  • Summary

  • Lex interviews Graham Hancock, a journalist and author who has written extensively about the possibility of a lost advanced civilization during the last Ice Age. Hancock argues that the sudden emergence of civilizations around the world approximately 10,000 years ago, after the Younger Dryas event, suggests that a more advanced civilization may have existed prior to this time. He cites the existence of megalithic sites like Göbekli Tepe, the alignment of the Great Pyramids at Giza with the constellation Orion, and the presence of astronomical symbolism in ancient myths and traditions as evidence of a lost civilization. Hancock also discusses the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, a theory that suggests a cometary impact caused the Younger Dryas event and its accompanying climate shift. Finally, Hancock explores the role of shamanism and psychedelics in human history and argues that they may have been instrumental in the development of human civilization.
