Why Does The Left Consider This Documentary So Dangerous?
While PSI doesn’t normally post videos like this, anytime a political group or party clamors to shut something down, we tend to smell a rat and push back on such needless censorship.
A new video discusses why the Left hates a widely popular documentary on Netflix that argues that there was a lost global civilization that existed on Earth some 12,000 years ago but it was wiped out in a cataclysm that erased most traces of it. The doc is called Ancient Apocalypse.
So why does the Left consider it so dangerous? As Matt Walsh, the narrator pictured above says, it’s because it is one of the most popular shows on Netflix, and “it seems to exist solely for conspiracy theorists.” That’s according to the left-wing rag The Guardian.
Walsh thinks the prior global civilization theory is a bit silly, but he liked that it sparks the imagination and annoys far-left newspapers, even if it’s “outlandish.”
Some pundits are even calling it racist, the catch-all word used by the Left to send shudders down any corporation’s spine.
The show is no different than the History channel’s Ancient Aliens, one of the channel’s longest-running, most popular shows. WATCH:

Worlds in Collision by Immanuel Velikovsky published in the 1950s and who was demonized for all his writings, says the same thing about ancient civilizations. He believed that the Earth “turned over” every 12,500 years due to a magnetic pole shift and causing a “Noah event”.
Currently both the magnetic poles are on the move with the South pole leaving Antarctica and the North pole making landfall in Siberia.

Hi Max and other PSI Readers.
Thanks for reminding us that “Worlds in Collision by Immanuel Velikovsky was published in the 1950’s. I doubt, but do not know, that only a few of us readers were aware of this book and of Velikovshy’s scholarship. While it is fact that he referred to ancient ideas (myths) of ancient civilizations, he did this to conclude that Venus was not always the planet we see orbiting the Sun today. Instead his central thesis was that Venus originally had a comet like orbit about the Sun with a period of about a century.
So the Worlds in Collision were Venus and the Earth. FACT of the reason for the title of his book.
Have a good day, Jerry

Hi SUNMOD PSI Administrator,
For years I have had the same email address and the same internet provider and had no problem getting my articles routinely posted and my comments immediately posted. Now PSI has begun using a new software and it is my email which is the error and you expect me to correct your new software’s problem. Which I have tried to do by following instructions. But in trying to contact my internet provider I am unable to contact a live agent to help me do what you have suggested I do to correct your software’s problem,
Have a good day, Jerry

Hello Jerry,
The software that was added FOUR MONTHS ago after I pointed out their old software problem is a vast improvement over the old one because it now does the job successfully by over a 99% rate while the old one was probably around 50% successful rate which is really bad and a chore for any moderator (just me here most of the time) to deal with every day to keep compensating over the high failure rate because it was letting many spam daily get posted that I had to delete now with a different software sends the spam posts into the administration board instead, but it put just only YOU into automatic permanent moderation because your IP is a spam problem but lucky for you, I didn’t ban you as I can see your contributions are real and you are not acting like a spammer at all it is your IP that is contaminated.
No one else here has your problem because their IP is clean enough to have their posts approved automatically. I am not trying anything against you I have been patiently approving your posts every day for 4 months despite your compromised IP.
You left out the letter i in your e-mail address in your previous post which is why suddenly had zero posts to your name when I corrected it went back to 3,986 comments approved again then I approved it.
Maybe if you REGISTER here then your problem will vanish, I will consult the webmaster to see if this will fix the problem.

LOL,
I sent your comment link in an e-mail, and it fails to reach one of the recipients because your comment is recognized as high probability as being spam.
This is a new one for me as this is first time, I have seen this after being moderator/administrator for 13 years.
Your IP via comment here is considered spam by his e-mail website….. thus rejected.

In both cases, the mod box was displayed. Any future cases will be screen grabbed.
First one was a single entry, not two and it was deleted as I watched. It stated, “And the truth shall set you free”. Other people’s comments were similarly short one liners, but weren’t touched.
Second was: November 24, 2022 at around 10:43 pm It was a YouTube link. Previous links untouched. My immediate comment after was allowed.
Since you are not aware of the reason for mod queue and deletion, I can only assume somebody else does, or your ‘new’ software is faulty. Therefore I trust It will not happen again?
(There are three moderators for this website, I do most of the work in the front end while the other two do most of the work in the back end part because that is my role here, but I am not going to delete posts for no reason) SUNMOD

“I am not going to delete posts for no reason”
Nobody suggested you ever did. So are you willing to receive reports via email should it happen again, as part of a bug hunt?
I shall perform a test now.

