Graham Hancock argues that a sophisticated lost civilization existed 20,000 years ago, predating mainstream archaeological timelines. He cites ancient myths, maps, and astronomical evidence to suggest this civilization was wiped out by a global cataclysm, possibly a comet impact around 12,800 years ago.
