Annual reminder that Hancock and his pseudoarchaeology would have us believe that brown ancient civilisations are not capable of having created amazing things and that it was a mysterious white race that created them: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

See also Thor Heyerdahl. “Pyramids must have been built by aliens”. What nonsense.
Also the founding principle of Mormonism. Indigenous people can't possibly have built things like Great Serpent Mound, reckoned Joseph Smith, therefore white people must have done it, therefore the lost tribe of Israel came to America and I am their inheritor. This stuff is bigots all the way down.
Annual reminder that this is pseudoarchaeology, and therefore akin to delusion.
