• If a lost Ice Age civilisation existed, its traces lie in the Sahara, the Amazon and the drowned continental shelves — the habitable places archaeology has barely looked at. GHGraham Hancock16 Oct 2024
• Graham Hancock's research is good; his conclusion that one lost civilization seeded all the others is not. EBEd Barnhart30 Sept 2024
