@4gottnHistory There is no "mainstream narrative." This is a fiction created by those with fantasies they want to be true. People with conclusions to which they seek only confirmation say, "mainstream narrative." In archaeology, we work scientifically. It changes and every thing is provisional.

@ancientorigins They show us that people in Mexico around 1950 were willing to fake archaeological artifacts as an industry, taking economic advantage of the delusions created by colonial expectations.

@simonmaechling As an archaeologist, I was told once, "not having a degreed education in a subject doesn't mean you can't be an expert." I answered, "think about that when you decide not to take your daughter to a plumber that considers himself an expert in gynecology."

Science-of-the-Gaps Fallacy:

When a phrase akin to “science doesn’t have all of the answers” is used to justify unsupported claims.

It's often used to promote pseudoscience and alternative approaches to health that are clearly and scientifically baseless.

@adancingferret @AthopeMarie The guy is a straight up pseudoscience proponent. He's Cayce-nutter and co-wrote a book with Andrew Collins on Denisovans that was steeped in 19th century racist views. Edgar Cayce and Atlantis seem to be his two main fixations.

@sdhaddow "...watching Dijkman in action as like “watching a surgeon with a butter knife” and only after a professional team of archeologists arrived later did he realise the difference."

Is this archaeologist's name pronounced the way I think it is?

[Carl Feagans cfeagans.bsky.social @cfeagans]

@glenparry8183 @adancingferret LOL... yes, that must be it! 😀

@jtlewis_arch I might have said, "I wasn't a doctor when the needed saving."

Fun artifact: This plastic 1950s/1960s Santa Claus mug used to have Vari Vue eyes that followed you as you moved the mug. Just sitting in the leaves for decades, left behind so many Christmases ago.

🚨 BREAKING: ProPublica reporter Robert Faturechi confirms the White House directly intervened to force the Pentagon to give a record-breaking loan to a startup just 3 months after Don Jr. invested in it.

The Trump administration is looting the country!

@adancingferret Wow. What a fucking moron. Scores of people who read this thread suddenly have zero interest in anything that guy has ever or will ever say. Way to build a brand.
