Is the Ancient Architects channel supposed to be a fictional work, as Star Wars is? As far as I can tell from your comments and the videos I've checked, the channel presents itself as a factual source. If I am wrong, that would be a relief. The channel doesn't appear to be reporting fringe theories only for the sake of debunking them, à la Snopes. Rather, at least some of the videos seem to support the alternative hypotheses they present. For example, this video was linked in your reply to another thread in this discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAqPZ3NqVFk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAqPZ3NqVFk > Conspiracy: Silencing the Discovery of Egypt’s Lost Labyrinth | Ancient Architects The most common theory among mainstream archaeologists is that the labyrinth at Hawara described in some ancient accounts refers to a mortuary temple that has since been largely dismantled, as evidenced by the remaining foundations. The video mentions the mainstream theory, but dismisses it in favor of the idea that evidence confirming the labyrinth still exists underground is being covered up. Regarding Atlantis, I'm not sure how Ancient Architects's coverage of the topic supports the idea that it's a reliable source. The channel reports claims of Atlantis's existence very credulously, and even when it disagrees with certain specifics it instead presents its own theories regarding Atlantis or other lost ancient civilizations the YouTuber believes existed. These proposals tend to go against current scientific understanding, to say the least. You could treat the channel as entertainment, I suppose, but I would not approve of it as an educational resource.
