  • New Chronology, Same Old Pseudoscience.

    March is 'New Chronology' month! 

    We'll not only be looking at Anatoly Fomenko's idea about how history is far too long, but we'll also dip into some other alternative histories too.


    Today we try to wrap our heads around Fomenko's hardly groundbreaking idea that history is wrong, and try to understand the general points of it. Spoilers, it's basically all made up.

    Show Notes:

    (Why do I use Wikipedia in my show notes? Usually because it's not a bad place to start researching things, especially pseudo-theories. Also, people who want to pretend like the WIki is the devil are either 1) being elitist dicks or 2) don't understand how access works. I could also be using it to directly annoy someone. Either way, I'm not going to stop using it as a launch point. If that bothers you, you may want to re-read the above sentences.)

  • James, Lovecraft, and Archaeology

    Welcome back to the Archaeology Fantasies Podcast!


    February is Lovecraft Month, because I like Cthulhu and Lovecraft's impact on pseudoarchaeology.


    Today I'm looking at how and why Lovecraft used archeology in his stories to create suspense and horror. I'm also contrasting him to one of his contemporaries, M.R. James, and how James used archeology in his own ghost stories. How were these two writers similar and how were they different, and How major was their impact on modern horror and ghost stories?

  • Archaeological Fantasies Update, and Where Have I Been.

    I felt like I needed to post some kind of update/explanation before I start launching new things. I do discuss some mental health things and just life, just FYI.   

    But if you want to know what my future goals are for the podcast and the channel give us a listen.

  • Coming up on Archaeological Fantasies:
    In this interesting time...my semester is wrapping up, and I decided to change my thesis proposal with three weeks left in the semester...because reasons.That said. I do have a stock of podcasts that need tweaking before being posted. I'm going get those up soon, and thank everyone for being lenient with us. I think you'll really enjoy the topics coming up, we got haunted Winchester house, archaeology and ghost hunting pt 2, race in academia, and the Historical accuracy of the Assassin's Creed games pt2!We've also got a bunch of collaboration things like the "Hunt for Secret Mysteries" vids and Podcast with Bill Auchter with ArchaeoRPG and ArchaeoThoughts. We're taking on Skinwalker Ranch right now, and wow, just...its bad yall.We're also still working on our own archeology surveys in Elder Scrolls and No Man's Sky and looking at Aliens, Giants, and the Paranormal on our sub-blogs. So hopefully there's a lot to keep you busy this month while my output might be a little spotty. I have a couple of quick vids planned, but other than that, I need to lay low and convince my Thesis Professor to let me lead a real-life phase 1 survey in Elders Scrolls Online...I have a crew and everything. In the meantime, enjoy this throwback from the archives, where Dr. Jeb Card and I talk with Dr. April Beisaw about Ghost Hunting as Historical Archaeology! Also, be sure to check out Jeb and Blake Smith's newest podcast "In Research Of" for a fun and critical look back on Leonard Nimoy's classic pseudoarchaeology show. Show Notes:April Beisaw on Twitter: @AprilMBeisawApril Beisaw website Lost City, Found Pyramid edited by Jeb Card and David Anderson
