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.

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.Pat Palmer (talk) 09:06, 28 February 2023 (CST)
