It's superficial to the part of the overall history that it's relevant to. The site the carbon dated thing was relating to is not really central or the most important thing to the overall picture Hancock has reported on

It really does look like you like Hancock...you're right back in that corner, like he is time and time again.
He has done so much harm, yet people still think he is helping us. It is thanks to people like him that we'll never get taken seriously.

The problem today is you have specialist scientists and if they want to be paid the big money they have to specialise so much they can't be very active in any other field.
Now I know im generalising here, but its obvious to see scientists working in isolation.How many archaeologist when trying to understand how a culture used an artifact or discovered their technologies.

I've heard 1000-7000 quoted before although I have not dug out the actual figure.

I think his background in journalism is why he can find the facts, and get to the real story of what's going on better than most conventional scientists.
No, it's the reason he can ignore the facts that have been discovered and verified by scientists.
His background in journalism does serve him well, though. It is this background that allows him to write fantasy and make it seem like reality to you.
Originally posted by Kilik11No one can deny that what many conventional scientists do is stick their head in the sand when it comes to a lot of these things. Those people as much as they claim to be sicentists and objective, are clearly not being anything close to as objective as hancock.
Scientists are interested in evidence, not speculation. Hancock literally avoids evidence at every turn. This is because the evidence, though convincing, actually contradicts what he says. That doesn't sell many books.
Originally posted by Kilik11That's why he finds the truth, while they study pottery shard after pattery shard, not actually knowing anything about that time really, whereas Graham Hancock finds the actual context of the finds.
That is one of the most asurd statements I've ever read at ATS. What, in your mind, constitutes "context?" Listen up, the pottery shards are the "context."

Watch out or he'll "find the keys" to your safe deposit box.

I'm sorry.... but scientists as a rule aren't paid that highly! Engineers, yes. Chemists... sometimes. Archaeologists and paleontologists -- try $40-$50k/year. Field crew makes $10/hour.
I had on average 3 months out of the year where we all worked for the LOVE of it and all the FREE BEER you could drink!
GH just sells books and takes poetic license to a new level.
I recommend, for a starting place: After the Ice: A Global Human History 20,000-5000 BC, by Steven Mithen.
I've dug and shard hunted a couple of these sites and have studied the findings of most the others. Great book for those who have a none Anthro background.
