ANCIENT SYMBOLS Spark Claims of Global Prehistoric Society

Kevin O'Sullivan discusses the theory of an ancient civilization that supposedly existed before the pyramids and was wiped out by a catastrophic event. Historian Ashley Hern explains that this idea, known as hyper diffusionism, suggests that similarities among ancient cultures indicate a single source of inspiration.

Hern argues that there's no independent evidence for this dating, which relies on speculative alignments with star positions. He notes that during the Ice Age, humans were in small hunter-gatherer groups, lacking the infrastructure for a civilization.
