Debunking the Debunking Industry

A presentation by Graham Hancock on the sneering arrogance and restrictive practices of a publicity-hungry group of archaeologists. These self-styled "debunkers" do no original work of their own and contribute nothing to human knowledge but instead spend their time attacking and seeking to destroy the work of others who don't share their limited view of the past. The presentation is followed by a dialogue between Graham and Youtuber Dan Richards @DeDunking whose Dedunking the Past channel has turned the tables on archaeology’s increasingly toxic “debunking industry”. The presentation was filmed on Saturday evening 19 April 2025 as part of an event themed THE FIGHT FOR THE PAST held in Sedona, Arizona, over Easter weekend 2025 and organized by World ViewZ Media. Graham Hancock gave a series of talks, sometimes joined by others for on-stage conversations, at the Sedona Performing Arts Center. We'll be releasing the videos of several more of those talks here, not necessarily in the order they were given, over the coming weeks.
