Some of us archaeology students went to go see that movie. EVERYTHING in that movie was wrong. We couldn't stop laughing! The other people in the theater must have hated us... I mean, come on!
-The earliest pyramids were not built until 2,500 BCE
-In the movie, there are no stone tools whatsoever
-They use LOCKS and KEYS
-Mammoths were EXTINCT before 10,000 BCE
-The sail boats in the movie, the way their sails were arranged, would've just spun like a top
-The people in the movie use advanced iron tools, but the Iron Age begins around 1,200 BCE
-Every tribe in that movie was multi-ethnic, which would've been very wrong
-The giant birds they were attacked by were probably Phorusrhacidae, which lived in South America around Cenozoic Era
-And why does the old medicine woman sleep with her jewelery on?

That is cute, but Graham Hancock is a writer. His theories have been shot down more times than I can count, and although he is entertaining, every archaeologist I know can list the ways he alters "evidence" and invents facts.
