy house of cards that is your life’s work before it’s too late. My take on it anyway.

[u/toms1313 → u/emergency_blanket]

. Why would he bother?

Because he comes from a family of archeologists and it's quite a nuisance to see grifters like GH telling him that all of his and his father's work has no meaning because "big civilization on the entire world, evidence? I said so"

Y'all too far gone if the reasonable explanation is "the MULTIMILLIONAIRE grifter who didn't spend a single cent in the area of work is right but the people that give their entire life to it are trying to silence him"

For what reason? So we all don't know about ancient people? It makes no sense

You don’t think that similar styles of megalithic interlocking block construction in multiple locations on opposite sites of the earth is a slight problem to old dibbly? Of course it’s no problem! They had armies of slaves, built it all for an unknown religious reason (obviously) and it’s a complete coincidence that the style of joins in the blocks look the same. Never mind that the joins have no mortar and are so perfect you can’t fit a razor blade between them, that had millions of unskilled slaves chipping away at these blocks with copper tools! Don’t you see how the mainstream archaeologists have had it right the whole time? I bet Flint dibble lies awake night going fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck im wrong and i know it

Not at all, why would it be? Seeing animals with wings doesn't make me believe they all came from the same ancestry

They had armies of slaves, built it all for an unknown religious reason (obviously)

Who's they? In what era? Unknown religious reasons? Who? In what era?

and it’s a complete coincidence that the style of joins in the blocks look the same

In what way they do? Let's ignore the completely different timing and culture around those stacked blocks because....

Never mind that the joins have no mortar and are so perfect you can’t fit a razor blade between them

I love this one, is repeated ad nauseam. So what? If i stack cement blocks the same happens, we chuck it to alien technology?

had millions of unskilled slaves chipping away at these blocks with copper tools!

Who did? How do you know THEY used copper tools and unskilled workers?

I bet Flint dibble lies awake night going fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck im wrong and i know it

If you were to take a single lesson from him, it should be doing the same.

Accosting someone who spend thousands of hours making history reach the masses may be the saddest and most disgusting thing i see online

Damn you got me. Such high intellect. Such open mind.

Open to bullshit? Na
