Ok folks, bit of serious stuff. Anyone watching the new Graham Hancock Netflix series may not realise he is part of wider, nasty, class of pseudo-archaeology underpinned by notions of white supremacy & disregard for established, & proven, archaeological method.
This entertaining lecture by brilliant Steph Halmhofer picks this apart. Well worth watching.
Long & short is archs aren't hiding anything- anyone who says they are, don't know archaeologists!! 🤣
@tess_machling Anyone who believes archaeologists en masse could be capable of marshaling the singularity of vision and competence required to create and maintain a global hoax has clearly never tried to settle up in a restaurant after an archaeologists' night-out.
@MrPDaniel or keeping their mouths shut about a grand theory that would make their name!! 🤣🤣
@tess_machling @MrPDaniel see also global warming conspiracy theories.
Imagine being a climate scientist who finds evidence that you don't need to worry about fossil fuels.
Not only would you make your career but you'd have oil companies queuing to throw money at you.
