Another comment worth sharing (one of many really) from my latest video. This one really emphasizes the impacts of both the doomsday aspect of fake archaeology AND the importance of revealing it to the public

Thanks to all who have bravely spoken up and shared their journey

The mental gymnastics here are revealing. "Science & pseudoscience are the same"

Pseudoscience "don't trust the experts" is a form of black-pilled nihilism

It's depressing. Our knowledge is constantly growing based on solid evidence, but grifters have brainwashed so many people otherwise

Graham Hancock's absolutely wild Sphinx conspiracy theory from 1996. He claims a multi-millionaire from a secret religious sect had taken over archaeological work at Giza in Egypt.

A couple super awesome comments on my latest video to show the effort of pushing back against fake archaeology has a real impact on real people

Why does fake shit like this go more viral than reality?

I love fiction, but the actual evidence for our real history is pretty cool too. Don't you think?

The Dark Mystery of the Agora Bone Well from Athens. Filled with the tiny, fragile skeletons of hundreds of newborn infants, and 150 dogs. Is this evidence of a gruesome ritual or or a plague, famine, or war? Or something else?

At the midway point, I asked my students to anonymously give feedback to see what's working & improve on what's not

I'm very grateful to see that my students enjoy listening to my lectures as much as I enjoy giving them

I dig archaeology and so do they

Is this AI? How do you know?

Yup. A cult

As someone fighting stage 4 cancer, I can assure you that this is stupid advice

The new drugs available have turned what used to be terminal illnesses into chronic illnesses with real hope for health and life

This advice can kill people

Every person we turn towards real archaeology, grounded in evidence and a respect for humanity, is a win for the human race

The part that made me laugh out loud in dismay, as I realized how deeply unserious the government is towards its slowly tarnishing jewel of a higher ed system

Lovely comment on my latest YouTube video (a tour through the Villa San Marco outside of Pompeii)

The truth will always win out in the end

Had a great time presenting on Fighting Fake Archaeology at New Scientist Live @newscientist.com!

Recorded a podcast with them too, so I'm sure that'll be out at some point

Oh look. You can pay thousands of dollars to listen to people who have never done any archaeology tell lies about archaeology. Such prices show who the real gatekeepers are

Grifting 101 with Graham Hancock and friends

According to some on Reddit, my Joe Rogan saga where he has repeatedly and viciously slandered me without cause, has contributed to a decline in listeners to the Joe Rogan Experience

I'll keep fighting back against this slander, and keep picking off members of the cult of fake archaeology

The amount of propaganda today is disgusting

Right wing political violence targeted many Democrat politicians in recent years. Two assassinated in Minnesota, one attempted in Arizona, assault on Pelosi's husband

I'm opposed to ALL political violence, not one sided propaganda

Joe Rogan's shameful treatment of me has revealed to countless people who he really is

Joe's not open minded nor interested in truth. He's just an entertainer captured by the toxic conspiracist wing of his audience. When we go high, he goes low

Had a great time catching @profaliceroberts.bsky.social presenting on the transition from Rome to Christianity for her Domination book tour

I colorized this ancient water spout, likely from Cyprus and now at the Met Museum

Herakles: Did you just shave?

Lion: Can you tell?

Herakles: wow, like your whole face even

Lion: is that your dick?

Herakles: how do you even shave your whole face?

Lion: Aaaahhhhhh

Lion: Aaaahhhhh

Scholars: Herakles and the lion were just friends. They did like to dance together though

Herakles: You lead this time
