A presentation by Graham Hancock on the sneering arrogance and restrictive practices of a publicity-hungry group of archaeologists. These self-styled “debunkers” do no original work of their own and contribute nothing to human knowledge but instead spend their time attacking and seeking to destroy the work of others who don’t share their limited view of the past. The presentation is followed by a dialogue between Graham and Youtuber Dan Richards whose Dedunking the Past channel has turned the tables on archaeology’s increasingly toxic “debunking industry”. The presentation was filmed on Saturday evening 19 April 2025 as part of an event themed THE FIGHT FOR THE PAST held in Sedona, Arizona, over Easter weekend 2025 and organized by World ViewZ Media. Graham Hancock gave a series of talks, sometimes joined by others for on-stage conversations, at the Sedona Performing Arts Center. We’ll be releasing the videos of several more of those talks here, not necessarily in the order they were given, over the coming weeks.

“Controversial” always means “denial”.
What a legend. Shoulders so broad he has inspired not only a hundred spin offs and admirers’ channels, but also has given life meaning for his debunkers, no matter how unsuccessful their efforts may be.
Season 3 will be amazing.
Human empathy verses human tribalism all wrapped up with a mind that can be both rational and rationalizing at the same time. That is how I see our current situation.
What will get us through this?
The answer is “we” will not get through this. I think the autistic and the introverts will get through it and their generations will result in a humanity that has set aside their tribalism in order to benefit fully from the wonders that civilization can affect.
And that is my hopeful view, LOL.
