Johnny Loftus Decider 10/20/2024
Ancient Apocalypse: The Americas is only interested in using legitimate scientific research as cheap fodder for the grandiose, unproven theories of one guy, who also seems convinced that every single archaeologist ever has been out to get him. Go to Full Review

Aksel C Nov 19 The absolute worst kind of pseudoscience: ridiculous "insights" presented as truths that other scientists are unwilling to consider. Shows like this do severe damage to our understanding of the past. See more Lauren P 03/03/2025 Loved this show! GH is curious, passionate, and asking good questions. See more Kathryn P 12/18/2024 For me on these cold and rainy days in South Carolina, I have learned many things. I am binging it now and found it is interesting and somewhat educational. I have read other reviews that discredited. Therefore I googled some of his points and found most points of his discoveries were true but some are questionable. I gave it four stars because it is highly entertaining and has answered some questions about our heritage. See more Dan R 12/07/2024 Netflix's 'Ancient Apocalypse: The Americas' follows on from Series 1 but with a focus on North and South America. SYNOPSIS: 'What if everything we know about prehistory is wrong? Journalist Graham Hancock visits archaeological sites around the world investigating if a civilization far more advanced than we ever believed possible existed thousands of years ago.' This is a great documentary which asks so many more questions and provides more real time evidence on what was going on in pre-history. Hancock doesn't suggest that he is correct in his assumptions, but he highlights many global coincidences, and incidences that have occurred across massive geographical distances. More please. 7/10 See more Michael P 11/03/2024 What a great documentary. I always new that there is more on this planet then we know and now the research is starting to prove it. See more R M 11/03/2024 Very informative and well presented . See more Read all reviews
