No. There is a refutation of the interpretation of the evidence presented by the on-site researcher, Danny Hilman. You read the Nature website article wrong (if you read it at all) and honestly, I think from your off the bat "bollocks" comment, you probably have a very rigid view of the past in general.
I tend to align with orthodox archaeologists. That's not to say I dismiss out of hand any new claims, just that such fantastic claims - a 27K old pyramid is a very fantastic claim - needs academic consensus before I will believe it.
How is Graham Hancock a charlatan? What nonsense is he peddling? And putting him in the same category as Von Daniken is a little strange...the two are nothing alike. Hancock has opinions on things, conclusions he draws based on compiled facts, but he doesn't present his conclusions as facts themselves. He's also not an archeologist and has never claimed to be one. He's essentially a suberb data synthesizer in addition to being a very competent writer so he's been able to popularize reasonable historical narratives about the history of civilization. Most of his conclusions are hardly ridiculous. Of note, Hancock always (politely) called bs on the Bosnian Pyramid after he went and saw it himself.
This is a wonderful post for perspective regarding the modern deification of reductionist science.
Half those motherfuckers won't recognize more practical and reasonable theories simply bc it threatens their own, and their livelihoods. That's where you get another piece of perspective, what's more important, truth, or yourself? I digress. There are dudes on YouTube just simply researching different things on their own and cross referencing with other areas who are making more sense than a lot of the "official" guys. Keeping an open mind is important, and I find many who consider themselves of the sort, aren't.
