AceShowbiz - Hollywood star Keanu Reeves will be part of the upcoming second season of "Ancient Apocalypse", which will stream on Netflix from October 16. Reeves will share his insights on storytelling as a way to preserve culture as British writer and journalist Graham Hancock investigates the history of the Americas.

The first season of "Ancient Apocalypse" explored the possibility of an advanced ancient civilization across the world. The controversy surrounding the series arises from accusations that it disparages archaeologists and devalues the profession based on false claims and disinformation. Hancock's views have also been suggested to have racist implications, as they imply that Indigenous people did not create their own aspects of their cultures.

In Season 2, Hancock will delve into his hypothesis that an advanced civilization was wiped out by the cataclysms ending the last Ice Age. Along with Reeves, the series will explore new discoveries made in the American hemisphere, including in New Mexico, Peru and Brazil.

Despite facing backlash from indigenous groups and the Society for American Archaeology, the creators of "Ancient Apocalypse" defend their exploration of ancient civilizations and hope to spark debate. The inclusion of Keanu Reeves in the upcoming season is expected to attract significant viewer interest.
