But without any traveling white Atlanteans.Science vs. Speculation: Learn why rigorous scientific inquiry and the process of peer review are crucial for testing extraordinary theories.Critical Connections: Examine Hancock’s attempts to tie distant cultures together and why mainstream archaeology—and solid evidence—says otherwise.Tune in for a concise, engaging look at ancient sites, alternative history claims, and why a skeptical mindset is the archaeologist’s best tool.Credits:Written, hosted, and edited by: Fredrik TrusohamnProducer: Ashleigh AireyPart of the Archaeological Podcast NetworkContact:Website: https://diggingupancientaliens.comEmail: fredrik@diggingupancientaliens.comFacebook: facebook.com/Digging-up-Ancient-Aliens-108173641647111/Twitter: twitter.com/DUAncientAliensInstagram: instagram.com/digging_up_ancient_aliens/TikTok: tiktok.com/@digging_up_ancient_alienStore: https://diggingupancientaliens.com/merchBecome a supporter!

Silencing history and memory in the Christ of Europe - Digging Up Ancient Aliens
This time, we are going to do something a little bit different. We will do a case study of a country where the government has started to promote its preferred historical narrative. While some might not call that alternative history or pseudo-history, I would argue that this is overlapping. So we will look at Poland and its memory laws, how the government is policing museums, and trying to silence research on Polish complicity in the Holocaust. We will also look at Polish history to see how it came to be and what national memory they draw from.We will look at how they create emotionally triggering museums while leaving out the parts of history that put Poland in a bad light. We will see how PiS, the ruling party, is trying to silence museum directors and professors who don't follow the party line. In the past, we have discussed how governments in Bosnia and Indonesia have used state funds to promote psuedoscience. This isn't too far off, just fewer aliens and lost civilizations. But it is still essential to keep our eyes on this pseudo-history in times like this.Videos you hear in the episode:The Unconquered:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q88AkN1hNYMDziewczyna z granatem:https://youtu.be/6pTPMq4ZrGw?si=uYA_my0qMturS-vUYou will find sources on the episode page with a full transcript: https://diggingupancientaliens.com/episode-64-christ-of-europeContact:Website: https://diggingupancientaliens.comEmail: fredrik@diggingupancientaliens.comFacebook: facebook.com/Digging-up-Ancient-Aliens-108173641647111/Twitter: twitter.com/DUAncientAliensInstagram: instagram.com/digging_up_ancient_aliens/TikTok: tiktok.com/@digging_up_ancient_alienStore: https://diggingupancientaliens.com/merchBecome a supporter!

The Last Wonder Standing: Ramping up the Giza Pyramids - Digging Up Ancient Aliens
How were the great pyramids of Giza built? This is a question that's been asked for a long time. The answers have been ranging from those based on the best available evidence to the more far-out ideas. Among those there are suggestions that such precision and scale could only be the work of extraterrestrial intervention. But what do the most recent archaeological discoveries and scientific experiments tell us?This time we delve into the true ingenuity behind these monumental structures. The pseudo-historical narratives often propose that the pyramids' advanced engineering and astronomical alignments are beyond human capability. Yet, a closer examination of historical records, architectural techniques, and archaeological findings reveals a different story.Come with and find out how the pyramids at Giza where built.

Gunung Padang Uncovered: The Saga Continues - Digging Up Ancient Aliens
In this episode of Digging Up Ancient Aliens, the host, Fredrik, revisits Gunung Padang, a site in Indonesia that has become known due to a study and a pseudo-documentary on Netflix. We compare Ancient Aliens narratives and Graham Hancock's Atlantis Hyperdiffusion Theory. The then-sitting government initiated the excavation project at Gunung Padang in 2011 as part of a strategy to redefine nationalistic ideas and create a new national monument founded on an imagined advanced civilization. Now, both Ancient Aliens, Graham Hancock, and other Atlantis believers claim that the site reveals a 300-foot-tall step pyramid dating back at least 10,000 years. We will spend this episode looking at the hard evidence, the funding, and the reality of the claims, both from Ancient Aliens, Graham Hancock, Danny Hilman Natawidjaja, and others.It will be an information-packed episode where we will discover how pseudoscience actively defunds vulcano monitoring programs. How Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis has been disproven and how to not do your C14 dating. We also spent time among the Toraja people in Indonesia and learned about their culture. And what on Earth does Megan Fox have to do with any of this?As always, sources and a transcript can be found at the episode page.In this episode:Gunung PadangFollow the moneyThe paper: "Geo-archaeological prospecting of Gunung Padang buried prehistoric pyramid in West Java, Indonesia"Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis - busted!Misuse of mythologyThe Toraja peopleTongkonan What is Gunung Padang?Contact:Website: https://diggingupancientaliens.comEmail: fredrik@diggingupancientaliens.comFacebook: facebook.com/Digging-up-Ancient-Aliens-108173641647111/Twitter: twitter.com/DUAncientAliensInstagram: instagram.com/digging_up_ancient_aliens/TikTok: tiktok.com/@digging_up_ancient_alienStore: https://diggingupancientaliens.com/merchBecome a supporter!

