The Megalithic Temples of Malta - Ep 143

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2024/06/05

Malta is an island in the Mediterranean that is super far away from everything else in the Mediterranean. On this island, there are some temples that were made over five thousand years ago by the farmers that lived on the island. They used some pretty big stones to make them. There is also a cave there where they buried some bodies.I would label this as “super easy to understand.” Not everyone feels like I do. Prepare yourself for fake dates, alignments that don’t align to anything, and an entire

The Bimini Road - Ep 142

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2024/05/23

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.Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/142Contact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube)

Kinkella Visits the USS Hornet - Ep 139

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2024/04/10

Is the USS Hornet the most haunted ship in America? No! How do I know this? Because my dad said so, and he should know because he worked on it for years! Also because while there’s no such thing as ghosts, tourist dollars are definitely real.Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/139Contact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook:

Atlantis: Let's Do This! - Ep 137

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2024/02/28

Finally, Atlantis in all its glory!!! In this episode, I track the history of the oxymoron otherwise known as “Atlantean thought.” What is the history of Atlantis? Why do we still talk about it today? Where is it? Did Plato just make it up? (Hint - is Star Wars real, or did George Lucas just make it up? You decide…).TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/137Contact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNet

Continuing our “Old School Classics” theme here at the Pseudoarchaeology Podcast, today we have the tale of Augustus Le Plongeon, nineteenth century explorer extraordinaire. His ideas on the Maya were terrible, but his photos of Maya sites were great!

Let’s go back to 1984 and experience what it was like to watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom through the eyes of a 12 year old. How was the movie received by 1984’s tween culture? How has it aged? Where does it fall in the five movie hierarchy?

When I was a kid, I loved the story of Thor Heyerdahl and the Kon-Tiki. I was enraptured in wonder as I read about the exciting and dangerous expedition across the Pacific in an “ancient craft.” As per usual, it’s time for me to destroy my childhood dreams.

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2023/11/22

Today let’s explore the life of Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg (1814-1874), a dedicated scholar who found and published some amazing work on the ancient Maya. The only problem is that his ideas on Maya culture and translations of Maya hieroglyphs were almost 100% wrong! Further proof that people with terrible names have little choice in life except to become pseudoarchaeologists…TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/130Contact Kinkella

Gunung Padang Is Not A Pyramid: Does Anyone...

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2023/11/08

In today’s episode, I have rushed over to the microphone to give you a stern rebuttal to the current pseudoarchaeological silliness surrounding Gunung Padang, a non-pyramid (natural geological formation) located in Indonesia. Graham Hancock’s current pseudoscience abomination (the idea that this is indeed a super-old pyramid) has fooled more people than usual, helped tremendously by lazy reporting. The bummer with this one (which often happens) is that when it’s debunked, the debunking will not make

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!Links Wikipedia page on Ignatius Donnelly: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignatius_L._DonnellyContact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology

Fun with Logical Fallacies - Ep 124

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2023/08/30

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
