Lost-Civilization Theory Frames Ancient Anomalies as a Modern Collapse Warning

Graham Hancock, the writer and presenter of Ancient Apocalypse, uses a long interview with Steven Bartlett to restate his disputed case that the accepted history of civilization may be missing a prehistoric chapter. He argues that myths, monuments, ancient maps, Amazonian earthworks and the Younger Dryas climate shock point to the possibility of an earlier knowledge-bearing civilization, while insisting he has not proved it. The deeper warning, for Hancock, is that modern civilization could also become a fragmentary memory if its technology continues to outrun its judgment.
