The Dead Sea Scrolls - Ep 161

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2025/04/23

So there I was, minding my own business when the Ronald Reagan Library gave me a call and asked me to check out their exhibit on the Dead Sea Scrolls! Did they want me because I am a world-renowned archaeologist, or because I’m an archaeologist who lives only 10 minutes away? Either way, it was great.ContactKinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube)Blog: Kinkella Teaches Archaeology ArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter:

The Moana Surfrider: Haunted? - Ep 160

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2025/04/09

The Moana Surfrider is easily the most haunted hotel in Waikiki. What makes it so haunt-tastic? As we explore this great hotel from 1901, feel free to listen in as I grovel for forgiveness for the crappy sound quality of episode 159.ContactKinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube)Blog: Kinkella Teaches Archaeology ArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram:

Live from the Royal Hawaiian! - Ep 159

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2025/03/26

Some days in life you may find yourself at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki Beach. Those are defined as “good days.” While experiencing one of those good days, I thought “why not try and do a “live” podcast using just my phone and the shaky hotel wifi, centered on the history and ghost stories associated with the hotel?” It sounded like a great idea to me - listen in to see if it actually worked!ContactKinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube)Blog: Kinkella Teaches Archaeology ArchPodNetAPN Website:

2025/03/12

Sedona Arizona is a pretty place. It’s also so full of New Age groups and believers that it puts the mumbo in mumbo jumbo.

Monolith: 2001, 2010, Today and Forever! - Ep 157

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2025/02/26

Everyone’s favorite monolith must be the one from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but did you know that monoliths have been popping up across the world in mysterious and unexplained ways? Taking this one step further, if you are guessing that “mysterious and unexplained” may be secret code words for “fake and easily explainable” then you my friend may be a master of secret codes!PS - We have to do a bit on 2010: The Year We Make Contact because all monoliths must be covered for the sake of

The Chupacabra is Coming to Get You! - Ep 156

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2025/02/12

What the hell is a chupacabra anyway? You’ve heard the term, but then you thought “Wait. Is that like a Mexican Leprechaun or something?” You may also ask “Hey Kinkella - how is this archaeological in any way?” I actually have answers for all of these questions, but you have to listen to the podcast, because that’s how I roll.Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/156Contact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a break for the holiday season. In the meantime, please enjoy this encore episode. It’s a favorite of ours! Happy holidays!Welcome to one of the creepiest nights of my life. Alone on a desert highway one evening in 1998, I decided to pull over into a deserted parking lot. The parking lot belonged to a large storage building which had a huge sign on the front proclaiming that it housed "The Thing." Against my better judgement, I walked in...Links The Thing

2024/12/05

It’s time to reflect on the highs and lows that 2024 has brought to the world of Pseudoarchaeology. As always, there are not any highs, but the competition to be the lowest of the lows is as fierce as ever!Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/153Contact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on

Six Degrees of Menendez Murders: I Knew a Guy Who...

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2024/11/21

As the Menendez murders have gotten renewed attention in recent weeks, I thought I would tell my story about my personal interactions with one of the cast of characters involved in the trial. I found him to be a really nice guy involved in an insane situation.It’s funny how similar true crime is to both archaeology and pseudoarchaeology (and I’ve found that they also have very similar audiences- I bet that many of you are into true crime as well). On one hand there’s real data and facts you can use

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!

What's The Deal With Percy Fawcett and The Lost City...

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2024/10/09

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.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/150Contact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNet

"The Atlantis Puzzle" and the Richat Structure:...

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2024/09/25

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?

Let There Be Darkness: The Dendera Light - Ep 147

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2024/08/28

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.

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.

Helena Blavatsky - Ep 145

2024/07/17

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.Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to
