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!

Flint Dibble v Graham Hancock - review with prof. Howard Williams - Aliens 61

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.

Art! - TAS 261

Religion permeates most cultures around the world and throughout time. How did early people represent and practice their religions with respect to rock art? What did they represent with the images and what stories were they trying to tell? Dr. Garfinkel discusses some of his research and study on this topic for today's episode.

The Origins of Religion in Rock Art - Rock Art 122

Archaeology is always seen as a field pursuit and for the most part, it is. However the interpretations of archaeology should be accessible to all. Our guests today, Dr. Alessandro Sebastiani and Dr. Laura Morabito presented their thoughts on accessibility in archaeology at the World Archaeology Summit in Alula, Saudi Arabia in September 2023. They discuss things like 3D reconstruction and VR as tools to bring people to archaeological sites and research without physically bringing them there.
