Some really good introduction and overview here by David Connolly into and onto the pitfalls and misconceptions of #pseudoarchaeology - and the insight #RealArchaeology can offer in contrast: 🏺 www.bajr.org/raiders-of-m... via @bajr-badger.bsky.social

Raiders of my Lost Mind: A dee...

Wer bei diesem Wetter noch eine Abensbeschäftigung sucht:

In zwei Wochen schließe ich das 33. Sommerinsitut des Nordfriesichen Instituts in #Bredstedt mit einem Vortrag zu Jürgen #Spanuth und seinen #Atlantis|thesen ab, in dem ich auch auf meine jüngsten Recherchen eingehe.

Freue besonders auf diesen Vortrag, weil ihn dort viele ja noch kannten oder selbst erlebt haben.

If you got a hammer everything looks like a nail.

ln the light of current discussions I really think one of the major distractions with #pseudoarchaeology is an obsession with the idea that there *must* be a secret, a hidden code which needs to and can be decoded - while it's really just about past humans living their lives.
