Hello 🦋, I'm an archaeologist & YouTuber

My agenda is clear: fill the internet with #RealArchaeology and oppose pseudoscience

I'm currently writing a book about Atlantis, analyzing sheep teeth from Knossos, teaching archaeological theory, and filming the ultimate video takedown of Graham Hancock

Did you know that modern dark matter detection experiments rely on low background metals salvaged from ancient archaeological sites?

Plato has been silenced. Government censorship is alive and well in the USA

Disgusting hypocrisy from people who pretend to be for free speech

In a world dominated by AI & disinformation, I expect we will see a major pendulum swing culturally. People will crave authenticity and reality over deep fakes and conspiracist lies

"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

Thanks, for having me on @flintdibble.bsky.social!
I had a lot fun considering the ways that archaeology can be used in assessing a figure of folklore!

The earliest example I've found of the idea that the Great Pyramid was a power generator was published by George Van Tassel (the guy who first allegedly contacted Ashtar) in the February 1, 1954 issue of his Proceedings of the College of Universal Wisdom.
