  You don't need Aliens to make ancient history fascinating. All you need is a British guy talking excitedly about possibilities

  The Amazon is amazing to be honest. If you have Prime it’s even better.

  I swear I’ve learned more interesting things watching and listening to JRE than I have my entire school career.

  I live in South America, the Amazon rainforest runs right through Guyana, I have indigenous friends who do tours and take foreigners around planned sights. My best fiend acts as a guide sometimes and he’s told me that I should always respect the rainforest, that it has the ability to swallow you up and make you a mystery just like everything in it. In Guyana it’s called the land of giants. And believe me when I say everything is big here. So when he would see jaguars and birds, even insects, they are absolutely huge. His family would say that everything in the jungle has a spirit and if you respect them, they will respect you.

  Imagine this guy being your grandpa and telling you countless stories on a silent/rainy night with the sound of burning wood

  I’m always so impressed at GH’s ability to talk in almost finished book form. No ummms or uhhs, just completely coherent sentences. It’s a rare gift<br><br>Edit: for all the pedantics who manage to find an occasional “uh”, congratulations! I commented further in the thread on this subject. He is a very impressive speaker, end of story.

  Lidar technology is changing the game. Finding 60,000 hidden Mayan structures in a tiny country like Guatemala proves mainstream archaeology has been looking at history with its eyes shut. The Amazon is a colossal mystery.

  Joe needs to get Graham back on the show. I need a update on what else they have discovered in the amazon forest in 2 years.

  The most shocking thing to me is that the Amazon is not the natural wonder it&apos;s always been portrayed as....it&apos;s a garden that went out of control after the people tending it died out.

  Listening to Graham Hancock has inspired me to try and make my own Terra Preta, even though it won&apos;t be perfect. For anyone interested, I&apos;m using the following ingredients: <br> <br>- Peat-free natural soil <br>- Biochar <br>- 30 parts carbon waste (shredded cardboard) to 1 part nitrogen waste (banana peel, orange peel, and apple core) <br>- Chicken, lamb, and cuttlefish bones <br>- Cow feces <br>- Clay granules <br>I&apos;m currently in the process of mixing these ingredients together. After mixing, I plan to water it and keep it moist for a year without planting anything to allow it to mature and decompose. It already has that fresh countryside smell that shop-bought enriched soils don&apos;t have. <br> <br>Thank you, Graham, for the inspiration!
