    Whilst obviously not as atrocious as being in the Epstein files, Keanu did appear on pseudo-archeologist Graham Hancock’s “Ancient Apocalypse” who has been shitting a load of pseudoscience into current discussion about archaeology and ancient civilisation.

      So we’re a lot of legit scientists, who later said Graham Hancock manipulated the meaning of what was said through editing, or outright misrepresented them by surrounding what was said with a different context.

      was it on purpose or was it like when kate mulgrew unknowingly did voiceover for a geocentrism documentary?

          Flint Dibble’s debate in Joe Rogan was the desconstruction I needed to see to completley break the spell. Grahams stories really sparked my imagination and since I know very little about archeology, it was easy to not be more skeptic about his claims.

          Also looking at Grahams past interviews you can clearly see that he is a doomsday grifter.

            Graham should have been writing books and make movies, maybe. I can tell that his theories are factually better than that indiana jones movie with the crystal skull. Unfortunately, he believes in them. His ancient apocalypse concept would have made a fine fantasy setting.

      Dumbass take that entertaining ideas that the experts on archeology being wrong is like fucking children with billionaires. Like so dumbass it really doesn’t warrant much of a response other than, what?

      I guess we found the archeologist that is convinced he has all the answers to the unanswerable and instead of using reason to further his arguments prefers personal attacks on those putting forward alternate theories.

      Theories on subjects you have no way of knowing the answer to. Always beware those claiming to have all the answers, to questions we don’t have the data to have all the answers to. Regardless of whatever theories this guy you have a hard on for espouses.

          What does that have to do with the Israeli honeypot operation entrapping the swells in fucking children on tape to blackmail them?

          Nothing. Although I don’t doubt someone questioning what you are certain you are an expert in makes you mad, it’s not applicable to fucking children and being blackmailed with that by fascists.

          As if being an archeologist would give one the answers to the unanswerable anyway. The fact that you can’t accept you don’t have all the answers destroys your credibility in fact.

        Right there in the first line my guy, I didn’t even come close to saying that they were one and the same, just that Keanu isn’t as “heckin wholesome” as people always title their posts seem to think.
