David Wengrow The Nation Dec 22, 2022
Ancient Apocalypse sets a trap for people like me. In it, archaeologists are portrayed not just as suppressors of the truth but also as inveterate snobs and dogmatists... Go to Full Review
James Delingpole The Spectator Dec 12, 2022
There were times when I felt as if, at every turn, Hancock’s fascinating ideas were being undermined by a series producer determined to make him look a bit slippery and unreliable. Go to Full Review

Jeffrey F @LoremasterJ Jan 4, 2026 Pseudo-archaeology nonsense. Graham Hancock is a liar and a grifter out to make money on eroding trust in real science and archaeology. Don't waste your time watching this garbage as there is more entertaining fiction out there. See more Iker B @RT22997113 Dec 7, 2024 Graham Hancock may be full of crap, and his proposals should be taken with a hefty helping of salt, but this is a genuinely interesting series, that is entertaining, but should not be labeled as "infotainment" as much of the "information" is just wrong, or cherry-picked. An entertaining series to turn your brain off to, nonetheless. Comparable to "Ancient Aliens" And similar shows on The History Channel. The 3D renders of the ancient sites are beautiful too. See more Christopher L @RT09720232 Oct 27, 2024 I love stuff like this that pushes the norms of society. See more Larry S @RT36499460 Oct 17, 2024 Fantastically entertaining and thought-provoking, as documentary should be! See more Konrad D @dobbie Sep 19, 2024 Fascinating stuff! Kind of reminds me of Ancient Aliens. Really fun to think about and very interesting to see all the ancient sites and listen to the theories surrounding the unknown. Loved it! Looking forward for season two. See more Alexander P @RT98378396 Aug 3, 2024 I really enjoyed it and got his book after watching it. Can recommend for spiritual and mystical ideas of the human past beyond mainstream. See more Read all reviews
