Started as a really interesting documentary about North American Indian history but then later muddied by providing substantial screen time to rejected diffusionist conspirator hypotheses and misrepresenting faked artifacts. An almost funny disclaimer at the opening of the documentary, Many artifacts are shown throughout this film. Some artifacts are accepted as authentic by the scientific community today, and some are not. In many cases authentic artifacts may be shown alongside controversial ones. This is done in part to underscore the difficulty in determining authenticity, and also to illustrate a conflict that exists between mainstream anthropologists, and those who have been termed diffusionists.” Its all reminiscent of the spin and disproportionate time given to anti climate change conspirators in the misguided attempt for fair and balanced reporting when theres a 97% consensus supporting climate change in the scientific community. If you like anthropology and archeology you should fine this is an enlightening article.
