"It's stripping Indigenous people of their heritage".

Archaeologist Flint Dibble is actively debunking claims of an advanced ancient civilization that supposedly existed 20,000 years ago, as promoted by writer Graham Hancock. Dibble argues that such ideas strip Indigenous people of their heritage by suggesting that ancient monuments worldwide were not built by local communities. He emphasizes the importance of pre-bunking misinformation and engaging in outreach to combat anti-intellectualism and pseudoscience, as seen in his debate with Hancock on The Joe Rogan Experience. Dibble's efforts aim to promote real archaeology and share fascinating stories from the ancient past to counter harmful myths and misinformation. [Extracted from the article]
