: I agree. Derogatory labeling is a sign of bias. If the word "pseudo archaeology" needs to appear, let it be in a quote of someone else so we know ''who'' said that.[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] ([[User talk:Pat Palmer|talk]]) 09:06, 28 February 2023 (CST) | |||

intro and creation
the Wikipedia version of this article was heavily biased and relied on mainstream archaeology and scientific reductionist theory to label the author as a pseudo archaeology. I would rather that we just tell the reader what Graham Hancock does and let the reader decide if he is a pseudo archaeologist or a genuine, serious investigator that is unbiased. It should not be the job of an encyclopedia to push a certain viewpoint down the reader's throat, as Wikipedia was definitely doing in 2022 with this article. I have rewritten it. Jack S.
