oday, we dive into a topic that captivated the world's imagination: the so-called apocalypse of 2012, which was supposedly foretold by the Mayan calendar. This phenomenon sparked a frenzy of movies, books, and even TV specials, with many experts cashing in on the hysteria.

Joining us in this episode is Professor Andrew Kinkella, not only the host of the Pseudo Archaeology podcast but also a seasoned expert on Maya history and archaeology. Together, we will explore how the year 2012 became a fixture in pop culture and examine the pseudo archaeological interpretations that have shaped our understanding of the Mayan civilization. We'll delve into the historical and cultural contexts of the Mesoamerican calendars and debunk some of the myths surrounding them.

Special thanks to our Patreon supporters [https://www.patreon.com/diggingupancientaliens] and members portal subscribers [https://diggingupancientaliens.com/support.html], whose contributions enrich our exploration of these mysterious topics.

In "Digging Up Ancient Aliens," we explore the fascinating intersections of alternative history, archaeology, and the claims surrounding ancient alien theories in popular media. I'm your host, Fredrik, guiding you through the world of pseudo-archaeology.

The 2012 Apocalypse - Andrew Kinkella - Aliens 63

Not all that glitters is gold… Sometimes it's silver! In today's episode, Matilda is joined by Egyptologist and Jewelery Historian Sigrid van Roode, to talk all about that most magical of materials: silver. Together, they discuss all the questions about silver that you didn't even know you had: Why did people used to regularly cut up silver bracelets? What did political issues in central Asia have to do with the Viking raids in Northwest Europe? How can you trust what you see in a photograph? And why should we pay attention to the hairstyle depicted on silver coins? Tune in to find out!

Analyzing Rock Art - Rock Art 124

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.
