When we look at the sun bushman and we see the clear genetic evidence that they are the primordial seed of human civilization and life on earth, it is possible that their DNA is especially well equipped to have this potential to access these non-ordinary states of consciousness. This may in fact be a key physically journeying into them, giving these people the ability to do things that most of us seemingly cannot. That is glorious. We thought you were going to walk out. Yeah, well it's one thing to talk about, like to sort of do ancient aliens. This is like basically saying these people are currently aliens which seems a little more I mean quite literally dehumanizing. Right.
On this Live Show Beg-a-Thon, recorded on May 17, we discuss the pop culture phenomenon and appeal of pseudoarchaeology in its many forms, from fraudulent alternative history books like Erich von Däniken's 1968 book, Chariots of the Gods? Unsolved Mysteries of the Past, to television series like "Ancient Aliens" and "Ancient Apocalypse."
Alongside guest Dr. David S. Anderson, we discuss how phony "what if?" theories often go beyond the goofy, guilty pleasure premises of extraterrestrial visitors and lost civilizations to promote Eurocentric, racist pap and a mindless distrust of "the scientific establishment" in the stupidest and least productive way possible.
