Ancient Apocalypse - Chapter 1 debunked - Digging Up Ancient Aliens

Ancient Apocalypse - Chapter 1 debunked - Digging Up Ancient Aliens

Join Fredrik as he digs into Graham Hancock’s latest claims on Ancient Apocalypse, season two, Chapter One. In this episode, skepticism and archaeology meet wild speculation as we explore: * White Sands Exposé: Discover how the striking gypsum dunes tell a well-documented geological and biological story—far from the global cataclysm Hancock claims. * Amazonian Earthworks: Journey to Acre, Brazil, where newly uncovered mounds and geoglyphs have challenged our historical ideas of the Amazon. 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.

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.

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. Sources can be found on the webpage [https://diggingupancientaliens.com/episode-56-pyramids-solved] 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.

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 [https://diggingupancientaliens.com/episode-54-gunung-padang].
