Lots of cool Egyptology on Twitter tonight from Justine “That Woman” Warren and Dr Hugh Thomas. #RealArchaeology, not #pseudoarchaeology, right, #ArchaeologyTwitter?

If we’re a “species with amnesia,” as Graham Hancock asserts, it’s an amnesia for recent pseudohistory. Look at the titles of these books. Do they help jog your memory? Hancock fans have forgotten the fringe literature by crackpots of the late 20th century. #Pseudoarchaeology

Steph Halmhofer, Verklempt Archaeologist talks about her research on the relationship beteeen #pseudoarchaeology and right-wing ideology. tiktok.com/t/ZP8RUXXwR/

My 12 yr old niece sent me this and I am so proud. #pseudoarchaeology #grahamhancock

A tactic of #pseudoarchaeology and display here; pointing out a detail (incorrectly) and appealing to the readers emotions i.e., "how stupid do they think we are to think this was made with hammer and chisel". #tartaria believers highlight this more with the horse & buggy idea 🧵

This has some really interesting implications for combating #misinformation and #disinformation including around #pseudoarchaeology nytimes.com/2024/09/12/hea…

From the decade which saw the growth of New Age theory and the publication in English of Chariots of the Gods, listen to the prologue to the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica and compare with the timelines of those who write and consume #pseudoarchaeology & #AncientAliens grift.

Sammy G Paul Barford Marc Young The best book I’ve read about this is the one by the late Steve Silberman. There are a lot of parallels between neurodivergent communities of sci-fi and fantasy fiction fans and communities of #pseudoarchaeology fans. a.co/d/hFzrrhX

Russell Seitz In the summer of 1982, Stephen Williams hired me as his graduate research assistant for developing “Fantastic Archaeology” (ANTH 139), a high-enrollment undergraduate course at Harvard. It began my formal engagement with combatting #pseudoarchaeology & was the basis for his book.

Of course, Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945) was himself a white supremacist “Atlantis hunter” and #pseudoarchaeology fan. He was a vicious antisemite and one of the leading architects of the Holocaust. After capture, he committed suicide by eating cyanide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_…

Mark Boslough @boslough.bsky.social If you don’t think the Cosmic Summit has been promoting disinformation, just listen to some of these presentations. #Pseudoarchaeology x.com/marc_young_90/…

George Howard and Marc Young didn’t like it when I used Twitter to point out that their bibliography of references on the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis left out sources that put their spurious claims in historical context. #Pseudoarchaeology cosmictusk.com/john-hoopes-un…

My feed strayed a bit from archaeology and #pseudoarchaeology today, but the issue of fighting disinformation is multidisciplinary. We need to work together!

Archaeologists, this is for you: a presentation by Flint Dibble 🍖🏺 hosted by Prof. Tom Higham of Human Evolution and Archaeological Sciences (HEAS) in Vienna. #Pseudoarchaeology youtu.be/x6Y4igSZUOU

“The search for lost civilisations has mesmerised humanity for centuries – Graham Hancock is this craze's latest and most eloquent manifestation.” #AncientApocalypse #Pseudoarchaeology engelsbergideas.com/notebook/the-i…

Celebrity corporate AlienCon is delegitimizing for the field of research tho. 🛸👽👁️🗿 #UFOTwitter #UFOX #AlienCon #AncientAliens #CorporateUFOs #CelebrityUFOs #UFOMoney #UFOExploitation #HistoryCon #Pseudoscience #Pseudoarchaeology

Realized I either didn’t watch more than clips or just don’t recall Hancock’s Netflix thing. Wondering if a live-tweet watch of extreme snark is in order in the near future #pseudoarchaeology