The test I ran was to submit the same comment twice in succession. It failed with: “Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!”
Last time I saw that was when the site ran really slow with the 500 errors. Therefore is the reason for my suspicions.

“Last time I saw that was when the site ran really slow with the 500 errors.”
That is from the server host not here which I haven’t seen since I have been here.
There were changes made since I became Administrator that stopped the big problem.
The admin board doesn’t show any current problems and the folders are completely empty, Spam, Pending, and Trash.
Always open to e-mail reports of problems here as it helps the Administration team.

My point was that I cannot double post if I try, nor could I for as far as I know.
“Always open to e-mail reports of problems here as it helps the Administration team.”
Thank you. I will let the subject rest. 🙂

Hello Judith,
It’s a mystery that needs solving, so if you get a moderated post warning, send an email via the ‘contact us’ link top right.
Save any lengthy posts before submission so you don’t lose them.
You should not be able to double post, so may need to change the wording a bit on second submission. In any case, make a test post immediately after your modded post to see if it passes.
Deletion is by manual intervention, so somebody is doing it, even if mod queue is automatic detection and addition based on software. Still, unless somebody states something particularly frowned on, doesn’t one need to be added to the modded user list beforehand? All very odd.
All Admin actions would normally be logged, but operating outside of the normal avenues would hide such actions. What I’m saying is, I guess it’s possible there could be a security issue and a third party has access to the Admin controls/site software?

I thought it was an interesting show. Graham Hancook is not well loved by many historians and archeologists. To them, most of that science is settled in the same way that fake global warming is. And that is why the left hates this show because it suggests that there was an glacial ice age some 13,000-20,000 years ago. The left hates ice, snow and glaciers and cold weather. They believe the earth is going to melt in 10 years.

Interesting article and video.
The most obvious point is this is remarkably light on facts or actual theory of Graham Hancook.
Is this People Magazine??
It might be interesting to learn about how one civilization, presumably prior to last Ice Age, both survived then handed down information at the similar time-frame people from Kamchatka were walking across the Bearing Straights to Alaska, then south to all of North and South America.

Hi Kevin. Glad you liked the article/video or whatever. I am only looking at your last statement, really. For the record, I’m interested in many things, and have the good common sense to not read the things that don’t appeal to me. so, really, what’s your problem? You have no ability to skip the articles you don’t like? And why, might I add, should you decide what others have the opportunity to read? and just to make it perfectly clear, the only relationship I have with PSI is as a reader that happens to enjoy the wide range of material presented here. Like I said, if I don’t have any interest in a given article, I just skip it. I suggest you try the same technique. I am in no way speaking for the editors.

And there it is: when you don’t have a rebuttal, you resort to name-calling and insults. This isn’t Twitter. Nothing Tom said warranted such a nasty remark. As they say, if you don’t like something, change the channel. That’s what adults do.

Yes, Tom O and JK,
I ask a question, “Where is the supporting evidence?”
Answer was, “Blah, blah, blah, we’ll get back to you in a year or two.”

Dear Ant,
I do not have a ‘narrow worldview’. I am interested in true reality, true science.
I have no interest in gobbledly-gook speculation.
As I stated previously,
Respectfully, the article is interesting, yet presents no evidence to support the theory.
Pronounced ZERO EVIDENCE.

Hello Kevin
Ah yes. Thomas Kuhn and the paradigm shift. The archeologists don’t like change. I’m watching the series and oh boy does it give the comeuppance the archeologists need. The facts are the sites themselves. You want citations go and look them up. Graham Hancock named the places for you.
History is replete, where persons of renown tried to maintain the status quo and eventually were shown to be demonstrably wrong.

Climate Heretic,
You state there is ample evidence to support this theory, but I would need to follow the authors website or other articles in order to get said evidence.
Obviously, you missed my point.
I am not questioning the ‘Theory’. I am simply questioning the evidence.
Typically, a grown up person writing an article provides sources of evidence to support their article. Such as, “Yesterday, according to the local TV station, the temperature outside peaked at 43 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Today, instead of actually reading a book nor doing research, folks like you just say, “Google it!”
Who controls Google? Which translates to ‘who controls information’.

Doyle, you are mistaken. Graham Hancock provides copious evidence in his writing, with references and footnotes to the actual papers, or other documentation. If there is one thing Hancock is, it is extremely diligent in digging up supporting evidence and sharing it.
Take a look at the first 30 pages of his book “America Before” available on Amazon, which Amazon provides a “look inside” of the 1st 30 pages:
https://www.amazon.com/America-Before-Earths-Lost-Civilization/dp/1250153735/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3JUSOYK2R6UA2&keywords=graham+hancock&qid=1670159923&sprefix=graham%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-6&asin=1250756952&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1
By page 30 of 620 pages, he is up to footnote 46! I say again your assertion Hancock is devoid of evidence is mistaken!
Now is a documentary going to have footnotes to the evidence? That is doubtful – but in viewing his talks with various interviewers, he mentions the papers and references when addressing a particular topic – you would need to look them up or read one of his books for the details. So if you have not looked them up or read any of his books, then refrain from accusations of “there is no evidence”.

