| The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis [1], which has a growing body of evidence to support it, if true, would cause a great deal of embarrassment to mainstream archeologists. Is it possible that this is the reason they seek to smear Graham Hancock as a pseudo-archeologist? Notably, Hancock isn’t the only one to inquire about the Orion’s Belt and the fact that the pyramids in Egypt follow an identical orientation. Dr. Carmen Boulter of the University of Calgary. was featured in, the Pyramid Code, a 5-part documentary expositing a similar hypothesis. Of course mainstream Egyptologists dismiss her position as well without providing their own counter explanation or rebutting her arguments on their merits. [1] Is it merely a coincidence that the pyramids follow the orientation of Orion’s Belt so precisely? Are you really so certain that we should dismiss all theories that counter the prevailing orthodoxy? Do you recall that the orthodox view was once that the sun circled the earth and it was heresy to claim otherwise? Given all the things we know that turned out not to be so, would it hurt to keep an open mind and judge theories based on their evidence instead of the fact that old academics who have staked their careers and reputations on not being proven wrong may in fact be wrong sometimes?

Even if they did, so what? The Orion Correlation theory is an exercise in cherry-picking. You could pick any three, aligned celestial bodies and correlate them to some far-off date (there are other theories that state the pyramids align to the Northern Cross) - it doesn't mean anything without evidence to corroborate it. Where are all the artefacts?

No... We should dismiss all fantastical theories presented without evidence. "Mainstream" archeologists have been challenging Hancock's theories for decades, the issue is that every time he is caught trying to pass off fantasy as citizen science (see: The Mars Mystery) he simply pivots to something else.
