Graham Hancock never claimed to be an archeologist, so he could not be pseudo-archeologist either. He's a journalist and as such he is reporting and telling stories based on what he studies and infers. As such, he has the right to say whatever he wants, and it is up to each of us to decide whether or not he is worthy of our trust. I don't buy everything he says, but the least I can say is that he is on to something. And BTW, the amount of bullshit in the established academic science is no smaller. As an architect, I've listened to many "scientific" lectures on how the pyramids must have been built, and none of them stand the test of basic reasoning. To his credit, Graham is at least opening some very important questions about our origins as a society.
