Graham Hancock rubbing his hands together right now ready to pounce.

So, Viking

Is he still going..? I read his stuff pre Internet..

Has a show on Netflix that just came out

mainstream archeologist cant explain...

Ancient Apocalypse - the name of the series. He shared on Joe Rogan's podcast that he will do a second season if the first one is a success.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)

> An ancient cave complex thought to date from Kievan Rus' has been discovered in central Kyiv at Voznesensky Uzvoz.

> Dmytro Perov, a conservationist at Kyiv's Center for Urban Development, told Radio Kultura that the caves were discovered next to a demolished house that Kyiv housing authorities had deemed unsafe for habitation.

> Perov wrote on Facebook that the team scoured around 40 meters of caves, including the lower cave complex, which he claims is twice as long as the upper passage and has a series of "Radial branches." The most significant discovery, according to Petrov, was "a set of Kyivan Rus hieroglyphs and Varangian symbols from the Early Rus period," when the region was under the control of Varangian rulers.

That's because it's bat shit crazy.

If it were Ferengian that would be pretty dope.

Have we argued the Galileo gambit at any point this episode? Better do it 5 times in 5 minutes.

That would explain capitalism

Ugh, he’s truly awful.

Hopefully it doesn’t get bombed

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rus%27_people

> The Rus' people (Old East Slavic: Рѹсь; Modern Belarusian, Russian, Rusyn, and Ukrainian: Русь, romanised: Rus'; Old Norse: Garðar; Greek: Ῥῶς, romanised: Rhos) were an ethnic group in early medieval eastern Europe. The scholarly consensus holds that they were originally Norse people, mainly originating from present-day Sweden, settling and ruling along the river-routes between the Baltic and the Black Seas from around the 8th to 11th centuries AD. They formed a state known in modern historiography as Kievan Rus', which was initially a multiethnic society where the ruling Norsemen merged and assimilated with East Slavic, Baltic and Finnic tribes, ending up with Old East Slavic as their common language. The elite of Kievan Rus' was still familiar with Old Norse until their assimilation by the second half of the 11th century,[1] and in rural areas vestiges of Norse culture persisted as late as the 14th and early 15th centuries.[1]

What exactly are “Kyivan hieroglyphs”?

See autotldr's top comment for a summary. Basically, the hieroglyphics used by a culture called the Kievan Rus (Kievan meaning centered around Kiev Kyiv, and Rus being sort of the larger culture's name--one believed to be descended from the Norse and which eventually became today's ethnic Russians).

Dont know why your getting downvoted, both Hancock and Rogan are awful excuses for human beings

[removed]

Because much like every other cult, Hancock fans are effectively impossible to convince that he's a total fraud. So every time anyone (rightly) criticizes him, they get downvoted and usually accused of being part of the secret cabal of archaeologists that are suppressing information for whatever reason.

They'll go the way of flat earthers and moon landing deniers eventually, but Rogan has been boosting the hell out of him.

It's just so frustrating. Just because we're shape-shifting lizards, normal humans, doesn't mean we control the disk world!!

That's really sad you'd say that about someone rather than just that you don't think their ideas are right.

They're really fucking this up for the rest of us, not gonna lie.

Worth bitingo Hancock has the series on Netflix because his son works for Netflix in charge of procurement of this genre of program, not because the ideas have suddenly gained merit.

This shouldn't be on the news, now Russia will destroy them...

together with this modern shoe

seems they were wearing nikes

I think I saw this movie once. Now Zelenskyy will go into the cave, make a deal with the ancient demon trapped within, and emerge as a horrific (though strangely sexy) monster that will save Ukraine from Russia, albeit angsting about his nature all the way.

Old slavonic language "...The first stage was when the Slavs were still pagans, so use dashes and serifs...The second stage was after the adoption of Christianity, when they began to write Roman and Greek inscriptions."

ill leave the link to Ukraine University explanation https://kpi.ua/en/12-05-24

Please speak with facts not just some idle talk and hateful speech for other people's work. At least they are not harming anyone, neither they are spreading personal frustrations.

I feel so sorry for even entering this discussion and being part of this hateful dialogue.

Why? The Rus' were norsemen merged with east slavs, not just Ukrainians.

Purposeful misinformation, aka fraud, is harmful.

They're saying it about people who have been given ample empirical evidence their hypothesis are incorrect as well as ample opportunities to accept that reality.

Instead they choose not to, double down on ignorance, and spread fraudulent information for profit.

That's why they are horrible people.

But it's in Ukraine, if it's in Ukraine it's a target for Russia.

The Vikings were from the Swedish region of "Roslagen", hence the name "Rus", but that may be apocryphal.

Hell yeah brother, been inspiring new generations still. It's been like 6-8 years since I was really into him, but I'm glad I got to experience his writings.

Username does not check out.

Anything that proves Ukraine has had a history separate from Moscow is a threat to the Russian propaganda machine that is trying to make Russians think Ukraine never really existed on its own. So they will probably try and destroy these caves at some point to not have this as a reminder of Ukraines past.

Me too. I think it has Nazi zombies in it.

thats just an ignorant comment

Are we living in a different world? Russia is is targeting everything in Ukraine, including theaters and hospitals, and you believe they won't target an archaeological site? Russians want to do a lot of damage to Ukrainian civilians, as we've seen in the past few months.

The ruzzians literally just bombed a maternity ward, killing a 2 day old baby. And you think that they won't bomb an archeological site just to erase the culture and heritage of Ukraine?

They prey on ignorance for profit.

They create fictitious narratives to promote their brands.

They try to draw parallels between fairytales and mountains of carefully accumulated scientific research, and then have the audacity to call it "free thinking".

Not only are they garbage humans, they are criminally dangerous and should be called out at every opportunity

No, I don't believe they care about an archeological site.

They absolutley won't bomb an archeological site (caves).

People love being grifted. Tale as old as Lemuria

Oh sure. The people that steal museum artefacts, bomb theaters, bomb maternity wards, and have bombed many cultural and heritage sites surely won't bomb archeological sites, right? You ignorant rube

All those are buildings withing missle strike range. We're talking about caves. Not the same thing. But you do you boo.

I don't know if you know this, but caves tend to have what are called "openings" or "entrances". These are holes in the ground that allow access to these caves, and these can be bombed to close them.

Cool, let me know when Russia bombs them
