Drew Phipps Wrote:Graham Hancock wrote a book "Footprints of the Gods" about a global catastrophe, so you might guess that he would interpret everything in view of proving his own theory. The book is interesting in its own right; however, he has a writer's agenda, so listen with a grain of salt.
It was called Fingerprints of the Gods but I think you are right about his interpretive approach. If you listen to the podcast, though, you will see why he does that. He presents quite a compelling case. I'm not convinced that he's correct but it will be interesting to see how things develop as new evidence is uncovered.
He does also address Harlen Bretz' work directly at around the 1hr:50 mark. To the layman (i.e., me) the Hancock/Carlson hypothesis seems to make more sense than the currently accepted version of events.
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
