Pseudo-Archaeology

Is the USS Hornet the most haunted ship in America?  No!  How do I know this?  Because my dad said so, and he should know because he worked on it for years!  Also because while there's no such thing as ghosts, tourist dollars are definitely real.

Finally, Atlantis in all its glory!!!  In this episode, I track the history of the oxymoron otherwise known as "Atlantean thought."  What is the history of Atlantis? Why do we still talk about it today?  Where is it?  Did Plato just make it up?  (Hint - is Star Wars real, or did George Lucas just make it up? You decide…).

Continuing our "Old School Classics" theme here at the Pseudoarchaeology Podcast, today we have the tale of Augustus Le Plongeon, nineteenth century explorer extraordinaire.  His ideas on the Maya were terrible, but his photos of Maya sites were great!  A classic case of great data meets bad interpretation - enjoy!

Let's go back to 1984 and experience what it was like to watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom through the eyes of a 12 year old.  How was the movie received by 1984's tween culture?  How has it aged?  Where does it fall in the five movie hierarchy?  Listen and learn my friends.

When I was a kid, I loved the story of Thor Heyerdahl and the Kon-Tiki.  I was enraptured in wonder as I read about the exciting and dangerous expedition across the Pacific in an "ancient craft."  As per usual, it's time for me to destroy my childhood dreams.  Join me as we skewer my inner child and put the Kon-Tiki to the test!

Today let's explore the life of Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg (1814-1874), a dedicated scholar who found and published some amazing work on the ancient Maya.  The only problem is that his ideas on Maya culture and translations of Maya hieroglyphs were almost 100% wrong!  Further proof that people with terrible names have little choice in life except to become pseudoarchaeologists… Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/130 Contact * Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) [https://m.youtube.com/c/KinkellaTeachesArchaeology] * Blog: Kinkella Teaches Archaeology [http://kinkellasarchaeology.wordpress.com/] ArchPodNet * APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com [https://www.archpodnet.com/] * APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet * APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet * APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet * Tee Public Store [https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724] Affiliates * Motion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion * Motley Fool Save $110 off the full list price of Stock Advisor for your first year, go to  https://zen.ai/pseudofool and start your investing journey today! *$110 discount off of $199 per year list price.

In today's episode, I have rushed over to the microphone to give you a stern rebuttal to the current pseudoarchaeological silliness surrounding Gunung Padang, a non-pyramid (natural geological formation) located in Indonesia.  Graham Hancock's current pseudoscience abomination (the idea that this is indeed a super-old pyramid) has fooled more people than usual, helped tremendously by lazy reporting.  The bummer with this one (which often happens) is that when it's debunked, the debunking will not make the news, and I will have a generation of people asking me "But what about that pyramid in Indonesia?" - all thanks to the Graham Hancock Misinformation Machine.

Pseudoarchaeology arguments are almost always based on logical fallacies, meaning that the argument they use is not meant to counter a criticism, but instead used as a tool to take the focus away from the fact that there argument is baseless and terrible!  I've experienced this on multiple occasions - let's have some fun with the wackiest examples!  Count how many of these you have been a victim of in your life, and count how many you have used on others for your own benefit!  Humans are terrible people… Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/124 * All Segments [https://zencastr.com/s/Pseudo-124-Transcript.txt] Contact * Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) [https://m.youtube.com/c/KinkellaTeachesArchaeology] * Blog: Kinkella Teaches Archaeology [http://kinkellasarchaeology.wordpress.com/] ArchPodNet * APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com [https://www.archpodnet.com/] * APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet * APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet * APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet * Tee Public Store [https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724]: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724 Affiliates * Motion [https://www.archpodnet.com/motion]: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion * Motley Fool Save $110 off the full list price of Stock Advisor for your first year, go to  https://zen.ai/pseudofool and start your investing journey today! *$110 discount off of $199 per year list price.

When I was 11 years old, my sixth grade class and I visited the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, California.  The experience was, well, totally weird!  Join me as I give a therapy session to my 11-year-old self, and assure him that the bad vibes he felt were absolutely correct!  I think his mystic powers were stronger than those of most Rosicrucians.

In this episode, I present a battle royale between two terrible ideas.  In the first corner, the Silurian Hypothesis, which states that socially complex human beings have been on Earth for millions of years.  In the second corner, the Solutrean Hypothesis, which states that early Native American technology was influenced by Europeans who came to the New World by crossing the Atlantic thousands of years ago.  Who will win the Crown of Ultimate Silliness?  You decide.

