Is it worth watching? What do you mean by academically sane? They have measured the forces that guide us using laws of thermodynamic or something?

What do you mean by academically sane?
Probably that it isn't biased. So much of the stuff that's been made about the topic is heavily slanted towards the Western cynical mindset. You can feel it oozing out between the "facts."

Yes very worth watching. Academically sane as in first of all it’s likely a bbc documentary made with the help of the open university like a lot of bbc documentaries, so it can basically count as a university lecture in a lot of ways. Un biased, not over dramatised, un Americanised, they’re not making it like ancient aliens or something appealing to low IQ’s. They present a very professional standard of research. It’s very worth watching yes, it’s brilliant actually I thought. Very thorough.
And also yes, what techno said. It isn’t too cynical or scoffing, surprisingly.

The documentary got taken down; what was the name of it so I could try and find it elsewhere?

The uploader deleted their account and thus all their vids as well (dick move). The link I added in a comment above may point to the OP's documentary.

Academically sane documentary about the known history of sorcery, wizardry and shamanism, was the OP 's title for this post.
