Pseudo-Archaeology

I try to steer clear of pure alien stories that don’t ground themselves in archaeology, but so many of you have asked for this that all I can say is this:

Beware what you wish for.

On today’s show, please give a warm welcome to the Mexican Alien!!!!!

Did you think that Graham Hancock made up all his Pseudoarchaeology stories by himself? I thought so too, until I realized that he simply plagiarized them from a 19th century US congressman named Ignatius Donnelly. Enjoy this week’s story of a truly bizarre, interesting man: author, lawyer, congressman, pseudoarchaeologist, utopian-community-builder, and con artist!

Pseudoarchaeology arguments are almost always based on logical fallacies, meaning that the argument they use is not meant to counter a criticism, but instead used as a tool to take the focus away from the fact that there argument is baseless and terrible! I’ve experienced this on multiple occasions - let’s have some fun with the wackiest examples! Count how many of these you have been a victim of in your life, and count how many you have used on others for your own benefit! Humans are terrible people…

Last month, I had the great fortune of appearing on “WIRED Tech Support: Archaeology.” This YouTube video is about 15 minutes long, and I spend it answering the most common archaeology questions from Twitter. It is hosted on the WIRED channel, and the channel’s massive popularity allowed me to reach over 240K people so far since it’s release in July. Some of the questions dealt with Pseudoarchaeology, and some of my answers did not go over well with the Graham Hancock crowd! Shocking!

This week, I’d like to talk about what it’s like behind the scenes when filming something like this, and also have a bit of fun with some of the most common criticisms I got from the Pseudoarchaeology crowd. Get ready to fight back against people who never listen in the first place!

After spending so much time comparing Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I thought “Hey, maybe I should talk about the Last Crusade.” This movie came out at a turning point in my life - I was 17 years old and getting a bit tired of my hometown. Come with me now back to 1989….

When I was 11 years old, my sixth grade class and I visited the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, California. The experience was, well, totally weird! Join me as I give a therapy session to my 11-year-old self, and assure him that the bad vibes he felt were absolutely correct! I think his mystic powers were stronger than those of most Rosicrucians.

In my career as a sometimes-underwater-archaeologist, I’ve come across the oddities and bizarre belief systems of “treasure hunters” as well as tales of haunted ships and long-lost sunken treasures just waiting to be found. Join me as we take a trip into the underwater world, and have a laugh at Davey Jones’ expense.
