Anyone fascinated by @Graham__Hancock ‘s excellent Netflix series #AncientApocolypse would be wise to look at the works of Norwegian ethnographer and explorer Thor Hyerdahl.

Thor encountered the same resistance to scientific paradigm expansion. His Kon Tiki voyage silenced midwit doubters for a time. He went on to explore ancient ocean routes (and prove them possible) and explore megalithic structures in Peru, the Maldives, Easter Island and more
His book Early Man and the Ocean suggests a seagoing civilization spreading technology across the globe, in the same vein as #AncientApocolypse
I haven’t watched #AncientApocolypse, but have read enough to be disappointed with @netflix giving a platform for the delusions of one man rather than the teams who have studied #Cholula for decades, led recently by Mexican women. Here’s some of their excellent work. 1/6
Cholula’s great pyramid is very securely dated to the first millennium CE, generally contemporaneous with those of #Teotihuacan. Here, Uruñela and Plunket (2020) present it’s early construction phases in relation to Teo’s Moon Pyramid. 2/6
The first monumental structure, known as Edificio de Los Chapulines, had a very different layout from Teotihuacan’s however, presenting an acropolis like form, expertly recreated here by @amparischen 3/6
