Today we discuss the phenomena of the Coso artifact, what it really is, how it formed, and why we're not all that impressed with it. Ken gives us all a new place to visit on vacation, and we discuss a fun science project you can do at home to grow your own Coso artifact.

Today we are examining the Copper Culture Myth that has recently experienced a revival due to popular media. We discuss the origins of the myth, look at particular aspects of it, like over 1.5 billion pounds of copper missing, and decide what evidence we would need to actually consider that Michigan copper fueled the Bronze age in Europe.

Today we talk with Andrew White about the current Giant craze. He gives us the relative origins of the "Giants Among Us" myth and talks about what "Double Rows of Teeth" actually means. We touch on the Nephilim craze and how Giants might just relate back to biblical mythology and may represent a current push of biblical creationism.Links

Today we're starting to look at creationism. We evaluate the evidence for a global flood in both the geological and archaeological record. We compare the biblical myth with the Babylonian version, and we go looking for Noah's Ark itself.

In this episode we look at the Mound Builder Myth in some detail. We discuss the history of the myth, the alternative explanations for the mounds, how Cyrus Thomas proved the mounds were built by Native Americans, and why the idea that the mounds were built by Europeans still persists today. Also, we highly encourage you to take your local mounds to lunch, and, go visit them today!
