  I’ve spent years chasing answers in documentaries, podcasts, even ancient texts—and none of it hit me the way The Obscured Principles book by Dorian Caine did. It’s like it was written for the few who are ready to break the illusion and remember who they really are.

  It is very weird that all of the major civilizations all popped up around the same time in vastly different parts of the planet.

  The weirdest one for me is the station stones of Stonehenge, dated to about 5000 years ago which is also when Sumer and Egypt and Harappa appeared, placed at perfect alignments with the solstices and lunar standstills and built on the exact line of latitude where these alignments form a perfect rectangle, the same line of latitude where the oldest &quot;medicine wheels&quot; are found in the Americas, which literally look like tiny Stonehenges and are also dated to about 5000 years ago.

  Every time the camera goes to Lex when Graham is talking, just makes me smile. He is just all of us, with that interesting and curious look :D

  Why did the extinction of the ice age mega fauna led to the gradual development of agriculture?<br>Puzzling indeed

  I don&apos;t understand why Graham Hancock is constantly attacked. Everything he says seems reasonable/logical. He always seems very objective and points out the counter arguments, and why he thinks they are wrong etc. From what I&apos;ve seen, he&apos;s asking perfectly valid questions when he sees holes in the historical records.

  i&apos;d love to see a debate between Hancock and an archeologist talk about why there&apos;s a notion that there hasn&apos;t been any major civilizations before the cataclysm

  Advising to read Immanuel Velikovsky’s Worlds in Collision to understand more about past events

  Kali yuga was 3101 BC-1899 AD That&apos;s why we have record of it.

  Questions about why agriculture developed only after the Younger Dryas is probably explained by necessity. &nbsp;After all, the YD was an extinction event so much of their food source disappeared. &nbsp;So, they really had no choice.<br><br>Also, may I point out that maybe these big megalithic walls, forts, and platforms were built for protection from the Megafauna. &nbsp;I mean a heard of 20 ton elephants could sure trample any village that wasn&apos;t protected by a big wall or built on a platform.<br><br>And any wall built with wood or small bricks would provide little protection. &nbsp;But those big ass multi-ton blocks we see at so many old sites could.
