   So, 50 million years ago in California? No way. Now, all of this evidence was collected and reported to the scientific world by this man, Dr. J. D. Whitney. He was a professional geologist. He was the state geologist of California at the time. He was the government geologist in the state of California. And he wrote a massive book about these discoveries. It was published by Harvard University in 1883. But we don't hear about these discoveries anymore. And why is that? It's because of this process of knowledge filtration. Now, this is the man who was responsible for the knowledge filtering in t…

   - **Fringe association**: Hancock cites it as proof of pre-agricultural complexity - **Canonical bridge**: - Schmidt 1995-2014 excavation reports (Deutsches Archäologisches Institut) - Carbon dated 9,500 BCE — predates Neolithic Revolution by 6000 years - Now mainstream archaeology - **Status**: **No dispute. Pure canon.** Belongs in `08-deep-history`. The fringe just got there first.

   Now, if you look in the current textbooks of archaeology, you're not going to find any such evidence. You're only going to find uh the discoveries that show that the first humans like us appeared less than 200,000 years ago. But I decided to in my research to look beyond the textbooks. I decided, let me look into the original scientific reports by archaeologists, geologists, paleontologists, other scientists who dig into the earth looking for traces of life. When I did that, I was very surprised to find many cases of scientists finding human bones, human artifacts, and human footprints many mi…

   What many people don't know is that he was also involved in some discoveries in California at a place called Calico. And at this Calico site, he and some other researchers, some American scientists discovered many hundreds of stone tools in layers of rock about 200,000 years old. Uh again, quite extraordinary uh both from the standpoint of North American archaeology uh where you shouldn't have any signs of a human presence in North America any earlier than say about 30,000 years ago. This is 200,000 years. And also in terms of the general story of human evolution which says no human beings bef…

   J. D. Whitney, a Harvard University educated geologist, and he began collecting the artifacts and bones and conducting his own research and verifying the original discoveries. Is this is he from the Whitney family? The big banking family. Which family? The the the Whitneys that in New York? Uh, I'm not exactly sure of that. I don't know his whole history, but he documented these things. It's possible. Hosiah D. Whitney, he could be. Sounds like he could be. You having gone to Harvard. What year was he? Um he he was active during the 1870s 1880s. He published his uh Dr. Whitney published a mass…

   The sequence that had long anchored our understanding of early civilization agriculture, first then then settlement, then temples, does not hold here. Claus Schmidt said it plainly, "First came the temple, then the city. That inversion is by itself enough to occupy a long night of thought. It suggests that the impulse to create sacred space to build something that reaches past practical need may be older and more fundamental than we assumed. But Graham Hancock looks at the same stones and sees something the excavation reports do not address to his satisfaction. He sees a level of coordination,…

   In the last century there was a a gold rush in California. So, miners were coming from all over the United States, from all over the world to California to get the gold. And they were coming to places such as uh Table Mountain. And they were digging tunnels into the sides of these mountains. And they were digging through solid rock to get to the gold-bearing deposits. Now, sometimes inside these tunnels, hundreds of feet even a thousand or more feet inside these tunnels in the solid rock they were finding human skeletons just like ours, not ape men. They were finding spear points. They were fi…

    He published reports of human bones and human artifacts being found in layers of rock belonging to the geological period called the Pliocene which goes back you know, according to modern calculation between 2 million and 5 million years ago. So he published those. In Europe, you had people like Dr. Carlos Ribeiro, the chief government geologist of Portugal, finding human artifacts older than than those found by Whitney going back perhaps 20 million years. We had discoveries of human bones at a place called Castenedolo in northern Italy where the Italian geologist Giuseppe Ragazzoni found human…
