Archaeology WARNING: They Secretly Found Antarctica 300 Years Before Us - Graham Hancock
Summary
Steven Bartlett interviews author Graham Hancock, who faces imminent heart surgery and potential media attacks. Hancock argues for a lost pre-Ice Age civilization wiped out by a Younger Dryas comet impact around 12,800 years ago. He cites ancient myths, precise maps, and sites like Göbekli Tepe as evidence of advanced knowledge. Hancock warns that modern humanity risks repeating this self-destructive cycle through nuclear war and environmental neglect.
