Graham Hancock: “Archaeologists Are LYING About Ancient Technology Used

I think the key thing is we're lookingat technologies that are not the same asours yes and that's partly whyarchaeologists can't see them becausethey're looking for us in the past andthey're not open to the possibility thatthere are whole other kinds oftechnology that could be used right Ialways go back to the ancient EgyptianTraditions that speak of priestschanting as these huge blocks werelifted into the air were they using somekind of sound uh effect some kind ofsome kind of use of sound that was ableto manipulate matter we know that soundcan manipulate matter as a matter offact but they're lifting these blocks itis again and again it appears in AncientAncient Egyptian Traditions the notionthat we could lift huge blocks withif there's one person who can get peopleexcited about ancient civilizations it'sGraham Hancock somehow he knows exactlywhat to say to pull you in and most ofwhat he says sounds believable too butwhat's the latest theory that the Brithas brought to audiences this time wellstick around to find out his most recentClaim about the lies that archaeologistshave spread about ancient technology theBritish author spent a lot of his timetheorizing about what was reallyhappening in the past according to himHancock is sure that tens of Millenniaago there existed a civilization thatwas much more advanced than historyactually tells us he argues that theseAdvanced civilizations had a deepunderstanding of science maths andspirituality Hancock also believes thatwe can find evidence of thesecivilizations in the form of ancientmonuments and artifacts one specificsite that Hancock focuses on is skebekliTepe in Turkey which dates back to 11600 years ago hang gold believes thatthis site was too advanced to have beenbuilt by hunter-gatherers alone and musthave had help from a more advancedcivilization but I think what we'relooking at in Gobekli Tepe is what Icall a transfer of technology thatpeople who already knew Agriculture andwho already knew how to createmegalithic structures came to GobekliTepe they used the construction ofGobekli Tepe to mobilize the localpopulation and in the process theytaught them agriculture while Hancockcan only speculate about the people whoconstructed the site he believes thatthe evidence found proves that they hadsophisticated architecture even carvedfigures representing astronomicalconstellations from these observationshe concluded that there were unfamiliarand unknown people would alreadydominated all the Arts and traits of ahigh civilization more than twelvethousand years ago in the depths of thelast ice age however the late Germanarchaeologist Klaus Schmidt had adifferent conclusion after Excavating goback Tepe for more than two decades yousee some people actually did theresearch before making such significantclaims Schmidt believed that the sitewas used for ritual and feasting ratherthan as a residence the site is filledwith refuse including sediment animalbones Flint tools and the remains ofcereals and other plant material themegaliths found at the site whichSchmidt called a Monumental religiousarchitecture suggests a highlycomplicated mythology and capacity forabstraction this discovery has forcedarchaeologists to rethink the way weview the prehistoric lifestyle ofhunting Gathering and foraging innorthern Mesopotamia in fact while itmay be hard for Hancock to believe thatthese hunters and gatherers had theability to do so they were capable ofmore than we previously thought and thatthe origins of religion may have to bepushed back by Millennia plus GobekliTepe is actually a pre-pottery Neolithicsite that doesn't contain any evidenceof metal or metal workings this ispretty interesting since clay potteryand metals are usually associated withmore advanced cultures but if Hancock'sassumptions were valid wouldn't therehave been evidence of some kind to provethat they were in fact an advancedculture it's definitely not a link toany Lost Civilization like Hancocksuggests he writes about how ourancestors were initiated into thesecrets of metals and sword making butnone of the archaeological sites hetalks about actually show evidence ofthis not in non-roman areas of balbecEaster Island or at Quebec Tepe the 72year old has also claimed that thepyramids in Egypt were built becauseAdvanced Machinery existed at the timeand it wasn't the work of just policewhy does he think that well someresearchers in Egypt have stumbled upona 4 500 year old ramp system that wasused to pull Alabaster stones out of aquarry this system could offer someinsight into how the Egyptians built thepyramids a group of archaeologists fromthe University of Liverpool in theFrench Institute for Oriental archeologyin Cairo found this ramp at an ancientQuarry site in the Eastern desert and itdates back all the way to the time ofpharaoh Khufu who is said to