March is 'New Chronology' month!

We'll not only be looking at Anatoly Fomenko's idea about how history is far too long, but we'll also dip into some other alternative histories too.

Today we try to wrap our heads around Fomenko's hardly groundbreaking idea that history is wrong, and try to understand the general points of it. Spoilers, it's basically all made up.

Show Notes:

(Why do I use Wikipedia in my show notes? Usually because it's not a bad place to start researching things, especially pseudo-theories. Also, people who want to pretend like the WIki is the devil are either 1) being elitist dicks or 2) don't understand how access works. I could also be using it to directly annoy someone. Either way, I'm not going to stop using it as a launch point. If that bothers you, you may want to re-read the above sentences.)

Welcome back to the Archaeology Fantasies Podcast!

February is Lovecraft Month, because I like Cthulhu and Lovecraft's impact on pseudoarchaeology.

Today I'm looking at how and why Lovecraft used archeology in his stories to create suspense and horror. I'm also contrasting him to one of his contemporaries, M.R. James, and how James used archeology in his own ghost stories. How were these two writers similar and how were they different, and How major was their impact on modern horror and ghost stories?

Happy Dirtmas! This is the Audio version of a vlogmas video that's up on the YouTube Channel. I've posted it here for your listening pleasure. Let me know what you think.

We're watching a video today that supposedly shows us 12 objects that are so mysterious that scientists can't explain them. Let's see how many of them are actually mysterious, and how many are already known.
