SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES
CAROUSEL | PEEPSHOW, 1988The paintbox tunes and wild balloons
Their watchful eyes, you start to swoon
Oh, painted vile in lurid hue
The snarling horse that waits for you

Graham Hancock has made this show before. Netflix’s Ancient Apocalypse is in substance and style very much like the Channel 4 / TLC series Quest for the Lost Civilization that Hancock made nearly twenty-five years ago, albeit with different archaeological sites. In the intervening decades, all that has really changed is the use of drones for better aerial footage, a lot more dramatic music to paper over gaps in logic, and a growing bitterness behind Hancock’s carefully rehearsed enunciation. Each episode, for example, starts with an angry rant about Hancock’s greatness and his critics’ meanness. He opens time and again with some variation on “many archaeologists hate me” and poses as a truth-teller who will singlehandedly overturn archaeology.
This man watched Graham Hancock’s latest nonsense so you don’t have to.

The United States believes it is more necessary than ever to control its “backyard” to subdue the restless nations of the continent in any way possible. Bolivia plays an extremely important role due to its geographic location and the enormous wealth of its minerals in the soil.
These are the reasons this nation is in the crosshairs of unconventional warfare to bring about a regime change that favors the interests of the empire. If we follow, step by step, what is happening today in the South American sister nation, we will see that the tactic used in 2019 is being repeated.
