Pseudo-Archaeology

I have watched all episodes of Ancient Apocalypse 2: The Americas.  It’s the same as the first one, just with different places.  Overall it makes me sad, but not for the reasons you may think….

Now you have to listen to find out my reasons!  I’m sorry for playing with your emotions.

Percy Fawcett was an explorer who is famous for attempting to find a lost city that doesn’t exist, and ultimately cutting short his own existence in the process. Still, he’s a super interesting dude full of adventure, daring, and traits both good and bad, all of which leads to an unfortunate end of the road in 1925.

On yet another special edition of this podcast, I’ve been asked to review “The Atlantis Puzzle,” so I did.  Is it the same old pseudoarchaeological nonsense we usually get complete with a retread of the tired and utterly debunked Richat Structure, or have they actually found Atlantis?  You be the judge.

Were you hoping that the Dendera Light from the last episode was the last you would hear of “ancient electricity?”  Well too bad!  Brace yourself for another round of electric foolishness, as we energize ourselves with the Baghdad Battery!

It’s time for yet another old school classic!  Today’s topic is the Dendera “light,” which is a carved image on the side of an Egyptian temple that looks like a light bulb.  Did ancient Egyptians have electric light bulbs?  The full, correct answer to this question is transcribed in capital letters here:  “OF COURSE THEY DIDN’T. PLEASE STOP BULLSHITTING ME.”

It’s Amelia Earhart time!  What happened on that fateful day of July 2, 1937?  We’ve always been pretty sure that Earhart crashed somewhere near Howland Island, but new evidence may make us VERY sure that Earhart crashed somewhere near Howland Island!  Unlike most of our stories on this channel, this one actually has some real data that is being analyzed using good scientific protocol.  Imagine that!

Continuing on with the whole “I listen to my listeners so I am a good person” situation, this week I’m covering Helena Blavatsky.  Beyond the fact that several of you have asked for this one, I myself have been super curious about Helena Blavatsky, as her name crops up whenever you take a stroll in the Pseudoarchaeology universe.  Of course, if your name is “Helena Blavatsky” then membership in the occult is required.

I want you to know that I listen to you.  As proof, tonight I’m covering the writer H.P. Lovecraft and his relationship to the Pseudoarchaeology world because a listener suggested it!  See, I care (Also I’m a huge sci-fi nerd).

Malta is an island in the Mediterranean that is super far away from everything else in the Mediterranean.  On this island, there are some temples that were made over five thousand years ago by the farmers that lived on the island.  They used some pretty big stones to make them. There is also a cave there where they buried some bodies.

I would label this as “super easy to understand.”  Not everyone feels like I do.  Prepare yourself for fake dates, alignments that don’t align to anything, and an entire classroom of children that not only disappeared, but never existed in the first place…

Continuing our fruitful discussion on famous geological formations that were not made by humans and don’t mean anything, I thought we’d take a cruise down the Bimini Road, AKA “The Stones of Atlantis.”  Located in the Bahamas, this pile of stones is the big brother to last week’s pile of stones, the Yonaguni Submarine Ruins.   Which one is stupider?  YOU DECIDE.
