Have a reference to the ultimate decision? Wikipedia says

Quote:

The BSC's rulings dismissed all but one of these complaints. The complaint which was upheld related to "The programme unfairly omitted one of their arguments in rebuttal of a speaker who criticised the theory of a significant correlation between the Giza pyramids and the belt stars of the constellation Orion (the "correlation theory")", which the Commission found to be unfair. Overall, the BSC conclusion read "the programme makers acted in good faith in their examination of the theories of Mr Hancock and Mr Bauval". Horizon offered to broadcast a revised transmission of the programme which takes into account the one point which was found in the writers' favour. This went to air on December 14, 2000.

omg, I thought you had been slated enough on the JREF boards, but you obviously thought you would gain more attention here.

I have read or perused all of his books including his latest Supernatural and was a member of http://www.grahamhancock.com/phorum/list.php?f=1 for a few years . If you want to defend his theories , there are many sites with discussion boards where pyramid theories are discussed and where he is constantly denigrated for his theories .

In his one book he conveniently misdates the next predicted magnetic pole shifting to 2020 when if someone bothers to look at the reference he uses, it says 2220. He was saying a great catastrophe would occur based on this reference in 2020. There's no way he could have made a typo or just mistakenly thought it said 2020. It was too important to his final point. He's just a flat out sensationalist liar.
