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. In fact, it would be a good exercise (if someone gets time and has access to journals online) to look up an actual case of some scholar criticizing this guy and quote that instead of stating vaguely that "he had been criticized".
