What do you think about authors like Graham Hancock? I've recently started reading about esotericism, alternative history and the like, and while most of it is quite a stretch, it is still an enjoyable exercise in imagination.

He is irredeemable shit. Book related has a great little article on the Horizon BBC "scandal", which would be a good point to start your research on.
Listen to his podcast on the joe rogan experience. His rebuttals are always prefaced with "yeah but they could have", and most of his arguments on timelines are placed around the inability to carbon date stone monuments, as well as a general belief in the infiltration of conspirators in mainstream archaeology. If you want really interesting fringe archaeology and alternative history, look into the recent findings in ecuadorean DNA regarding Polynesian dna, or Tom Dillehay's work at Monte Verde which kicked the clovis theory right in the nuts.