have builtthe Great Pyramid of Giza the rampsystem consists of a central ramp withtwo staircases and several post holesthe post holes were used to pull upheavy Alabaster blocks using ropesattached to the sleds even though thisis an important Discovery it's easier tosay how significant it really is oncearchaeologists release their researchthis discovery along with other theorieshas convinced people like Hancock andJoe Rogan to believe that the pyramidswere made by a race with access toAdvanced Technology during an episode ofthe JRE podcast Rogan expressed hisamazement that ancient civilizationscould construct architectural Marvelslike the pyramids it was curious abouthow a civilization so old could havesuch Advanced knowledge to buildimpressive structures like the GreatPyramid of Giza he wanted about thesociety and culture behind it and howthey managed to be so smart consideringthe pyramids of 5 000 years old and youcan see why he's amazed the GreatPyramid of Giza alone is made up of 2million three hundred thousand stonesand its engineering his mind-bogglingand that's when he brought up everyconspiracy theorist's favoriteconspiracy he believed that an advancedhuman civilization that was decimatedlater was responsible for theconstruction of the pyramid because aramp to Hancock wasn't a good enoughexplanation now egyptologists will tellyou that oh they could move heavy blocksbecause they put them on wet sand andthey pushed them along on wet sand wellmaybe if you're just at ground levelthat will do but when you're 350 feetabove the ground as you are in theking's chamber that won't do it all Idon't know how they did it all I know isthey did it I don't think anybody knowshow they did it he referred to theyounger driest impact Theory andexpressed his agreement with the ideaput forward by Graham Hancock andRandall Carlson that humans have reachedhigh level of sophistication but wasstruck by Comet impacts Graham hasrepeatedly brought up one example thatwe think you need to take a look at aswell but then you have to confront basiclaws of physics you can't haul a stoneweighing tens of tons up a slope thatexceeds 10 degrees then you start doingthe calculation how long a ramp do Ineed with a 10 degree slope to get to350 feet above the ground and the answeris you need a [ __ ] long ramp whichwhich should still be there it's nowonder why Joe Rogan is right about thescientists being stumped somehow oranother they figure this out it's almostlike what they had done was leave behindsomething that was so stupendous somonstrously impressive that it wouldtranscend time yeah and that you wouldhave to look at it even thousands andthousands of years later and say heylike this this defies yeah conventionalexplanation we're starting to see justwhy this theory is so intriguing to Joebut not everyone is happy with thisreasoning that's why researchers aroundthe world are still trying to figure outhow the Pyramids of Giza were builtthey're always looking for new ways tostudy the pyramids a study found on theancient Origins website says that theEgyptians used sound in building theGreat Pyramid in Giza and depended onthe dead end within the rock inside thepyramid room is a resonance tube thatproduced ultrasonic waves at a frequencyof around 5 Hertz this raises thequestion of how important sound was tothe ancient Egyptians and if we can findany evidence of sound being used byother ancient cultures a historian fromthe 10th Century Abul Hassan Alial-masudi wrote about ancient Egypt inthe methods they used to move massiveStones including those used to build thepyramids he said that symbols on a magicPapyrus were placed under each Stone andthen a metal rod was hit against thestone to make it levitate according toal-masuti the stone was then moved alonga path with metal poles on each sidesome believe these poles could have beenused to make high frequency sounds thatcaused the levitation and even thoughthere's no solid proof that the pyramidswere built using acoustic levitation theGreat Pyramid of Giza does have someimpressive acoustic abilities likeamplifying sounds at specificfrequencies and Hancock doesn't seem tounderstand why researchers are not moreopen to these possibilities because thepeople who built the pyramids in Gizaclearly had a lot of knowledge aboutsound and its effects which may havealso included levitation using some kindof sound effect some kind of some kindof use of sound that was able tomanipulate matter we know that sound canmanipulate matter as a matter of factbut they're lifting these blocks intothe gain and again it appears in AncientAncient Egyptian Traditions butresearchers have been open to theseideas all over the world they've beentrying to work out the design of thePyramids of Giza but a UK Brazil teamand a University of Bristol team bothused different methods to actuallyachieve levitation the UK Brazil teamwas able to surpass previous