Joe Rogan Experience #2136 - Graham Hancock & Flint Dibble
“go read these books Eric Klein's book comes out tomorrow guy Middleton's book is goes all over the world and looks at collapse”— Flint Dibble
The guest here is Graham Hancock & Flint Dibble: Graham Hancock is an alternative-history author (Fingerprints of the Gods, Netflix's Ancient Apocalypse) who argues for a lost advanced Ice Age civilization; Flint Dibble is a professional archaeologist at Cardiff University specializing in ancient food, animal bones, and isotope analysis who argues the mainstream evidence refutes that idea. Archaeologist Flint Dibble debates Graham Hancock on whether a lost Ice Age civilization existed, presenting big-data evidence against it.
