This week we have 3 news stories about art in the ancient world. First up, 10 years of excavating a synagogue in Israel has revealed stunning floor mosaics. Then, we head to everyone's favorited ancient city, Pompeii, where spectacular frescos were uncovered in a residence. And finally, rock carvings in Peru may depict people singing or dancing while hallucinating.

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.

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.
