As far as I can tell, Hancock is a sociologist and journalist trying to shape a space in thought by outdoing everyone else. I don't doubt that there was an advanced (for the time) civilization that predates the Fertile Crescent, but I don't buy Industrial Age 0.9.
Wow--thanks for the interesting links and info.
Do you have an opinion on Graham Hancock's "America Before"? I haven't read it yet.
