Everything to know about Ancient Apocalypse’s criticism

The show’s writer Graham Hancock responded to the letter of SAA by releasing a full-fledged counterargument to their letter. In his response, Hancock alleged that SAA through its letter demeaned him and his work in the Ancient Apocalypse.

“I have been outspoken about the many failings of archaeology as an institution, but at no point in Ancient Apocalypse is any individual archaeologist disparaged. With its 30th November 2022 open letter, however, the SAA seeks to disparage me as an individual, to defame my reputation for honest reporting and to do harm to me personally,”  Hancock wrote, as retrieved via his website. 

With Ancient Apocalypse surrounded by constant controversy, the show’s writer is yet to make comments about the upcoming season 2 of the show. It is to be seen though what the second season of Ancient Apocalypse will entail, as fans eagerly wait for more updates regarding Season 2.
