This new limited series on Netflix is causing a lot of controversy in the archaeological community. Graham Hancock, the host, loves to say, āHuman beings are a species with amnesia.ā To prove this he travels around the world to pre-historic sites and makes the argument that an advanced human civilization existed during the last Ice Age before being wiped out by asteroid strikes around 12,800 years ago. Iām a natural born skeptic, but Iāve read several of Hancockās books and they raise a lot of questions that archaeologists havenāt, or canāt, sufficiently answer.Ā Ā Sometimes I wonder why Iām so interested in the mysteries of prehistory. The conclusion Iāve come to is that they calm me by making my own problemsāfinishing my Perfectly Imperfect, writing the next book, deathāfeel less significant.
Just anything. I think being in the act of making things is a really good place for our minds. We're no different from birds or spiders, we've evolved to make things. I believe it's a very deep rooted part of our consciousness that's usually trivialized as "hobbies" or hijacked and converted into labor. I feel down multiple times a day and finding a little something to make and get lost in relieves at least some of the weight of the bad feelings
Bootleg not because it's DIY but because it's a compilation from different releases. My friend burned the discs and printed the labels with his thermal printer, and I'm folding 100 sleeves with construction paper and putting it all together. I also designed the labels. Been getting back into busking and these will be my merch