Mummies, vampires, draugr, and aliens? - Digging Up Ancient Aliens
Halloween is soon upon us. Therefore, we will venture into the world of mummies, vampires, Camazotz, and draugr from an archaeological perspective. So we will look at how mummies became a medicine in Europe, the Book of the Dead, and the afterlife of Ancient Egypt. Then we will talk about the bat creature Camazotz, usually depicted with a knife and a human head in his hand. Lastly, we will discuss the draugr from Viking mythology. Was the draugr a ghost, undead, or something else, and what did the Vikings do to protect themselves from these creatures?Are there any archeological records of these beings, and what can we say about them?In Digging up Ancient Aliens, our host Fredrik uses his background in archaeology to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between in popular media, such as Ancient Aliens, Ancient Apocalypse, and many other places.Contact:Website: https://diggingupancientaliens.comEmail: fredrik@diggingupancientaliens.comFacebook: facebook.com/Digging-up-Ancient-Aliens-108173641647111/Twitter: twitter.com/DUAncientAliensInstagram: instagram.com/digging_up_ancient_aliens/TikTok: tiktok.com/@digging_up_ancient_alienStore: https://diggingupancientaliens.com/merchBecome a supporter!

Plato: Critias - Atlantis, philosophers and aliens? - Digging Up Ancient Aliens
It's summertime, so why not take a breath and relax? While examining pseudo-scientific claims is important, it's good to remember to take a breath and relax. It is also essential to look at the source material for the claims we investigate. So we will combine these things and have a bit of summer reading.This episode is different since we will spend time reading Plato's work "Critias" from start to finish.

Ancient Apocalypse IV - Written in stone
In this episode, we continue to look into Graham Hancock's new Netflix show, Ancient Apocalypse. Join Fredrik, who uses his background in archaeology and a bit of skepticism to look deeper into the claims presented in the show. Is Hancock on to something we missed, or are there better explanations?This is the final chapter of our Ancient Apocalypse saga. We have looked at Hancock's origin and spent time at several different sites in episodes 2 and 3. In this episode, we visit the infamous Bimini Road in the Bahamas. This site has long been touted as evidence of everything from extraterrestrial visitation to Graham Hancock's lost civilization. But is there any evidence to support these claims? We critically examine the site and its history, separating fact from fiction.We then delve into the world of old maps, including Piri Reis's map of the world, which has been the subject of much speculation and controversy. Is there any evidence suggesting that this map proves advanced ancient civilizations existed? We examine the claims and see where the evidence sets the course.Later, we're joined by archaeologist Jens Notroff, an expert on Göbekli Tepe, an archaeological site that has been the subject of many pseudoscientific theories. Jens shares his knowledge and insights about the site, bringing you the latest research. He has also been involved in the project Tepe Telegrams. Finally, we explore the archeoastronomy claims made by Martin Sweatman and presented by Graham Hancock. Are these claims based on solid evidence or mere speculation? We examine the evidence and present a critical analysis.In this episode:Bimini Road Piri Reis Map and Oronteus Finaeus Göbekli Tepe Interview with Jens Notroff Göbekli Tepe - The stellar connection ----------------------------------------Read more about Jens Notroff and his projects here:https://jensnotroff.com/https://www.dainst.blog/the-tepe-telegrams/----------------------------------------Social Media:Facebook: facebook.com/Digging-up-Ancient-Aliens-108173641647111/Twitter: twitter.com/DUAncientAliensInstagram: instagram.com/digging_up_ancient_aliens/TikTok: tiktok.com/@digging_up_ancient_alienContact:<a href="https://diggingupancientaliens.com/contact.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"...
