Hancock and Carlson describe mainstream archaeologists as 'gatekeepers' who suppress evidence for an advanced Ice Age civilization. The counter-evidence here (Holliday et al.'s refutation, the SAA letter, the Gunung Padang retraction) is published, citable, and argued in the open, unlike withheld government records, so this is treated as framing rather than a documented suppression case.