limits onthe size of the object that could belevitated by using three ultrasonictransducers in a tripod Arrangement thecombined effect of the transducerscreated a stationary sound wave thatnegated the force of gravity in aparticular area meanwhile the Universityof Bristol team used a single ultrasonictransducer with a sound reflector tocreate a standing sound wave that stayedin place even after being reflected backon itself these experiments showedinvitation through sound waves ispossible and that there are differentways to do it future experiments mayfind even more ways to use sound toovercome gravity and some of them mightbe more powerful than what we have seenso far but wait did Graham say that weshould consider the possibility thatpsychic powers may have been in playmaybe the idea that they regard it asabsurd namely that psychic powers werecultivated by ancient civilizations thatthey could use powers of the human mindthat we have allowed to lapse maybe thatidea deserves further considerationremember when we say that researchersare constantly studying the pyramidswhile further investigations resultedanother discovery that gave Hancock moreleverage to uplift his theory scientistsannounced that they found a hidden voidin Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza that'sat least a hundred feet long it's saidto resemble the dimensions of thepyramid's grand Gallery but what'sinside and its purpose still needs to bedetermined that's why scientists areeven more baffled this is the firstprominent inner structure discovered inthe 4 500 year old pyramid since the1800s an archaeologist and egyptologistwas also a National Geographic emergingexplorer was quoted saying that this isthe discovery of the century and that noone ever imagined such a big void abovethe grand Gallery the discovery came upfrom the scan pyramids project ininternational Mission aimed atnon-invasively peering into Egypt's mostgiant pyramids the project hadpreviously announced the detection ofsome interesting voids and anomalieswhich isn't surprising as the pyramid'sInteriors are said to be more pockmarkedthan people imagine the recent discoveryof the Great Pyramid came as a shockthough and is considered the mostsignificant breakthrough yet with muonradiography a type of Imaging that wasfirst used in the Pyramids of Giza ChrisMorris a physicist from Los AlamosNational Laboratory was knowledgeable inmuon imaging says that it's a remarkablefind he's even a bit envious if the teamwho made Discovery Moana radiographyworks by using muons which are tinysubatomic particles that are constantlyshowering Earth from a cosmic rayscolliding with our atmosphere scientistscan detect these muons with specialfilms and detectors that track their 3Dmovements since muons can pass itthrough an empty spaces more quickly andsolid materials scientists can map outthe solid and empty parts of a structureby placing multiple muon detectorsaround it Roy schwitters a particlephysicist from the University of Texasat Austin says the muons are just rightas they lose enough energy forscientists to detect them but not somuch that they get absorbed by theTarget kunihiro morashima a physicistfrom Nagoya University led a team thatplaced muon detectors inside the GreatPyramids starting in December 2015 andthe collected data for several months inMarch 2016 researchers were surprised tofind that a part inside the pyramid wasletting more muons through than theythought this meant there was a 100 footlong empty space that looked like thegrand Gallery two other teams from Japanand France worked to check the resultsfrom August 2016 to July 2070. each useda different way to see the muons andfound the same thing a big empty spacethe results were very accurate andshowed that there was less than a one inmillion chance that it was a mistake theco-author of the study at Medi tayubisaid that they have yet to learn muchabout the empty space but they know itexists which was unexpected while noneof these teams has a clue what the voidis egyptologists have already come upwith some theories a Cambridgearchaeologist Spence thinks the voidcould have been used during theconstruction the Great Pyramid as a rampto move the massive blocks into placeSpence says the position of the Voidsupports this Theory and that it's toowell placed for anything else anegyptologist at the American Universityin Cairo salima ikram believes thevoid's location above the rent Gallerymight indicate its connection to theconstruction of the corridor however shehumorously adds that speculation isalways welcome but it's best to take itwith a grain of salt but unlike theresearchers who know that theseassumptions are precisely thatassumptions Hancock offers no suchoption he ultimately believes that theexistence of the empty space once againproves that he was right about assumingthat some genius civilization wasresponsible for the pyramids