Ancient Apocalypse - the name of the series. He shared on Joe Rogan's podcast that he will do a second season if the first one is a success.

Dont know why your getting downvoted, both Hancock and Rogan are awful excuses for human beings

EmotionalSuportPenis t1_ixp6e4f wrote

Because much like every other cult, Hancock fans are effectively impossible to convince that he's a total fraud. So every time anyone (rightly) criticizes him, they get downvoted and usually accused of being part of the secret cabal of archaeologists that are suppressing information for whatever reason.

They'll go the way of flat earthers and moon landing deniers eventually, but Rogan has been boosting the hell out of him.

It's just so frustrating. Just because we're shape-shifting lizards, normal humans, doesn't mean we control the disk world!!

Please speak with facts not just some idle talk and hateful speech for other people's work. At least they are not harming anyone, neither they are spreading personal frustrations.

I feel so sorry for even entering this discussion and being part of this hateful dialogue.

Purposeful misinformation, aka fraud, is harmful.

That's really sad you'd say that about someone rather than just that you don't think their ideas are right.

hexiron t1_ixq7nnl wrote

They're saying it about people who have been given ample empirical evidence their hypothesis are incorrect as well as ample opportunities to accept that reality.

Instead they choose not to, double down on ignorance, and spread fraudulent information for profit.

That's why they are horrible people.

VocalCord t1_ixrfe7g wrote

They prey on ignorance for profit.

They create fictitious narratives to promote their brands.

They try to draw parallels between fairytales and mountains of carefully accumulated scientific research, and then have the audacity to call it "free thinking".

Not only are they garbage humans, they are criminally dangerous and should be called out at every opportunity

Worth bitingo Hancock has the series on Netflix because his son works for Netflix in charge of procurement of this genre of program, not because the ideas have suddenly gained merit.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)


> An ancient cave complex thought to date from Kievan Rus' has been discovered in central Kyiv at Voznesensky Uzvoz.

> Dmytro Perov, a conservationist at Kyiv's Center for Urban Development, told Radio Kultura that the caves were discovered next to a demolished house that Kyiv housing authorities had deemed unsafe for habitation.

> Perov wrote on Facebook that the team scoured around 40 meters of caves, including the lower cave complex, which he claims is twice as long as the upper passage and has a series of "Radial branches." The most significant discovery, according to Petrov, was "a set of Kyivan Rus hieroglyphs and Varangian symbols from the Early Rus period," when the region was under the control of Varangian rulers.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rus%27_people

> The Rus' people (Old East Slavic: Рѹсь; Modern Belarusian, Russian, Rusyn, and Ukrainian: Русь, romanised: Rus'; Old Norse: Garðar; Greek: Ῥῶς, romanised: Rhos) were an ethnic group in early medieval eastern Europe. The scholarly consensus holds that they were originally Norse people, mainly originating from present-day Sweden, settling and ruling along the river-routes between the Baltic and the Black Seas from around the 8th to 11th centuries AD. They formed a state known in modern historiography as Kievan Rus', which was initially a multiethnic society where the ruling Norsemen merged and assimilated with East Slavic, Baltic and Finnic tribes, ending up with Old East Slavic as their common language. The elite of Kievan Rus' was still familiar with Old Norse until their assimilation by the second half of the 11th century,[1] and in rural areas vestiges of Norse culture persisted as late as the 14th and early 15th centuries.[1]

The Vikings were from the Swedish region of "Roslagen", hence the name "Rus", but that may be apocryphal.

What exactly are “Kyivan hieroglyphs”?

5

ArMcK t1_ixp09dz wrote

See autotldr's top comment for a summary. Basically, the hieroglyphics used by a culture called the Kievan Rus (Kievan meaning centered around Kiev Kyiv, and Rus being sort of the larger culture's name--one believed to be descended from the Norse and which eventually became today's ethnic Russians).

Old slavonic language "...The first stage was when the Slavs were still pagans, so use dashes and serifs...The second stage was after the adoption of Christianity, when they began to write Roman and Greek inscriptions."

Are we living in a different world? Russia is is targeting everything in Ukraine, including theaters and hospitals, and you believe they won't target an archaeological site? Russians want to do a lot of damage to Ukrainian civilians, as we've seen in the past few months.

The ruzzians literally just bombed a maternity ward, killing a 2 day old baby. And you think that they won't bomb an archeological site just to erase the culture and heritage of Ukraine?

They absolutley won't bomb an archeological site (caves).

Oh sure. The people that steal museum artefacts, bomb theaters, bomb maternity wards, and have bombed many cultural and heritage sites surely won't bomb archeological sites, right? You ignorant rube

spiteful_rr_dm_TA t1_ixs75aa wrote

I don't know if you know this, but caves tend to have what are called "openings" or "entrances". These are holes in the ground that allow access to these caves, and these can be bombed to close them.

karma_aversion t1_ixr023g wrote

Anything that proves Ukraine has had a history separate from Moscow is a threat to the Russian propaganda machine that is trying to make Russians think Ukraine never really existed on its own. So they will probably try and destroy these caves at some point to not have this as a reminder of Ukraines past.

I think I saw this movie once. Now Zelenskyy will go into the cave, make a deal with the ancient demon trapped within, and emerge as a horrific (though strangely sexy) monster that will save Ukraine from Russia, albeit angsting about his nature all the way.