15k years ago, the world’s population must have been somewhere. Probably near the sea. Which was about 100m lower than now, thanks to the ice then in the glaciers that covered most of the Northern hemisphere. So any traces of their environment and existence will be difficult to get at now, but will likely be near the equator. Some have been found it seems, in the Pacific, at 100m below todays sea level. Corals grow it seems.

Hi PSI Readers,
I ask you to focus on the “header image” and the snow portion of the Dakotas and western Minnesota and the snow portion that extends far further south from Lake Superior. If one does not do this, one will never simply understand the variable weather (climate) which has a strong relationship to the Earth’s variable surfaces not significantly influenced seasonally by the Earth’s mountains.
To begin to better understand the Dakotas variable “climate” one best read John P. Bluemle’s, a real geologist (scientist), book “North Dakota’s Geologic Legacy”.

Hi PSI Readers,
I make this comment here because it seems these PSI commenters seem to have short attention spans as they they drop their exchange of opinions to a new article and begin another exchange of opinions.
I ask: Why was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1869-1930) Knighted? Possible answer: “Scottish writer best known for his creation of the detective Sherlock Holmes—one of the most vivid and enduring characters in English fiction.” (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Arthur-Conan-Doyle)
Regular PSI Readers may know that I often quote what I have read. In my collection of quotes I have only five quotes of Sherlock’s (Doyles). The first is: “There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.” To understand this I had to look up the definition of “deceptive”. Deceptive: “adjective, giving an appearance or impression different from the true one; misleading”. (New Oxford American Dictionary) I claim, since I have never read it, to have created a shorter quote, The most obvious is most difficult to see, based upon Doyle’s quote which should not require an English reader to lookup any definitions.
Another English author, R.C. Sutcliffe, FRS, a meteorologist, wrote: “Clouds which do not give rain, which never even threaten to give rain but which dissolve again into vapour before the precipitation stage is ever reached, have a profound effect on climate.” (pp 33, Weather and Climate, 1966). And I finally have looked up the definition of FRS. “Fellow of the Royal Society”(Wikipedia).
I ask: Why is the wisdom of these quotes of these honored men being ignored?

Hi PSI Readers,
This comment about a 1979 physical science textbook titled ‘PHYSICAL SCIENCE—A Dynamic Approach by the author Robert T. Dixon (Riverside City College). In the preface Dixon began: “This book has grown out of a series of lectures that have been presented, with great success, to students who typically have little or no back ground in science or mathematics.”
At Abe’s Books I find two used copies are available. One for $5.35 with free shipping within the USA and the other in the UK for $37.49 and shipping to the USA for $14.56. So, it seems the UK book seller considers this textbook qualifies as a “rare book”. Hence, I make this comment so if anyone has a interest in some quotes from this book, I would be very happy to share what Dixon lectured and wrote.
This book has two appendixes about planets. The first about the ‘Orbital Data of the Planets and the second about Physical and Rotational Data for the Planets. This data includes three periods of each dynamic planet: Sidereal period, Synodic period, Period of Rotation. I draw attention to these periods so, if you are at all interested in the dynamical data of our solar system’s planets, you can look online for what the times of the these three periods are observed (measured) to be.
Have a good day, Jerry

Hi PSI Readers,
I love challenges (doing things I have never done). But my challenges are far lower than what has never been done by anyone. Galileo invented physical science. Since he probably did not know that people at Stonehenge had dug 56 regularly spaced holes in a near circular pattern to monitor where the sun and moon rose over the eastern horizon nearly 2000 years before Galileo demonstrated his physical science activity.
It seems it is insurmountable challenge for some people to see this today. And while the Wright Bros successfully flew the first heavier than air aircraft because they had cheated as they studied soaring birds such as eagles, buzzards, etc.
And I read that two scientists used the experimental results of several alchemists to independently discover the periodic law of the elements. But only one saw that properties were more important than mass. And we read that two independently discovered the mathematical principles of Calculus. But one accused Newton of coping his reasoning, while at the same time he did not know when Newton had made his achievement. But for the most part, scientists honor those who are first with an idea; hence Principia Scientific International.
Have a good day, Jerry
