Today we talk with Dr. Mark Allen Peterson about the magical Jinn. Dr. Peterson tells us more about the ancient concept of Jinn, how that affect modern Arabic uses of Jinn, and how the views on Jinn are affected by Movies and Western tampering.

Magical Jinn and where to Find them with Mark Allen Peterson – Episode 88

Welcome to the Archaeological Fantasies Podcast. Join us as we explore the wild world of pseudoarchaeology. We look critically at topics including Transoceanic travelers, Ancient Aliens, Vikings in America, all the way to archaeological evidence of Big Foot. We interview a wide variety of archaeological and scientific experts about everything from DNA to ancient Rock Art. We dig into pseudoarchaeological topics and really look at the origins of some of the weirdest questions out there.

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.)

New Chronology, Same Old Pseudoscience.

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?

Happy Dirtmas! This is the Audio version of a vlogmas video that's up on the YouTube Channel. I've posted it here for your listening pleasure. Let me know what you think.
We're watching a video today that supposedly shows us 12 objects that are so mysterious that scientists can't explain them. Let's see how many of them are actually mysterious, and how many are already known.

12 Mysterious Finds That Scientists Have Probably Already Explained.

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.
