Very few people watch my Archaeodeath YouTube channel BECAUSE few people are true WINNERS! Most people on YouTube are LOSERS. Sad.
Archaeodeath is the GREATEST channel EVER.
Views are way down because I'm the BEST.

In the context of this deplorable situation with the #EAA, I cannot support participation in the forthcoming Athens conference.

I urge all archaeologists around the world, from students to professors, amateurs and professionals, to #boycottEAA

What's the latest with the #EAA debacle? I've been invited to participate in the Athens conference but I don't feel up-to-date regarding developments. I'm not currently a member.

Thank you for always thinking of me!

On Bad Batch atm, then Rebels. Thanks!

Writing up my Excavation Report for the recent community excavation in Sackville Gardens has given me the chance to handle our finds again, so I thought I'd share a few of my favourite contemporary (1970-present) finds from the site...

#StandingStoneSunday Mk II 🥰🥳

After 54 years, and a failed attempt last week, I finally made it to the famous Bryn Cader Faner cairn circle in Eryri/Snowdonia this morning 😮

It didn't disappoint 🤩. What an incredible Bronze Age locale!

For the fools who say "dont break the law"; "obey"; "FAFO" - the day will come soon enough that its your turn to be brutalised because thats how fascist governments work. They move on to a new scapegoat, call them terrorists. Make things up as smears.
And eventually, youll be the enemy.
You can easily see the video online where they pummel him to the ground, pistol whip him, then murder him with multiple pistol shots.

Before his death, he was peacefully standing there, recording them.

That’s a capital offence according to ICE, and it led to his execution
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.
