EPISODE 120 | OOPArts Doompa-Dee-Doo

Sometimes people find something… interesting, maybe even mysterious. What is that? they ask. And then they or someone else makes a logical leap and says oh, wow, here is the missing link I’ve been looking for that proves all my theories that until now have been ridiculed or ignored. And not even scientists are immune to this very common and very human process.

We’re looking at out of place artifacts, or OOPArts – things found in an unusual context. This might, upon examination, indicate that certain civilizational develops happened much earlier than we had thought or, if you’re of a certain bent, be used to further narratives of ancient advanced civilizations, Atlantis, ancient aliens, time travel, or the literal truth of the Bible.