You would think that dating the Sphinx would be pretty easy, especially since the Sphinx's face is that of an Old Kingdom pharaoh, and it's right in front of an Old Kingdom pyramid.  Simple man that I am, I'm going with Old Kingdom.  But wait right there!  What about the water erosion?   Could the Sphinx actually be thousands of years older than previously thought?  Does water erosion on the Sphinx expose a secret that Big Archaeology doesn't want you to know?  I'm guessing you know the answer to this one… Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/110 Contact * Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) [https://m.youtube.com/c/KinkellaTeachesArchaeology] * Blog: Kinkella Teaches Archaeology [http://kinkellasarchaeology.wordpress.com/] ArchPodNet * APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com [https://www.archpodnet.com/] * APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet * APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet * APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet * Tee Public Store [https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724] Affiliates * Wildnote [http://www.wildnoteapp.com/] * TeePublic [https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=5724&ref_type=aff] * Timeular [https://timeular.com/ref/chriswebster/] * Motion [https://www.archpodnet.com/motion]

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we're introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here's an episode from The Dirt Podcast about the accuracies and inaccuracies about the 2006 film, "Apocalypto". Amber guides Anna through the jungle of the 2006 film Apocalypto...but hopefully a little less racistly than director Mel Gibson did! We'll talk about human sacrifice, what was (and was not) going on in Maya culture in the 15th century CE, and the movie's ending that couldn't be more on the nose if it went "boop!"

Welcome to one of the creepiest nights of my life. Alone on a desert highway one evening in 1998, I decided to pull over into a deserted parking lot.

Today we talk with Lourdes Villalta about cannibalism. We look at the stereotypes of the activity, how these stereotypes were used in the past to marginalized people, and what is the historical truth and cultural reality of cannibalism.LinksLourdes Villaltahttp://sheffield.academia.edu/LVillaltaFrom Villa et al proposed set of criteria to verify whether cannibalism was found within a context (Villa et al, 1986:431):"Similar butchering techniques in human and animal remains. Thus frequency, location, and type of verified cut marks and chop marks on human and animal bones must be similar, but we should allow for anatomical differences between human and animals;Similar patterns of long bone breakage that might facilitate marrow extraction; Identical patterns of postprocessing discard of human and animal remains;Evidence of cooking if present, such evidence should indicate comparable treatment of human and animal remains.White also considered (1992) Turner's suggestion: the under representation of vertebrae (Turner, 1992) without animal gnawing or bite marks. Biologically, vertebrae are spongy, soft, and full of marrow (Preston, 1998). According to Turner, many of the Anazasi often crushed animal vertebrae to form "bone cakes"; a way to extract grease from the spinal column through boiling. Turner (1993) also mentioned the V-shaped cross-sectioned cut marks found on many of the found vertebrae recorded by White (1992) and Turner and Turner (1992). If such taphonomic patterns mentioned above are evident on both human and faunal remains of the same context, cannibalism can be considered.Following Turner's criteria, White (1992) was able to find all five criteria, but he was also able to find another useful observation found through a microscope he coined pot polish-a faint abrasion and bevelling on the broken tips of bones (Preston, 1999), indicating possible evidence of cooking. This became the sixth criteria in "identifying Anasazi cannibalism."ContactEmail us at ArchyFantasies@gmail.com [archyfantasies@gmail.com]Follow us on Twitter at @Archyfantasies [http://www.twitter.com/archyfantasies] and find us on FaceBook.Theme Music by ArcheopSoup Productions [http://archaeosoup.com/]Produced by Chris Webster [http://www.twitter.com/archeowebby/] and Tristan Boyle [http://www.twitter.com/anarchaeologist/]Edited by Christopher Sims [http://www.twitter.com/godigahole]

Today we talk with Chris Begley about the Lost City of the Monkey God, or Ciudad Blanca "The White City". Chris tells us about looking for actual ruins in Honduras, working with National Geographic, and how things like satellite images and LiDar actually work.

Today we examine the evidence for the co-existence of Dinosaurs and humans. We specifically focus on the Ica stones and Acámbaro figures. What are these mysterious figures? What do the carvings on the rocks mean? Could they be evidence of man and dino's living together? Or could they be modern fakes used to bilk the gullible.

Today Ken, Jen, and Sara continue talking about the history of Parapsychology and the development of the concept of diffusionism and why professional archaeologist don't like the term. We also talk about where aliens fit into all of this, and if we should be thankful to our astral overlords.

This episode Jeb and Sara talk about Homo floresiensis affectionately known as Hobbits, and Liang-Bua Cave. What do we know about H. floresiensis, how has this discovery been represented by the media, and why are these tinny hominids being represented as cannibals by Animal Planet?

This episode Ken and I talk with Nigel Hetherington from Past Preservers. We talk about Archaeology in the Media and how Past Preservers works to provide professional authorities for the media, even for shows that might be a bit on the fringe.

Sara and Jeb interview K. Kris Hirst, the archaeology expert at About.com and an internet reporting pioneer!
