An intriguing show that challenges everything we know about history is currently riding high in Netflix 's top ten - with viewers either loving or loathing it.
This new six-part series delves deep into archaeological phenomenons - such as the pyramids - and questions if there's more to the history of humans than textbooks have let on.
Netflix's Ancient Apocalypse certainly pulls no punches, with one guest claiming the evidence will 'demand a rewrite of history as we know it'.
The show's synopsis reads: "What if everything we know about prehistory is wrong? Journalist Graham Hancock visits archaeological sites around the world investigating if a civilisation far more advanced than we ever believed possible existed thousands of years ago."

In the trailer, Hancock can be seen 'picking a fight with academia' as he suggests there is a lost, advanced civilisation of the ice age that we've all totally forgotten about. One that's responsible for teaching lofty humanity concepts such as maths, architecture and agriculture.
He claims it was wiped out in a giant flood thanks to several comet strikes about 12,000 years ago.
And so we join the persuasive Hancock as he travels to Malta, Mexico, Indonesia, and to the US, where he dusts down remnants of old structures while insisting they prove his theory.
He also has a fair few pops at established archeological institutions along the way for failing to listen to him.
With its conspiratorial overtones and compelling narrative, some have gone so far as to label Ancient Apocalypse as 'dangerous'.
The Guardian wrote: "(A show like this) whispers to the conspiracy theorist in all of us. And Hancock is such a compelling host that he’s bound to create a few more in his wake. Believing that ultra-intelligent creatures helped to build the pyramids is one thing, but where does it end? Believing that election fraud is real? Believing 9/11 was an inside job?"
It's fair to say that opinion on Ancient Apocalypse is rather divided, with many taking to Twitter to proclaim their love - or hate - for it:
Public historian Greg Jenner posted: "So Netflix have broadcasted this absolute nonsense which fails at the most basic level to present convincing evidence".
Matt Willemsen said: "A show with a truly preposterous theory is one of the streaming giant’s biggest hits – and it seems to exist solely for conspiracy theorists. Why has this been allowed?"
Metall3x : "As someone with an archaeology degree, I can safely say that Ancient Apocalypse is absolute trash with no actual basis in the archaeological record. Graham Hancock presents his new age spirituality as fact and it's completely devoid of any evidence".
Derek McDaniel : "Been watching Netflix's 'Ancient Apocalypse' ... total pseudo-scientific garbage, no value. Do not recommend. but can't look away from the trainwreck."
Josina Anderson posted: "‘Ancient Apocalypse’ is a fascinating watch on Netflix".
Cryptofinally : "This Ancient Apocalypse docuseries on Netflix is pretty great and I buy it entirely".
An Anomaly: "For all the folks who enjoy thinking and aren't scared of alternative opinions and thoughts that are outside of the mainstream box. I highly recommend watching Ancient Apocalypse by Graham Hancock on Netflix. I hope most of you know who Graham is. If you don't, you probably should".
Bunnyzbear : " Ancient apocalypse on Netflix is magnificent and deeply informative".