he arguesthat the pyramid was not simply a tombfor a pharaoh as is often assumed butwas instead a kind of machine that wasdesigned to harness and manipulateenergy you know 10 feet of solid Stoneabove the grand gallery and then abovethat what looks like another grandGallery in other words it raises thepossibility that there is an entireconcealed previously undiscoveredpassageway system inside the GreatPyramid according to Hancock the void isevidence of an advice advancedtechnology that was used by an ancientcivilization that possessed knowledgethat we have yet to ReDiscover he arguesthat the space could have been used forany number of purposes including energystorage or transmission Hancock alsobelieves that the discovery of the Voidis part of a larger pattern ofdiscoveries that have been made inrecent years he points to what otherancient structures around the world suchas the temples of Malta and themegaliths of South America which hebelieves are part of a network ofsimilar structures that were built bythe same Advanced civilizationstructures such as Stonehenge in Englandand the pyramids in Egypt were builtusing Advanced engineering techniques inprecise astronomical alignmentsaccording to Hancock this level ofsophistication is not consistent withthe Primitive technology and knowledgeof the time they found what they believeis evidence for a huge void above thegrand gallerythat has never been known before theegyptologists have been so resistant tothis saying this is nonsense there can'tbe we don't basically we there can't beanything new that we don't know about orif it is it's just trivial it's justsomeum space between the Rocks it's nothingimportant and this isn't even the halfof it one of his most fascinatingtheories is about the Great Sphinx ofGiza in Egypt Hancock believes that theSphinx is much older than previouslythought and that it too is a remnant ofA Lost Civilization that was destroyedby a catastrophic event around 12 000years ago according to Hancock theconventional dating of the Sphinx iswrong he argues that these Sphinx wasnot built during the reign of pharaohkafra as most archaeologists believe butmuch earlier during a period of humanhistory that has been forgotten and hehas bits of evidence to back it up firsthe points the erosion patterns on theSphinx which he says not consistent withthe erosion caused by wind and sand overthe centuries instead He suggests thatthe erosion was caused by water whichwould indicate that the Sphinx was builtduring a wetter period in Egypt'shistory around 10 500 BC this is acontroversial claim as mainstreamarchaeologists argue that erosionpatterns are consistent with wind andsand erosion second Hancock believesthese Sphinx is much older than thePyramids of Giza which are generallydated to around 2500 BC He suggests thatthe Sphinx was built by a civilizationthat was much more advanced andattributes them for its existence aswell Hancock points to the mythologiesand legends of many cultures around theworld that speak of a great flood orother catastrophic events that destroyeda previous civilization of courseHancock's theories have been met with alot of skepticism from mainstreamarchaeologists and historians they arguethat there is no evidence of LostCivilization that predates the ancientEgyptians and that these Sphinx wasbuilt by the same people who built thepyramids they also point out that theSphinx is facing deweast which suggeststhat it was built as a solar Monument asthe ancient Egyptians were obsessed withthe sun and its movements howeverHancock's theory has also gained a lotof support from alternative researchersand those who are interested in ancientMysteries many people find his argumentscompelling and they're drawn to the ideathat there is a lost chapter of humanhistory that has been erased from thehistory books one of the most intriguingaspects of Hancock's theory is hissuggestion that the Sphinx contained ahidden chamber or tunnel he believesthat there are clues in the ancienttexts and myths that suggest theexistence of such a chamber and thatthis chamber may contain the secrets ofthe Lost Civilization that build theSphinx of course we are yet to find anyevidence to support his claims but thereis one part of all his theories that wehave yet to explore further and that isthe cataclysmic event the brought asudden end to this Advanced civilizationHancock is one of the few at theForefront who can be seen pushing histheory further into the Limelightaccording to him the Earth hasexperienced cataclysmic event in thepast such as floods earthquakes andmeteor impacts which have wiped outAdvanced civilizations and caused theextinction of innumerous species thestory was of a great Advancedcivilizationthat had been destroyed in an enormousflood and that floodcan be dated because Plato tells us whatthe Egyptian priests told so long whenSolon asked when was Atlantis submergedbeneath