Graham Hancock is back with his documentary series Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix. The series shows Hancock set on a hunt for evidence to prove the existence of the forgotten past. According to Hancock, this civilisation dates back to the Ice Age and is the most advanced civilisation in the history of mankind.
Graham Hancock has tried to solve the puzzle that he’s created after his extensive research that has expanded for almost three decades. Through his documentary, Graham is trying to prove his theory that there is, indeed, a lost and forgotten civilisation which dates back to the Ice Age.
Graham believes that this lost civilisation did not just comprise of hunters or gatherers but, had artists and engineers and was much more advanced than its successive civilisations.
Ancient Apocalypse: Plot
The series is based on the journey of a journalist who takes us through the labyrinths of the world. As such, this documentary does not have a plot which needs to be followed. Every episode is shot in a new place, with new facts that are presented to the audience.
From Indonesia’s Gunung Padang to Turkey’s Derinkuyu, Graham extensively investigated each and every archaeological site for evidence to prove his theory. Even if you miss an episode, you can continue with the next one but, since Graham presents his viewers with so many historical facts, we would not recommend skipping.
In Ancient Apocalypse, Graham has tried to delve into the past and share with us how civilisations collapsed after being hit by apocalypses.

Ancient Apocalypse: Review
It all comes down to this: Do you or do you not love watching Discovery channels?
If your answer is yes, you are going to love Ancient Apocalypse. The host, Graham Hancock, is a passionate journalist who has, at times, been the target of trolls and haters. Despite being humiliated so many times, Graham has not given up on his theory and is adamant about proving it to the world.
As far as the show’s cinematography is considered, it is one of the key elements that kept us hooked to the show. Beautiful aerial shots of the picturesque historical monuments and sights blew our minds. The videographer did justice to the grandeur of these monuments.
Graham has officially become a threat to archaeologists with his statements and evidence. He calls them out for trying to hide the reality from people. It is an extremely provocative series. Hancock has gone around the world to explore how different civilisations collapsed.

What we really liked about the documentary is that in his journey, Graham also shared with us traditional and cultural facts from around the world. It is educational and entertaining, thanks to Hancock’s sense of humour.
The documentary is an educational series with cultural folklore and social history. Graham has tried his best to educate his audience. He also joined hands with scientists like, geologist Danny Hilman Natawidjaja and University of Calgary anthropologist and archaeologist, Geoff McCafferty.
It is a series based on history and speculations that surround history. Historical facts always need strong proof to be accepted by the world. This is where Graham fails. His words are still theories that are yet to be proved. Whatever he says can be regarded as speculation since he is himself searching for evidence. At times, he himself questions the evidence to be surprising. This further shakes our trust in him.
Hollow words are not going to prove themselves, Graham. We are so sorry, but you need to work even harder to convince us. At 72, the man’s dedication is praiseworthy but if you really need recognition, you will need to prove your words.
Netflix needs to be given credit it deserves for dropping this series with the controversial Graham Hancock. For decades, the theorist has been locking horns with historians and archaeologists from around the world by challenging their ‘proven’ works.
Ahead of the launch, Graham tweeted that the series took 2 years to film, which, honestly, we believe in whether or not we believe in Hancock’s theories.
Ancient Apocalypse is currently streaming on Netflix.

While short and to the point, I can’t find any flaws in your analysis of this review, and thus concur whole heartedly. It’s a hit piece.
I was trying to reply to the first comment, which simply said, “This review sucks by the way.” After seeing where they posted my comment, it made far less sense, so I’m hoping this clarifies lol.
I think his theory is much more plausible than ancient aliens. Archeologists do label these massive and intricate undocumented structures as mysteries as well but are not allowed to admit it due to the limiting features of the scientific process itself and out of fear of being ostracized and publicly ridiculed…lets face the facts about that problem itself, funding is only given to research that bears fruit relatively quickly and follows scientific doctrine to a t. That means that larger all encompassing theories aimed at unraveling more difficult problems buried deeply in our past are simply not funded..period.
So you erase my reply to your article because it mentioned all of your grammatical errors? That’s why you will always be a hack and failed journalist.
A little aggressive, but I was wondering how this writer got a job as well.
This was great work. The show reminds us to never rule out new perspectives regardless of what is considered undisputed fact.
Watched this and got through one and a half episodes before I tapped out. It’s laughable some parts. Pass for me.
Netflix really. This was not good at all. I thought ancient aliens was bad but this guy puts out statements that he says he’s not even sure if he believed. At least give us some credentials for the people you said we’re scientists. I had high hopes to.
This series was just plain bad. Sadly, too. Odd hypotheses with no facts to back up his claims, and I agree with the other review above: I think Graham said that he’s not sure if what he was stating was a legitimate claim. Really? If that’s the case, you could make up any claim, and say it might be true. Like Micky Mouse built the pyramids with his magic wand, and that was the impetus for Fantasia. In the end, this was most certainly a cash grab for Graham. Well done on that!
If a theory is in contrary with what you believe is RIGHT, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s utterly wrong. It may have other significant perspective. As you all know it took quite a long struggle to prove earth is not flat. May be its difficult to approach a mass,with our new perspective, where they believe what ever so done is accurate to it’s efficiency. The people who collectively insult such deviated work from mainstream, might like to play safe because they strongly want to be a part of so called majority- mainstream. We have always been taught how scientists and researchers always tried new theories, it is not necessary for all the theories to be correct but considering the possibility is not a sin.Maybe if the scientist have not considered the possibility of electricity, the situation being taken on account we might still have enjoyed the sweet long dark nights. It’s completely my POV.
bullshit review
Read Quran you will find many evidence of many civilizations that were lost and in the past. After that all the great cataclysm which almost wiped earth out. Me as a Muslim i can see clear evidence in Graham’s theory of the civilizations & Nations that where destroyed putting Quran as my source.
