Graham Hancock engagement report

Measured over 4 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 8, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 4 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 1.5K interactions against 602K followers, an engagement rate of 0.253%. Posts are seen about 42K times each, and 3.64% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.95% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.17 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 25% are part of a thread and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 9.3x its own typical post. Only 4 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 0% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 100% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 0% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 100% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 540 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

I have heart surgery coming up next week and now understand why I’ve been so physically exhausted and out-of-sorts these past few months. The docs tell me my condition is called “atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation” and that it is “mainly due to long standing atrial fibrillation… The tricuspid valve is leaking severely, causing a back pressure on all the internal organs and a high jugular venous pressure.” The procedure aims to get this old body back on the road again quickly and efficiently. It is VERY LOW RISK but of course I’m grateful for any good wishes sent my way. I’m in the midst of writing a new book, the best work I’ve ever done, and I’m not going to let this stop me! I said yes to the linked podcast now, rather than after my procedure, for reasons that I explain during the interview: https://t.co/Bec8caT7a1

Stuff just keeps on getting older, very much including me. But I’m pleased to report that my heart surgery last month appears to have been a success. I don’t take anything for granted but I’m back at my desk completing the writing of my next book which I’m due to deliver to my publishers at end October. Meanwhile, life goes on! I enjoy meeting and interacting with those who find my work useful. Before the serious problems with my heart had been diagnosed I had made commitments to host three tours in 2027 – to Egypt in March 2027, to Turkey in May 2027 and to Peru and Bolivia in August 2027. Because I must be mindful of my health challenges, I will now be joining each tour for five days during which I will offer two exclusive multi-media presentations and make myself fully-available for Q&A sessions, for individual face-to-face conversations with guests, for signing books and for photographs. Here are the revised details of the three tours: https://t.co/ChH66JpN14

Gratitude to the universe and to all friends everywhere for so many kind wishes. My cardiac surgery went well -- better than expected. I'll update properly next week. Meanwhile, I'm home, surrounded by love, am enjoying a great reawakening of energy and intend to dive into writing Chapter 21 of my new book tomorrow. Happy Summer Solstice!

As all who were with me know, I fell seriously ill in Egypt in February with a horrible lung infection that still lingers. I'm glad I was able to fulfill all my commitments, despite the health challenges, but this trip really brought me face-to-face with my own mortality! Thank you for being there with me, and for your love and understanding. I'll never forget.

As all who visit this page have surely heard, the late great Erich von Daniken passed away on 10th January at the handsome old age of 90. I didn't know him well enough to call him a friend, more of an acquaintance who I met, chatted with and sometimes debated at conferences. See this post from 2015 for example, on the occasion of Erich's 80th birthday: https://t.co/C4yiZjcMDA. Nearly 11 years have passed since then, and Erich has gone, but the questions he raised still remain. Reviled by the mainstream, his greatest gift to his readers -- very much including myself -- was to encourage an open-minded, free-spirited approach to the mysteries of the past. You were a great spirit, Erich, and you never bowed down or buckled to the pressure and hate that archaeologists and their friends in the media sent your way. Wishing you joy on your next great adventure.

My conversation with Steven Bartlett for his Diary of a CEO Podcast was published 11th June. Encouraged as I write today to see that it's had a good number of views: https://t.co/Bec8caT7a1 Although there is much more in retrospect that I wish I'd said, this dialogue with Steven is one of the most meaningful I've had in years of such appearances -- but I'm not responsible for the title! Although we do talk about Antarctica, its place in the overall conversation is small and there's much else that matters to me much more. Meanwhile, deep gratitude to all who have sent me good wishes for my surgery later this week which looms very close. I'm living and breathing my new book right now and I just last night finished writing Chapter 20, but this is all such an upheaval that it would be pointless to dive into Chapter 21 until after the procedure. When I'm writing I usually have quite a relentless work ethic but I think I'll take the rest of today off, chill with Santha and see if we can find a good movie to watch.

Attn @FlintDibble : (1) you have been boasting and preening for nearly two years that you "won" your debate on the JRE with me and that your self-proclaimed brilliant performance "tanked" my audience. Usually, it is the loser of a debate, not the winner, who asks for a second round. I must therefore assume that your petulant demands to go "face to face" with me again mean you’ve known all along that you failed yourself and embarrassed your profession very badly when you sat down with me for JRE 2136 and that everything you've said on the matter since then is simply the smelly gas of a deeply insecure man. (2) In your pinned post of March 10th 2026 you accuse me of cowardice and lack of integrity and claim that I "rejected two different offers to go face to face” with you "on major, international media outlets". From whence came the “two different offers” for me to go face to face with you in a second debate? When and where were these “offers” made? And in what way, where, did I reject these offers? (3) For the avoidance of future doubt let me be clear. I am content for JRE 2136, the debate that you claim you won, to stand as the permanent record of what passed between us and to continue to allow those who are still interested to make up their own minds on the matter. I see no point in sitting down with you again to accommodate your neediness.

Season's greetings to all who choose to visit this page. I'm deeply grateful for your ongoing interest in and support for my (increasingly controversial and polarizing) work. We dive into some of the storm and stress in my latest (23 Dec) encounter with Piers Morgan. https://t.co/yGXjU8IlEM

I have chosen to publish Scott Creighton's documentary on my Youtube channel, because I find the case he makes here persuasive with important new evidence that has not been addressed in the public debates thus far. Others are welcome to disagree and no comments will be deleted. Comments that consist of lazy and insulting outright rejections of Scott's case without giving any solid reasoning for the rejection are predictable: this is how archaeology's "debunking lobby" works. However, what we're really looking for from those who wish to "debunk" this video are comments, unpolluted by insults, slurs and smears, that offer fair, reasoned and constructive criticism of Scott's thesis. If you think he is wrong the least you can do is hear him out in full -- 42 minutes with no ads to slow down your viewing -- and then address the points he makes in this video with as much care and diligence as he has made them. https://t.co/SrZyTEg2AH

Stuff just keeps on getting older... Since Irving Finkel, the Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian script, languages and cultures at the British Museum, concludes there was writing at Gobekli Tepe thousands of years before the rise of ancient Sumer I hope all mainstream archaeologists would agree that this is a serious claim and well worth investigating further: https://t.co/MGIAFyJKwM
