Historic & contemporary archaeologist, PhD student in Canada: the narrowed focus is on Brother XII & Aquarian Foundation, the bigger picture focus looks at pseudoarchaeology and how historic and contemporary far-right conspiritual groups/individuals use pseudoarchaeology, plus the archaeology of conspiritual landscapes.
Tl;dr = I have too much cursed knowledge about Atlantis.

And the second bit of news is that I've got a book chapter coming out in July! Where I talk about common ancient technologically advanced civilization (ATAC) pseudoarch narratives and why the far-right loves them. Featuring case studies from two extreme far-right guys who love G. Hancock's work in particular. Chapter is in this excellent edited collection:

Finally got back into my account 🙌 And I've got a couple of cool (imo) things to share:
The first is that I recently went surveying and found an Aquarian Foundation cabin at one of their settlements! Rumoured to be Brother XII's cabin, but I'll have to do a bit more work (I've got lidar and excavation plans 👀) to confirm whether it was his or another member's cabin. It was hard to spot at first, hidden among the moss and with two trees growing out of it, perfect for some dendrochronology!
Just a quick update here to say that I am also over there! I also have a two spare invite codes, so if any mutuals have been interested in setting up on Bluesky, send me a message!
(Based on my own experiences so far, Bluesky and Mastodon are quite different from one another, each with their own pros/cons)

Still thinking on ideas for the SHA conference in January, and I think I'm close to settling on using a poster for a fun side project idea I've had in mind for a while. A little landscape #archaeology compare/contrast of the Aquarian Foundation properties to the Home of Truth property in Utah. It would be especially interesting if I can find LiDAR data for Utah 🤔
(Also Ogden called her property sections "Portals" and "portals" is literally mentioned in the conference theme, so...)
