| | The Official Graham Hancock Website: The BBC Horizon Scandal |
 | | I recently became aware of the assault on your archaeological/astronomical findings concerning the pyramids of Giza (among other world sites) by certain members of this sometimes pernicious class of society, as well as by the producers of the Horizon television program, and I know their arguments to be indefensible, one-sided, and inordinately biased against you. | | | Horizon has always been a supporter of hard science, and its movements into soft sciences like Archaeology and Anthropology have tended to be unsuccessful because these subjects are inevitably a lot more intricate and complex than the hard nosed Natural Sciences tend to be. | | | I greatly looked forward to the Horizon programs as I have found it to be a reasonably fair program in general,although a programme on heavy metal rock fans in the late 80`s was a bit biased in portraying many as devil worshipers. |

| | The remains of the trackways were relocated, being exposed at the bottom of the beach in one distinctly stratified archaeological horizon. | | | Neolithic trackways off the beach at Wootton Quarr have been the subject of investigation by the Isle of Wight County Archaeological Unit with funding from English Heritage since the early 1990's. | | | In April 1998 the Trust co-ordinated a project with a team of marine archaeological students from the University of Southampton to re-locate the trackways and record them underwater. |
