We're back for part two of our discussion with our zooarchaeological expert guest Alex Fitzpatrick, to talk all about dragons. There's a tricky situation on our hands this month, but luckily we can chat with Alex about all the different methods possible for investigating it. Tune in to hear all about how to date a burial, whether dragons are classified as 'sentient', and why you should never get on the wrong side of a Norse god…

Hiring, in the room where it happens - CRMArch 288

In this episode, I will examine different Maya conspiracies found in Ancient Alien mythology with the help of Dimitris and Marie, the brains behind the Ancient Maya History [https://www.instagram.com/ancientmayahistory/] Instagram account. Is there any truth to Palenque being depicted flying a spaceship? Are blood rituals a misunderstanding of how the alien communicates with humans? Is the Olmec evidence of alien travelers in Mesoamerica? As you might suspect, the answer is no, but tune in to hear the real history behind these claims.

Special thanks to our Patreon supporters [https://www.patreon.com/diggingupancientaliens] and members portal subscribers [https://diggingupancientaliens.com/support.html], whose contributions enrich our exploration of these mysterious topics.

In "Digging Up Ancient Aliens," we explore the fascinating intersections of alternative history, archaeology, and the claims surrounding ancient alien theories in popular media. I'm your host, Fredrik, guiding you through the world of pseudo-archaeology.

The Maya Conspiracy - with Ancient Maya History - Aliens 62

This week we have 3 interesting news articles! First, we look at a mysterious Roman artifact called a dodecahedron that literally has baffled archaeologists and historians. Then, we look an unusual burial in Vienna with 2 individuals in an embrace. Re-analysis with new techniques has corrected assumptions made in the past about who they were! And finally, we discuss new evidence that paleolithic humans ate a primarlily vegan diet.

Recent discussions with colleagues and the February 2024 issue of Advances in Archaeological Practice had Paul thinking about what we do with our digital data. This is an evergreen topic, and one that we've touched on before, but is always good to revisit.
