"Graham Hancock explores the Americas in search of a prehistoric society whose ancient knowledge has been passed down and spread across the continents."
As many of you may know I had the pleasure of recording sound and shooting drone for a second outing of Netflix’s Ancient Apocalypse. Over the last 18 months or so we filmed with knowledgeable and interesting people in magnificent locations throughout South and Central America and even across the vast Pacific Ocean to Easter Island (Rapa Nui). From the jungles of the Amazon rainforest via Mayan temple complexes, to pre-Inca stoneworks high in the Andes mountains.
Ancient Apocalypse: The Americas will stream from Weds 16th October 2024. Such a compelling and eye-opening programme, made with the highest production standards, it couldn’t be made without such incredible effort, vision and talent.
