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
Well that's a first. While signing up for a livescience account, I was told my name may be impersonating a well-known person, so I had to change it.

Ummmmmmmmmmm.... hello, that's me

[NEW VIDEO] In my latest, I apply the first principles of archaeology to the GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA. It’s a real banger.

It’s got evidence you’ve never seen before, some fun debunks on fake archaeologists, and it features an interview with Dr Zahi Hawass. 🏺🏺🏺

Raise your hand if you're sick of the internet being filled with

1) liars and grifters
2) fake AI slop
3) bogus conspiracy theories

Resist it by engaging and boosting truthful, fact-based content. We have to act deliberately to retrain the algorithmic gremlins

Your thoughts?

NEW VIDEO! Investigating Elon Musk's very weird claims (based off of no evidence) about the Fall of Rome and birth rates led me down a very strange rabbit hole that shows how his catastrophic view of history informs the decisions he makes

Hugely important new data here, I need time to digest it (🙃), but this kind of detailed contextual work is EXACTLY what we need to avoid stereotypes that #Neanderthal body processing & cannibalism were simply "brutal massacres"
Did Neandertals choose their prey when practicing cannibalism?🍖

Check out our new study, just published in Scientific Reports - @natureportfolio.nature.com!

We provide the strongest evidence to date for a highly selective cannibalism at the end of Neandertal lineage, 41-45.000 years ago.

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.

You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

'Net migration has in fact been falling since before Labour came to power last July, and yet there has been no end of demand for ever tighter controls and no end of government acquiescence.'
The Guardian view on falling net migration: political debate is now detached from the facts
A fixation on reducing numbers leaves no room for rational discussion of what that means for the economy and society

Another comment worth sharing (one of many really) from my latest video. This one really emphasizes the impacts of both the doomsday aspect of fake archaeology AND the importance of revealing it to the public

Thanks to all who have bravely spoken up and shared their journey

The mental gymnastics here are revealing. "Science & pseudoscience are the same"

Pseudoscience "don't trust the experts" is a form of black-pilled nihilism

It's depressing. Our knowledge is constantly growing based on solid evidence, but grifters have brainwashed so many people otherwise

Fifteen years of ideological choices to strangle & gut the public realm - NHS to schools to social services to local museums - is what underlies the anger "tearing our country apart"; immigration is simply the scapegoat that the far right are pushing people toward.
Why can't Labour just say this?
