Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2023/08/02

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.

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!

Shipwrecks and Treasure Hunting - Ep 118

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.

The Younger Dryas Comet Impact Hypothesis - Ep 117

2023/05/24

What happened 13,000 years ago? Was it cold, and then started warming, and then got cold again for a bit until it finally warmed up? Looks like it. Was there a comet that struck the Earth? Could be. Did it change history by unleashing a great flood that covered all evidence of an unknown complex civilization? Of course not!

I’ve always found the Face on Mars to be one of the more fun and likable examples of pseudoarchaeology. What’s not fun and likable is sitting in your room in 1988 waiting for your Commodore 64 to upload an image of the Face on Mars in the video game “Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders.”TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/116Links Retronauts episode on Zak McKraken The Face on Mars Zac McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders - WikipediaContact

You’ve probably heard the name “Gobekli Tepe” in the archaeological world, but what is it?

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2023/03/15

In this episode, I present a battle royale between two terrible ideas. In the first corner, the Silurian Hypothesis, which states that socially complex human beings have been on Earth for millions of years. In the second corner, the Solutrean Hypothesis, which states that early Native American technology was influenced by Europeans who came to the New World by crossing the Atlantic thousands of years ago.

Pseudo-Archaeology ·

2023/02/15

You would think that dating the Sphinx would be pretty easy, especially since the Sphinx’s face is that of an Old Kingdom pharaoh, and it’s right in front of an Old Kingdom pyramid. Simple man that I am, I’m going with Old Kingdom. But wait right there! What about the water erosion? Could the Sphinx actually be thousands of years older than previously thought? Does water erosion on the Sphinx expose a secret that Big Archaeology doesn’t want you to know? I’m guessing you know the answer to this

The Great Tonewood Debate - Ep 109

2023/02/01

Tonight we tackle the highly annoying idea of electric guitar “tonewood.” Does the wood that your electric guitar is made out of affect the sound? Many guitar manufacturers and guitar pros say yes, but science says no. You’ll never guess which side I’m on….While this topic is more pseudoscience than pseudoarchaeology, I figure it counts because I have an electric guitar in my office on campus…TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/109Links Tonewood

Where they typed the same foolishness so many times that you got tired of replying and decided to make a podcast about it instead? Maybe it’s just me.On tonight’s episode, we explore the great non-debate of “Clovis First,” an idea that archaeologists let go of decades ago, but pseudoarchaeologists hold onto as tightly as the pearls that they clutch every time I point out that they are
