Some time ago I started watching some really good debunking videos from #MiloRossi about #pseudoarcheology especially #AncientApocalypse a pseudo science "documentation" on #Netflix by Graham Hancock
I fell a bit in a rabbit hole, leading me to a very crazy part of the #CultureWar from the right against science, including the #joeroganexperience and the harassment of archeologist in the aftermath. @FlintDibble made a great video about it: https://youtu.be/F5PvwzgfKKw
Flint, keep it up!

What better thing to do as watching a #Miniminuteman Video about Milo loosing his shit over the crazy conspiracy of "structures hidden under the Khafre Pyramid".

I will never get the picture of the "conspiray human centipede" out of my head ever again LOL

Maybe it's misty-eyed nostalgia on my part, but I feel there was a time that #NatGeo wouldn't just rehash peak woo, #AncientAliens bullshit, direct from the Daily Fail.

Fringe archeology, or pseudoarcheology, diverges from traditional methods, offering unverified theories often lacking scientific rigor. #pseudoarcheology https://youtu.be/CLcJaltTSfw?si=lIZ8lPI86JO8vbrZ

According to conventional history, #NewZealand is the last major landmass on Earth to be settled by humans. This distant island, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, remained uninhabited until the first Polynesians, the Māori, arrived around 1300 AD. However, a remarkable discovery was made on the North Island of New Zealand, one that can completely shatter our established understanding of the region's ancient history. Within the dense vegetation of the Kaimanawa Ranges lies a large megalithic structure known as the Kaimanawa Wall, a formation of stones so precisely fitted together that it has ignited a fervent debate about its origins, challenging our understanding of New Zealand's prehistoric past. The wall itself is characterized by a series of tightly fitted stones, which, at first glance, appear to have been placed with precision. The stones are massive, with some estimates suggesting that they weigh several tons each. It was determined that the stones were 330,000 years old and were made of ignimbrite, a volcanic stone made of compressed sand and ash. The nearest outcrop of such stone is 3 miles away or five kilometres. This aspect alone has fueled speculation about the level of sophistication required to assemble such a structure, should it have been the work of human hands. Upon closer examination, the arrangement of the stones reveals an almost geometric precision. The stones align in a manner that suggests an intentional pattern, with straight lines and angles that are uncommon in natural rock formations.

A couple days ago, I posted about watching 'Graham Hancock's 'Ancient Aliens: https://aus.social/@IngaLeonora/111714541733808204

Part of what prompted that viewing was stumbling on this debunking by Miniminuteman (https://tr.ee/UeXZIlrFtC). I do so love me a good debunking. If you do, enjoy!

I am currently up to season 7 episode 9 of 'The X-Files', 'Signs and Wonders'. Because binge-watching of this magnitude requires theme/genre/artist-adjacent breaks I'm currently watching Graham Hancock's 2022 Netflix dOCuMeNTaRy 'Ancient Apocalypse'. The "lost ancients of great achievement and advance" is the same as the ancient aliens conspiracy theory, with a slight twist in their origin. And just as racist. The X-Files manages to be much, much less racist, but since it's working primarily with the same material, occasionally bumps into such problems. I forgive it, the writing is leaps and bounds more engaging, there's also a great deal more evidence produced in the X-Files. And David Duchovny is orders of magnitude more charismatic, talented, and attractive than Graham Hancock. #AncientApocalypse #TheXFiles #GrahamHancock #DavidDuchovny

Resale shop find. Added to my pseudo science library. The newspaper article clipped out was being used as a bookmark. Also presumably a reminder to pick up the sequel. Or something.
