I hate to admit it, but Graham Hancock is RIGHT about #pseudoarchaeology on #Wikipedia. His words, from an interview on a popular podcast: "[T]he point about Wikipedia is, that's the first place, when somebody hears my name or hears about my ideas, first place they gonna go have a look is Wikipedia. And immediately they're gonna get turned off."
So if you're itching to debunk the racist garbage he spreads in Netflix's #AncientApocalypse, consider editing Wikipedia. It really makes a difference.
2) Archaeologists are constantly trying to figure out the next piece of the puzzle. Think of it like a crime show— each field season the crew is excavating evidence that gets sent to the lab where specialists analyze the data to get a picture of what was happening in the past.
3) People who are watching can actually get involved in local archaeological digs! Many sites are looking for volunteers of all kinds and how often do you get to do what you see on tv? (2/2)
Three reasons why #Netflix should replace the #psudeoscience ideas of #AncientApocalypse with a documentary about real #archaeologists
1) Excavations can be full of unexpected twists and turns. I’ve been washed down a flooded river, had a tunnel almost collapse while excavating and had a jaguar/puma fall into the excavation unit. (1/2)
I'm a final year PhD student exploring collaborative research practices among archaeologists and across the social sciences! Specifically interested in data sharing and open data practices, and the uptake of new tools that reconfigure knowledge production.
I also enjoy tinkering with digital things. Ask me about graph databases, qualitative data analysis, network analysis, text manipulation, and conceptual modelling!
