How to Debate the Lost Civilization Hypothesis?


Archaeology with Flint Dibble​: Debate, Can We Disprove the Lost Civilization Hypothesis? with Dr David Miano ‪(@WorldofAntiquity‬). The first part largely focuses on the 'philosophy of science' aspects, before, about 23 minutes in shifting to an interesting discussion on Dibble's strategy of the debate (without mentioning that Hancock had come with none at all).

From the blurb:  

"The Lost Civilization Hypothesis is perhaps the most popular alternative history idea out there today. Is it possible to disprove it with our current state of evidence? Can we ever prove a negative? How open minded should scientists be about popular ideas that lack evidence?"
