Overview

Journalist and writer Graham Hancock travels the globe hunting for evidence of mysterious, lost civilizations dating back to the last Ice Age. He attempts to prove that a climatic event 12,000 years ago wiped out an entire civilization far more sophisticated than the simple hunter-gatherers some archaeologists believe lived at that time.

Why fans love it

Graham Hancock drives this series by revisiting the sites of global megalithic structures to challenge the established archaeological narrative. The premise hinges on the idea that the transition between the last Ice Age and the modern era involved a cataclysmic flood that erased a highly sophisticated, forgotten society from human memory.

The documentary shifts focus away from traditional academic consensus by questioning how and when complex civilizations evolved. By examining physical evidence from locations around the world, the series invites viewers to consider if human history is significantly older and more volatile than experts suggest. It remains a polarizing look at the gaps in current historical understanding and the legacy of ancient architecture.