the ocean in fact Hancock statedthat the human race is a species withamnesia and we have simply forgottenthat we are not the first Advanced raceto set foot on this planet and that ifyou were to look back twelve thousandeight hundred years ago you would see acivilization that was decimated by anatural cataclysm called the youngerdryas if you don't know the youngerdryas was a period of time when theearth's climate underwent a rapid andsignificant change the planet had beenwarming for thousands of years butaround 12 800 years ago temperaturessuddenly dropped and the planet ended aperiod of cold and dry weather thatlasted for more than a thousand yearsthis so the theory claims had asignificant impact on human civilizationleading to the end of many Advancedcultures and The Disappearance ofvarious species of plants and animalsthere have been many theories proposedto explain the end of the younger dryercivilization of one of the most widelyaccepted theories is that it was causedby a massive comet impact according tothis Theory a comet or asteroid struckthe Earth causing widespread destructionand triggering the onset of the youngerdriest period this theory is supportedby the discovery of a layer of sedimentat several sites around the world thatcontain high levels of iridium a raremetal typically found inextraterrestrial objects another theoryproposes that the end of the youngerdryas was caused by a massive release offresh water from the North American icesheet this Theory suggests that as theice sheet melted a massive amount offresh water was released into the oceandisrupting ocean currents and leading tothe onset of the younger trius thistheory is supported by the discovery oflarge freshwater lakes in the NorthAmerican region that dates back to theirtime there are also theories thatsuggest the end of the younger dryas wascaused by a combination of actorsincluding volcanic activity solarchanges and changes in ocean currentsthese theories propose that the youngerdryas was the result of a complexinterplay of various natural forces thatled to significant changes in theearth's climate ancient apocalypse 12800 years ago that wiped that from thehuman memory banks almost completely notentirely completely because they weresurvivors but removed most of it ratherwill tell you sea level rise it createsa powerful high energy Zone butregardless of the cause the end of theyounger dryers had a significant impacton human civilization many Advancedcultures including the Clovis culture inNorth America and the Folsom culture inSouth America disappeared during thisperiod it is believed these significantchanges in the environment and theavailability of resources made itdifficult for these cultures to survivethe end of the younger dryas also had asignificant impact on the Nash naturalworld many species of plants intoanimals disappeared during this periodincluding the mammoth the Sabretoothtiger and the giant sloth It is believedthat the changes in the environment madeit difficult for these species tosurvive leading to their Extinction inshort hours is not the first AdvancedGlobe straddling civilization to haveexisted on this planet there was anotherin the very distant past now completelylost but why are scientists andarchaeologists not open to thesetheories so Graham Hancock has been on amission for many years to uncover thesages who he believes brought uscivilization however despite all hisefforts he has not been able to provideenough evidence to persuadearchaeologists that the standardtimeline of human history needs to beradically changed he believes that themainstream science is limited by auniformitarian model of slow gradualchange and therefore cannot accept acatastrophic explanation for the originsof civilizationbut the truth is that this isn'tentirely accurate in fact mainstreamscience has a long history of embracingcatastrophism to explain some of thebiggest events in our history from TheBig Bang to the formation of the Moonfrom meteor strikes the extinction ofthe dinosaurs and from the suddencollapse of ancient civilizations to thepresent-day effects of climate changescientists have long recognized the rolethat Southern and catastrophic eventscan play in shaping the world we live inalso many experts in the field ofdedicated their careers do studyingthese events and have developedincredibly sophisticated theories andmodels to help us understand them sowhile Hancock's ideas have not beenwidely accepted by the archaeologicalCommunity it's worth noting that thescientific Community as a whole is nostrange as the idea of catastrophism itis a concept that's been around for along time and continues to play acrucial role in our understanding of theworld we live in real magicians thescientists who have worked tirelessly tounravel the mysteries of our past andpresent and will continue to push theboundaries of what we know and what wethink is possible
