  • Maya Apocalypse 2012 - Ep 107

    Did you survive the Maya apocalypse of 2012? Are you still putting your life back together after the supervolcano covered your home in lava just before the Tsunami washed it away? Is your equilibrium still unequal after the close call with Planet X? Does the Earth’s gravity still feel “not quite right” in the years since?

    The renegade few of us who survived need to stick together. Let’s analyze the fallout of that fateful day on the 10 year anniversary of December 21, 2012, a day that will be long remembered…for nothing at all!

  • Ancient Maya Astronauts - Ep 106

    Was Pacal the Great actually “Pacal the Great…Astronaut?” Of course not! On today’s podcast, I destroy whatever good humor you may have acquired during the holidays by forcing you down into the muck of what is possibly The Single Dumbest Story in all of Pseudoarchaeology! I’m very sorry.

  • Kinkella Reviews Graham Hancock's Netflix Show "Ancient Apocalypse" - Ep 105

    Have you ever made a YouTube video that suddenly got a lot of views? I did one on Graham Hancock's new Netflix show "Ancient Apocalypse" and made a whole bunch of people mad. Why were they so mad? Here, I review Ancient Apocalypse, talk about Graham Hancock, and thank him for giving me enough material for my next 100 shows. Enjoy!

    Imagine the cast of Stranger Things visiting a funny yet mysterious cabin in the woods, and you have a pretty good idea of what happened with me and my friends one day in 1986. Welcome to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz, California.

          Do the Colossal Stone Heads of the Olmec prove that Africans came to the New World thousands of years ago? Of course not! They prove that the Olmec were part of a thriving, complex society in Central America a thousand years before Jesus was born.

              • PROMO - Summer Blockbusters: Apocalypto - The Dirt 199

                The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we’re introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here’s an episode from The Dirt Podcast about the accuracies and inaccuracies about the 2006 film, “Apocalypto”.

                Amber guides Anna through the jungle of the 2006 film Apocalypto...but hopefully a little less racistly than director Mel Gibson did! We’ll talk about human sacrifice, what was (and was not) going on in Maya culture in the 15th century CE, and the movie’s ending that couldn’t be more on the nose if it went “boop!”

                              This is the map that proves that ancient civilizations with technologies far beyond our own were able to visit Antarctica back when it was warm there. Wait, are you saying you don’t believe me? Well good for you! This map doesn’t do any of that stuff. It’s still pretty cool on its own though.

                                          Have you ever wondered if the Shroud of Turin is a fake or not? Of course you haven’t, because you know it’s a fake! In this episode, let’s explore the fun fakery of religious icons, starting with the burial shroud of Jesus that is definitely not the burial shroud of Jesus.
