Your quote: "At first, the European spawned endeavor was largely dedicated to finding physical evidence for events mentioned in Judeo-Christian scripture. The thick scholarly books from this period teem forcefully with fanciful contortions to make the connection. Filled with loquacious interpretations of scanty information and a bottomless cornucopia of speculation over very limited and often obscure evidence, early archaeologists wanted to make history as presented in the Bible objectively real."
This is exactly what Hancock is doing. Trying to forcefully make connections where none exist. He doesn't present evidence. Just wishful thinking. That's the problem
Otherwise, I love reading ancient aliens speculation, and Atlantis stuff. However, we need to remember for what it is. Fiction. And it will continue to be fiction, unless some real evidence shows up. Not wishful thinking.
