There seems to have been a great flood between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago which may have destroyed an ancient civilization. |

If you fly into Mexico City airport you can take a bus to Puebla bus station for $15 right from the airport. Then it is a local bus (under an hour) to get to the architectural site in Cholulu. The Great pyramid of Cholula was the largest one in the world by volume. It was completed 600 years before the Conquistadors arrived from Spain, and it was covered with dirt so it looked like a natual hill. They have been tunneling since 1931 and they have found several generations of pyramids that go back a long time. The pyramid consists of six superimposed structures, one for each ethnic group that dominated it. However, only three have been studied in any depth. The series is exploring the possibility that the origins of the Great Pyramid could go back to this hypothesized prehistoric civilization. |

Mea Culpa. Ancient Apocalypse is the title of a documentary series used for at least three times. The latest dropped on Netflix on 11 Nov. 2022 and is an 8 part series. The is the one I was referring to the 2nd episode (of 8). The series is built around the books of Graham Hancock. There was just a BBC series with the same name last year, and another one 20 years ago. Bishop James Ussher, an Anglican cleric and biblical scholar in 1658 wrote a chronology titled "The Annals of the World" that said that God created the world on October 23, 4004 BCE. While the idea of a 6000 year old universe came under dispute in the 19th century , it is often considered the approximate date of the beginning of proto-history (i.e. the time when some parts of civilization had writing and others did not). It is estimated that the population of the world was around 7 million at this time, but it may have been 5 million 10,000 years ago as it was thought that population did not grow or shrink radically during this time period after the ice ages. Behavioral modernity, involving the development of language, figurative art and early forms of religion (etc.) is taken to have arisen before 40,000 years ago. So there is no anatomical reason that civilization could not have existed long before the last 6000 years ago. The population of the world cannot really be estimated 40,000 years ago, but it may have been less than a million. Stonehenge may have been used for ceremonial rituals as far back as 8000 BC, the first of 6 layers of stones date back to 3000BC. In the Netflix series they are largely considering the possibility of civilization that may have existed as far back a 12,000 BC. There are very few physical relics from that far ago, and mostly they are pottery and weapons, but Graham Hancock believes that myths and legends are rooted in ancient civilizations.
