About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Rules

VIDEO on YT / Link on Invidious

[This video contains a clear analysis based on current archaeological research and offers several useful information about the archaeological sites discussed, and disproof a pesudoscientific theory.]

In this video, we begin our deep dive into the wonderful and imaginative world of Graham Hancock, journalist, sociologist, pseudoscientist, and pyramid enthusiast. In his most recent documentary series on Netflix, Hancock postulates the existence of an ancient lost civilization that dominated the world at the end of the last ice age. Throughout this series I will be taking a balanced look at this claim, weighing each piece of evidence presented, in an attempt to determine whether or not there is sufficient evidence for it.

I watched this whole series (Minuteman's, not Hancock's) when it came out and it's terrific. I really enjoyed it.

I also watched the series of videos on the Baghdad Battery, i just find amazing how Dr. Hafford answer Milo's video and find a ton of documents from the actual find.
