Graham Hancock, formerly a foreign correspondent for "The Economist," has been an international bestselling author for more than 30 years with a series of books, notably "Fingerprints of the Gods," "Magicians of the Gods" and "America Before," which investigate the controversial possibility of a lost civilization of the Ice Age destroyed in a global cataclysm some 12,000 years ago. Graham is the presenter of the hit Netflix documentary series "Ancient Apocalypse." Flint Dibble is an archaeologist at Cardiff University who has conducted field work and laboratory analyses around the Mediterranean region from Stone Age caves to Egyptian tombs to Greek and Roman cities. Flint enjoys sharing archaeology - from the nitty gritty to the grand - with people around the world.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
The idea of a pre-flood civilization has been around for several hundred years.
Graham ignores most of the evidence for hunter-gatherers in the ice age.
The oldest domesticated crops we have go back about 11,000 years.
I think Graham has acknowledged that there's a good chance there's no metallurgy, for example, with this civilization.

I find in general that people don't really understand what modern archaeology is about.
