Hello friends’ news from Graham Hancock.
Graham Hancock has recently released a new season of his documentary series Ancient Apocalypse  “America”2024 on Netflix, where he presents a fascinating theory about ancient civilizations in Central America and beyond. He argues that humans lived in America as far back as 20,000 years ago, challenging the common assumption that the continent was only populated after the last Ice Age. This bold thesis is supported by the discovery of human footprints in the White Sands(Desert) of New Mexico, along with the simultaneous presence of mammoth tracks.

The season comprises a total of six episodes, the content of which is so diverse and rich that it cannot be fully recounted here. Particularly noteworthy is Hancock’s discussion about the use of ayahuasca, a psychoactive substance. From a Buddhist perspective, the consumption of such drugs is viewed as laden with “kamma” and should therefore be avoided. Interestingly, DMT, the psychoactive compound in ayahuasca, is also produced in the human pineal gland.

In my opinion, a critical point in this presentation is that experiences under the influence of ayahuasca cannot be interrupted, unlike in meditation. Once ingested, the trip unfolds unchangeably, which can be particularly problematic if feelings of anxiety or discomfort arise. These aspects should always be kept in mind when considering Hancock’s documentary and his personal experiences.

Furthermore, Hancock seeks solutions for the ice melt after the last Ice Age, often in the context of meteorite impacts. However, I believe this phenomenon can also be explained by natural processes such as energy equilibrium. The second law of thermodynamics states that in closed systems, entropy tends to increase. The Earth, with its ice cap and hot magma, can be considered such a closed system.

In my view, heat flows in this system from hot to cold areas. Volcanic eruptions, such as those in Yellowstone National Park and other regions, could play a significant role in the ice melt. These geothermal activities might have melted the ice from within, possibly leading to a sudden rise in water levels within an ice ring. If this ice ring breaks, it could result in a flood wave that inundates many parts of the Earth. From this perspective, the Great Flood could also be interpreted as a consequence of such an energetic imbalance. It doesn’t always have to be a (big) bang.

I believe that the water element has the ability to transcend and the potential for change, much like how amniotic fluid is essential for the development of life. It possesses transformative properties and could therefore play a central role in the dynamics of living organisms. The interactions between heat, entropy, and water are crucial for understanding these complex processes and their possible effects on the Earth and its inhabitants.

Moreover, many developments and transformations of living beings are often associated with the flood or with oceans, whether in the Bible, Hinduism, the Vedas, or the Suttas. These themes manifest, for example, in the separations of the Lokas by seas.

Overall, Hancock’s documentary not only offers an exciting narrative about the past but also encourages reflection on the complex interconnections in our world—between ancient civilizations, nature, and the forces that shape our climate.
