Glad to be hosting @artcrimeprof for a guest lecture next week in my Frauds, Follies and Hoaxes class at UMASS, Amherst.

The event is open to the Public.

Visitor parking is metered or in the Campus Center Garage, and Herter Hall is a short walk.

@gchavez101 *wasn't

[Joseph A P Wilson @JosephAPWilson1]

@gchavez101 Mahooty was "Cherokee knowledge keeper". He was from Zuni Pueblo in Arizona.

[Lee Clare @drleeclare]

@Megalithic12000 Indeed, in popular science it was presented as an anomaly for a while; however, there was already Nevali Çori and the pillar sites discovered in the late 90s and 00s which didn’t make it into the public eye (till 2020). Some knew. It was never considered impossible. No conspiracy

[Hugh Thomas @DrHughT]

Sometimes in archaeology you dig something that is truly special.

Between 2014-2017 I excavated a 12 metre deep pit at Methone, a town destroyed by Philip the II of Macedon (where he got shot in the eye with an arrow).

My new video documents these 4 years..out in a few hours!

@Truthpole Mahooty wasn't Cherokee, but Zuni.

[Joseph A P Wilson @JosephAPWilson1]

@rebirthofthewo1 @Truthpole And Clifford Mahooty sure wasn't Cherokee. He was Arizona Zuni.

@Edessagospels @JRoastbeef44254 @morayross @DrZamilov @UnchartedX1 @ArtifactFNDN @karolypoka Are you reading the invoices at the pseudohistory central office? Given your efforts to rubber stamp their works, I ask how much does your 'expert' endorsement cost them?

[Joseph A P Wilson @JosephAPWilson1]

@Edessagospels @JRoastbeef44254 @morayross @DrZamilov @UnchartedX1 @ArtifactFNDN @karolypoka And modest too.

[Joseph A P Wilson @JosephAPWilson1]

@JRoastbeef44254 @Edessagospels @morayross @DrZamilov @UnchartedX1 @ArtifactFNDN @karolypoka The same source as always - the perfect brain of Ralph the Genius.

[Joseph A P Wilson @JosephAPWilson1]

@Edessagospels @JRoastbeef44254 @morayross @DrZamilov @UnchartedX1 @ArtifactFNDN @karolypoka Well I thought you were full of shit before, but now your logic seems impeccable.

[Johnny Roastbeef @JRoastbeef44254]

@Edessagospels @JosephAPWilson1 @morayross @DrZamilov @UnchartedX1 @ArtifactFNDN @karolypoka "A forger is not going to put handles on the vase, as that vastly increases the complexity."

Yeah, that's right, a forger of ancient Egyptian vases is not going to make a vase in the same style as an ancient Egyptian vase. That would be silly from a forgers point of view.

[Joseph A P Wilson @JosephAPWilson1]

@Edessagospels @JRoastbeef44254 @morayross @DrZamilov @UnchartedX1 @ArtifactFNDN @karolypoka 2/6th of a royal finger? You didn't reduce that completely. That is precisely half past a monkey's ass, and a quarter past his balls.

[Joseph A P Wilson @JosephAPWilson1]

@Edessagospels @morayross @DrZamilov @UnchartedX1 @ArtifactFNDN @karolypoka You do not know how forgery works. Forgers make handles because real vases have handles. Your overconfidence in your confabulation is truly remarkable. You have the rare ability to be zealous in conflating your uninformed opinions with facts.

We didn’t need DNA to prove that Polynesians had contact with Native Americans - there is Peruvian stone masonry on Easter Island (Rapa Nui).

Anyone who has seen an Inca wall once could identify it

[Joseph A P Wilson @JosephAPWilson1]

@ystheppu @lukecaverns More than one of us is sneering.

[Joseph A P Wilson @JosephAPWilson1]

@ystheppu @theChillgasm @lukecaverns Heyerdahl was a smart guy, but he got this stuff wrong.

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

In case you missed it: My new piece for Archaeology magazine, out today, explores fascinating new research suggesting that Ohio's Serpent Mound embodies an ancient creation myth about First Woman and the Water Serpent, telling a cosmic story across the earthwork. (Link below.)

[Gnostic Informant | Neal Sendlak @Gnosisinformant]

Is that why the “mainstream” narrative gets changed and re-written by nearly every dissertation that gets written?

Why did the “mainstream” narrative change when Gobekli Tepe was discovered?

When archaeologists excavated Knossos in the 20th century, why were they allowed to change it then?

Why was the “mainstream” narrative changed when Jericho was excavated?

Could it be that *evidence* changes the “mainstream narrative” rather than fantasy theories?

[Jason Colavito @JasonColavito]

My new piece on the secrets of Ohio's Serpent Mound is now available in the @archaeologymag July/August issue, in print and online. I examine exciting new research into the cosmology and mythology behind North America's largest effigy mound. https://t.co/GmIswJh2nm

@gchavez101 @SomewhereSkies That is unlikely to happen.
