[NEW VIDEO] Meet the translator behind Christopher Nolan's Odyssey

Emily Wilson has been vilified and lied about on social media for the last two months. In fact, the last 9 years

She was my former professor of ancient Greek at Penn. So, naturally, I wanted to talk with her about translating the Odyssey and being a public scholar

Our conversation covers the gods and heroes of the Odyssey, as well as topics of slavery, feminism, vegetarianism, and carnivory. We dive into various approaches to poetry and translation and the reception of Greek myth. And of course we touch on the new movie

It's a great conversation, and I hope it humanizes her and debunks many of the lies about her

Watch it now!

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

Senseless death and destruction. They wait until after elections because they know the people don't want it

Exclusive: U.S. and Israel draw up plans for renewed strikes on Iran after midterm elections. Iranian officials have promised to retaliate this time by expanding their targets, saying war will not be quick nor limited. Our story: w/ @julianbarnes @EricSchmittNYT @ronenbergman @natan_oden

@fettpet @noahsarkscans Well given im literally quoting Andrew Jones who provides the accurate width in this interview, I'd say for your question the answer is "both"

[Flint Dibble 🍖🏺 @FlintDibble]

@Jas_Shepp @noahsarkscans yeah that's wrong. i'm not lying. don't trust AI. The Durupinar formation is 138 feet wide

Claims that no new T-pillars have been excavated at Göbeklitepe since 2017 are simply incorrect. Several more were excavated this year alone and are already visible from the visitor walkway.

But T-pillars are not the be-all and end-all of Göbeklitepe. The ongoing excavations reveal much more about the settlement, its architecture and the lives of the people who built it. The results will be published in due course.

In the meantime, here is a picture of the excavation cat family. 🐈

A poet versed in Greek and Latin being praised, a speech in front of the acropolis, public executions of criminals, and a delegate to Greece faces bribery charges. Please check in on your ancient historians as time itself appears to collapse.

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she / they) @DoctorVive]

A new study identifies "a statistically significant doubling of the global warming rate during 2011–25 (0.40 °C per decade) compared to 1971–2025 (0.20 °C per decade)."

It claims that "the ensemble mean of 26 climate models fails to capture the observed doubling of the warming."

Hard to believe this, really. Apparently, zero grants for archaeology and bioanth projects were awarded by the NSF in 2026. The USA's long-standing leading position in these fields won't survive many years of no NSF research grants.

@LaurenWitzkeDE @PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @noahsarkscans Brilliant comeback, Lauren!

[Flint Dibble 🍖🏺 @FlintDibble]

@LaurenWitzkeDE @PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @noahsarkscans Yeah, not according to your colleague Andrew Jones. Get your facts right. This isn't some new piece of evidence, it's been part of the debate for decades

The National Science Foundation has preemptively gutted the SBE directorate, with zero archaeology awards in 2026. https://t.co/syykEdWYKB

Oh sure 😁

Tell that to your colleague Andrew Jones before lying about me getting things wrong

[Lauren Witzke @LaurenWitzkeDE]

The “Grumpy archeologist” should change his name to “Lazy archeologist” as he didn’t even get the dimensions correct.

The Durupinar Formation is 85 feet wide (approx 50 Egyptian cubits) in addition to being 515 feet long (300 cubits).

It’s the most basic argument and proves he didn’t do his homework.

It’s obvious he’s just regurgitating talking points and saying them on air.

Saying “geologists debunked it!” From decades ago Is lazy and proves nothing.

[Flint Dibble 🍖🏺 @FlintDibble]

@LaurenWitzkeDE Oh sure 😁

Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson think they’ve connected the dots on Atlantis in the Azores. The problem?

The dots are real. The lines are not.

I went through the geology, the Younger Dryas, flood myths, the Azores, Taş Tepeler, “quackademics,” and the claim that archaeology is suppressing the truth.

And somehow, after all that…they still haven’t found Atlantis.

New debunk is up now:

Hooray, a new issue of Archaeology Magazine is here! We’ve got a fascinating look inside a tomb made by one ancient Egyptian artist—not for a pharaoh, but for himself. Plus, adventures in Florida archaeology, real medieval vampire hunters, and much more.

This is the equivalent of a cultural genocide. The O’odham people view saguaros as embodied ancestors. DHS is plowing down thousands of them to build a border wall on sovereign O’odham land.
