Episode notes
Archaeology's Narrative Control
- Archaeology often tries to control the narrative about the past, rather than embracing new discoveries.
- This is partly due to its desire to be seen as scientific and avoid "woo-woo" ideas.
Lost Civilization and Cataclysm Myths
- A lost civilization likely existed during the Ice Age, as evidenced by global cataclysm myths and Younger Dryas impact theory.
- These myths, often dismissed as Spanish inventions, likely hold genuine indigenous origins.
Alaskan Boneyard Discovery
- A gold miner in Alaska discovered a boneyard with megafauna bones, some sawed with sophisticated tools.
- This discovery challenges conventional timelines and suggests human presence earlier than thought.
