Is Graham Hancock Right? Is Civilization Far Older Than We Know?

Join Locals for the opportunity to Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying in the next Q&A: http://darkhorse.locals.com/support In this clip from their November 30th Locals exclusive Q&A, Bret and Heather answer a member's question about the possibility of ancient civilizations being older than the available evidence suggests.

Q: Have either of you considered the possibility of civilizations being much older than what the available evidence suggests? If the hypotheses put forth by people like Graham Hancock are true & we have had one or more advanced civilizations wiped out either by solar flares or comets or meteors or all of them around 11,000 years ago, where does it leave us? At least in the last 20 years, we've forgotten the universe outside our phones and it may spell our doom, like it has probably done before.
